What is a simple and quick idea for dinner?!
Quick Chicken in Wine Sauce...
Take boneless breasts and pound them until they are about 1/4 inch thin.
Then, just lightly flour the breasts and sautee with some garlic in a tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Leaving the chicken in the pan, add 1/4 wine (any type is fine, I usually use marsala) and 3/4 water.
This should thicken and you can add other seasonings to taste. I just add a dash of salt and fresh mushrooms & spinach to be a bit adventuresome. Cover pan and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes. Depending on how thick you'd like your sauce, you may add more water. Serve with any type of rice or noodles and a side salad. (Prepare this while chicken is simmering.)
Fast, delish, and it tastes like you spent HOURS in the kitchen.

Quick & Tasty Salmon...
Important: Because it is usually over an inch thick, cut into serving-sized fillets; otherwise, it will not cook thoroughly! (You can use any type of fish fillet; tilapia is good, too!)
In a flat, casserole dish, lay the fillets and drizzle 1/2 c. of orange juice. (Pineapple Orange is the best!)
Place a small pat of butter on each fillet, sprinkle a dash of pepper, cover with plastic wrap, and steam in the micro at high for about 3 minutes. Let stand for 1 minute and microwave for another 3 minutes.
Bon appetit!

Pound the heck out of some pork chops. dice some apples and put a pile inthe middle of each one. roll those puppies up and wrap with one strip of bacon per rolled up chop. Bake for about twenty minutes on 400.
Toss a green salad and a canned veggie into the mix and you have a workday dinner on the table in about ahalf hour.
If you don't want to cook,go out and pick something, or order a pizza.
if you do want to cook microwave something or watch Rachel Rays cooking channel. (30 minute meals)
sheperds pie is the best.
but if you want to make it REAL simple,
put some noodles on and add Ragu.
Minute Steak Sandwiches with Texas garlic toast and a green side salad. You can broil minute steaks in...literally...minutes. Texas garlic toast can be popped in your little toaster oven and done in the same amount of time as your steak. And if you buy the pre-mixed salads, you can have it tossed together with your favorite dressing in no time.
For dessert....ice cream sundaes or a slice of apple pie from the bakery.
