How this happens to me most days is a mystery to me too. It's no surprise that we eat this time everyday, and that I am going to have to prepare something in order for us to eat. Some days I have things together and have a meal well planned out and ready to go. But lets be honest, this is not most days for me. Between kid activities, appointments, and errands my day "at home" is not at home. So I have come up with a survival solution. Easy, go to meals.
Easy go to meals for me are the ones where I try to have the ingredients on hand most of the time, so I don't have to run any last errands to pick up missing items. They also involve few dishes or time in preparation. I would like to share our family favorite with you. Cranberry Chicken.
Cranberry Chicken:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place 3 or 4 chicken breasts in a covered baking dish.
Combine:
1 can of whole cranberries sauce
1/3 c western dressing
1 packet of dry onion soup mix
Cover the chicken with the sauce mixture
Bake for 1 hour
I usually serve it with brown rice and a salad.
This recipe is a constant request from my family, and has also become my go to meal to bring to new moms just home from the hospital.
What are your meal time survival strategies? Any great go to recipes to share?
Happy cooking!
