While dinner was cooking I peeled and boiled potatos to make mashed potatos for tomorrow night's dinner

So we will have tonight-- baked chicken, mashed potatos and a salad.

I WOH and so I try to get a jump start on the next day. My boys LOVE mashed so I try to save that for a Sunday night dinner, BC it is time consuming-- it will be a nice surprize to have them mid-week.

I love the stir fry idea, but I always feel that it never turns out to be a "quick" meal for me...all that chopping and frying, am I alone? Perhaps I'm doing it wrong or not prepping properly. Can anyone share their easy and quick stir fry recipes/tricks?


For stir-fry, I put the rice in the rice cooker and cut up some chicken breasts/beef cubes/tofu and throw it into the wok with a bag of frozen broccoli or other veg and then once its cooked, i pour stir-fry sauce (LOVE the TJs soyaki sauce) on top.

Done.

Last night I made stuffed red peppers with brown rice, black beans, pico de gallo, and smoked pepper jack cheese. Served with chips and guac. Delicious!

19:54 here -

It really is tasty. This is the second time I made it - this time with chicken breasts instead of thighs. I took it out of the oven early because they would have been dry after 40 minutes.
