Meal on the Run :)


This is a pack-n-go meal...I did this for a night that we all had to be somewhere early (in different places, of course). Dylan had open house 1/2 an hour after football practice ended so I needed something I could send with John so they could have a "picnic" before open house.
I mixed one large can of white breast chunk chicken, two tablespoons fat free mayo, and one tablespoon dijon mustard horseradish. Spooned it into buns. Bagged some pretzel sticks and grapes.
Each person's sandwich was made to order - one w/pickles, one w/american cheese, one w/swiss and pickles, and one with no bun! :)
Voila! Meal-on-the-run...quick & kept it healthy!

Beer Can Seasoned Chicken


This meal is sooooooo YUMMY! And it was something I just really threw together for something different. I needed it to be a quick meal, but flavorful as well. So...I threw four chicken breasts in a baking dish and sprinkled them with Weber's Beer Can Seasoning. Then I sliced a red pepper and jalapenos to throw in the baking pan and roast with the chicken. While that was baking I defrosted a box of frozen spinach, squeezed out the excess water with a cheese cloth, and sauteed it with a little EVOO, garlic, & mushrooms. In a separate pan I stirred together a box of Betty Crocker scalloped potatoes.
When plated, I put the chicken breast on top of a bed of spinach/mushrooms then sprinkled everything with some feta cheese!
