I came across a recipe I really like that I've been making a lot, and it's super easy. Brown some boneless skinless chicken (I use thighs, but breasts work, too) in a skillet with a lid. Dump a jar of salsa on top, bring to a simmer. Put a whole bag of shredded broccoli slaw on top, put on the lid and simmer until the chicken is cooked through. Fish the chicken out and mix the slaw veggies in with the salsa. Sometimes I serve it with rice or potatoes, sometimes just the chicken and veggies.
I just saw on America's Test Kitchen last night how a regular fry pan with a large bottom surface heating area works better than a wok. Because woks are deep, the heat from a flat surface (oin American kitchens) doesn't heat the sides as well, so only the small bottom area gets hot. Woks were actually made to set into a deep, hot area where even the sides would get hot.
You guys came up with some good stuff. I'm gonna have to try some of them. You can tell who the mom's are here just by the way they whipped out these quick-ish comfort food style meals together for the family.
I never had "hamburger gravy" until MG came along. I haven't had it for a few months, so I might make it for my grandson this weekend. (I get to babysit! YAY!)

Sounds good, have to give that one a whack. I'm not really doing a low carb diet, but more of a trim off the "bad" carbs deal. I'd probably either back off of the potatoes or rice or just have a little bit of them for taste. This sounds like a tasty, quickie and healthy dish.
I read or hear about people and how they eat and they just don't have a clue about proper nutrition. I think a lot of vegetarians who mean well but don't understand how to get proper nutrition intake. Mrs. Chow's mom, LOL, nice lady, but just completely clueless about food.
You need balance of good carbs, fats and protein. So many people try to eliminate fat thinking that they're eating healthy. LOL, that has been the dieting motto for the last 30 plus years and it's not working for a lot of people. We need the good fats and occasionally eating some of the bad fats isn't the end of the world either. LOL
You mean "the good fats" like in Toll House cookies, right?
Oh you and your food thoughts! I make mine with peanut butter substituted for half of the butter, a handful of oatmeal, Guittards Milk Chocolate Maxi Chips, and macadamia nuts. They're softer with peanut butter
But then I have to bring them to work or I'm eating them for 3 meals a day
I fainted at a concert last night. One second I was thinking "it's kinda stuffy in here" and the next thing I know I'm on the floor with people asking me if I'm okay. I guess I'm okay--I have a lump on my head and a nice feeling of embarrassment. D'oh.
