Anyone Else Hate to Cook?


I'm so not a chef/cook by any stretch of the imagination. Really, I hate cooking. I keep thinking that maybe my disdain is due to having a small kitchen, no "proper" training or a fridge that doesn't have the freezer on the bottom (I'm sure I'd enjoy cooking more if I had a freezer on the bottom).

So, I'm all about making it asap with minimal effort and if I can avoid touching raw meat, BONUS!!! Here's a complete, simple meal that's ready in an hour, but only because the chicken bakes for that long. Prep time is only five to ten minutes. Serve with canned fruit like peaches and some fresh from the store bakery French bread.

Entree: Mushroom Chicken
Ingredients
  1. Boneless, skinless, frozen chicken breasts (4 or however many you can fit in a 9x13 baking dish) The chicken doesn't affect the taste or the overall dish, so you can make as much or little as you need.
  2. 1 can cream of mushroom soup (I use the fat free one)
  3. 1 cup of milk
  4. 1 packet of onion soup mix
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place froze chicken breasts into baking dish then mix together cream soup, milk and onion soup, until blended, and pour over the chicken. Bake for 1 hour. Serve over rice.

Salad: Cranberry Almond
Ingredients
  1. Dried cranberries (I use Craisins)
  2. Slivered almonds (you can find these in the produce department next to the croutons)
  3. Shredded mozzarella
  4. 1 package of ready to use salad lettuce mix
  5. Dressing of choice (I like ranch with the cranberries)
You can buy everything ready for use (so simple), so all you need to do is throw it all together in a bowl and use however much or little of each ingredient as you want. The cranberries have a nice tangy flavor and the almonds provide a little crunch. Yummy and simple.

Enjoy!

I love to cook, whether it be for me or others. I love cranberries!!! This recipe sounds so easy. I'm going to have to give it a try.

Promoting! Have you tried...

Dropping fliers from an airplane? Don't! Not only is it an ineffective way to advertise but you could be cited for littering. While the windshield approach may seem like a better idea, it's also just as ineffective and think about it, what do you do with fliers left on your windshield?
A better use of your flier? Bulletin boards in places where you know your target audience will be. If seniors are mostly likely to purchase your product, put fliers up at the senior center bulletin boards. Targeting parents? Go to daycare centers and schools. Most bulletin boards are free to use, and remember that ads are taken down on a regular basis, so be sure to check back to see if you need to put up another one.
Now get to work! :o)
