Snacks and dinner
Hello! It is American food day here on Blog of the Morning Calm. First I have to share with you something I find odd. I buy our food at the commissary (so far, not odd). None of the food is marked "export". I think this is because technically it is still on American soil. Well none of the food except for Lay's brand chips. Isn't that odd? Why only the chips? Here is an example.
The second part of this is that I have a recipe for extremely easy chicken. I made it up myself. But I wanted to share only because it is so easy I can hardly believe it.
This is what you will need for 2 people:
1/2 jar favorite spaghetti sauce
2 chicken breasts (can be frozen even)
1/2 bag of washed fresh spinach
any other uncooked veggies you may have
2 servings of pasta or rice (cook this while chicken is cooking)
Okay so throw half of the jar of spaghetti sauce into an 8X8 glass dish. Place half a bag of spinach on top. Add 1/4 cup water. Mix all together. If other veggies, add these (today I added some leftover fresh zucchini) place chicken on top. Leave uncovered and place into preheated oven. If frozen, cook at 375F for 50 minutes. If fresh cook 30 minutes or until done.
Serve over pasta. Enjoy. Approx. 350-400 calories per person (pasta included).
I made this up the other week when we had some frozen chicken, spinach and spaghetti sauce. I didn't realize you could actually cook frozen chicken right from the freezer, but our bag of frozen breasts says you can. Who knew? Not me!! I guess that is why some one else is writing the labels on the bag. This is so great to make when you forget to thaw out your chickens or if you feel like making a lazy Saturday dinner.
Just sayin' is all.
Happy dinner.

Great minds think alike! We both have recipes on the brain today - did you see my cooking posts? :) This sounds good - I'll have to try it :)
Your chocolate pancakes look awesome. Not that the healthy veggie dish doesn't... :)
I posted more over on your site.
I tried to make spanish tortilla and I'm not quite there yet. I haven't reached the delicate balance of making sure the eggs cook all the way through and yet having it at a low enough setting it doesn't get black.
I'll get it - eventually.
miss you.
