[quote=Anonymous]1) tortellini w/red pepper sauce:
buy one of those bags of Barilla tortellini. I get the spinach & ricotta, and the smaller bag works for our family of three. While the pasta is cooking (according to pkg directions), combine a jar of roasted red peppers (drained), a couple cloves of garlic/garlic powder, juice of 1/2 lemon, a glug or two of olive oil, a dash of cayenne pepper, and salt & pepper in a blender and puree until smooth. mix it up with the hot cooked pasta & serve.

2) easy side: frozen steam-in-pkg peas (I prefer the Steamfresh brand), tossed with salt, pepper, olive oil, juice of 1/2 lemon, and chopped fresh basil (I sub 1 tbs of the stuff that comes in a tube). These are delicious. I often serve them with a grocery store rotisserie chicken and instant mashed potatoes & I feel like a total fraud but my husband & kid LOVE IT.

3) buy a frozen pkg of mixed stir fry veggies. cook them in a medium saucepan with a bouillon cube (I use 1/2 a knorr's chicken cube), salt & pepper, and a little olive oil. add a shredded chicken breast. (I buy a bunch of boneless/skinless ones on sale, boil them, & freeze individually to defrost in the micro and shred as needed.) Meanwhile, microwave one of those frozen bags of rice. When the veggies & chicken are heated through, combine with the rice and a handful of shredded cheese (I use the mexican four-cheese blend). The cheese gets all melty and good.

4) Put whatever cut of beef you like in a crockpot and add a jar of peperoncini (drained), with a little water to cover the bottom of the pan. I let it cook all day & then serve it over rice.[/quote]
