So here are a couple of super easy recipes I love..... Russian Chicken (boneless skinless chicken), boil in a bag brown rice, russian dressing (2) and apricot preserves (large jar)...put chick, dressing and preserves (mixed over chicken) in casserole dish @400degrees for 30-40min and serve over rice...YUMMY Boneless, skinless chicken, kraft italian dressing, chicken broth, brown rice, fresh green beans....cook chik in 1/4cup italian dressing in a skillet until brown both sides (cooked all the way thru)....then toss in broth (1cup) and 2cups chopped green beans and 1 cup rice (cover, simmer on med-hi until done). Delish. Good luck and welcome back. U were missed. :-) Okay, let me say I empathize as I 2 suck as a cook. So here are a couple of super easy recipes I love…..

Your apartment sounds exactly like the one I had when I was teaching in Japan!!!! I also didn't cook for the same reasons as the ones you listed! Now that I'm married to a farmer and Mom to a 14 month old, cooking has become one of my passions. I'm not one for labor-intensive dishes, so all the recipes you'll find on my blog (in the recipe archives) are EASY...and IDIOT-PROOF...and usually take less that 30 mins! I agree with some of your readers. A crockpot is essential for no-fuss dishes! You can make chili, soup, stew, ribs, chicken, roasts, cabbage rolls, etc...and not even really have to do anything! I put my ingredients in the crockpot in the morning, and by supper time, supper is ready! Oh my goodness, Jane! Your apartment sounds exactly like the one I had when I was teaching in Japan!!!!

They are great - put frozen piece(s) chicken in the crock in the morning, cover with chicken soup straight out of the can - throw a little basil or oregano on top with a slice of swiss cheese - let it cook as you work - come home to a wonderful aroma - do up a potatoe or veggies and dinner is ready!

Just buy a whole chicken, smother with some olive oil and pop in the oven at 375 till done (usually 1 1/2 hr) I usually make one on Sundays since it takes a while and have dinner for sunday and Monday and then make chicken salad with the rest.

It's what goes into moo shu sauce at Chinese restaurants, and it's in a jar in the Asian section of the grocery store. Iron Chef even produces a brand! If you can find that you can make mahogany beef stew... and Brian will LOVE it. If you don't eat beef then you could sub in chicken and it would be more cacciatore-like.
