Answers:
alright: here are a few just to get started. contact me for more...
this works for either chicken or seafood.
for seafood: take frozen shrimp, scallops, and/or calamari (any or a mix) and sauté untill done. set aside. (add red pepper flakes while cooking to make it spicy).
Next, take a can of Coconut milk(can be found at most supermarkets like Trader Jos or Whole Foods) and add some sweet chilli paste or sweet chilli sauce. (i think its called the second) place the coconut milk ina medium saucepan with a thick bottom, and add the chilli sauce untill it makes a pink-orange color. (not as much chilli as you would think) some people like more chilli taste than others. let the mixture simmer for 10 min. drizzle the sauce over the seafood to taste. (i like a lot). the other thing you could do is add butter to the seafood to give it flavor. Now, this sauce works with chicken, talapia, cod, shrimp, scallops, calamari, and lots of other stuff...hope you like it! CONTACT ME FOR MORE!
easy chicken

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup diced tomatoes, drained

Heat oil, lemon juice and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. When onion is tender, add chicken, mushrooms and tomatoes.
Cook over medium high heat for 5 to 7 minutes each side, stirring occasionally, or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
Buy a pork roast, put it in the crock pot, pour in bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce and a 12 ounce beer. Turn it on low before you go to work, when you get home, it's done. Take it out of the crockpot. Wrap in Aluminium Foil. (allow the meat to "rest")Make a bag of uncle Ben's rice. Heat up a can of corn. Unwrap meat. Viola! Easy dinner.
