I Don’t Cook

Much to my husband’s chagrin, I don’t cook … very well. Hey, he shoulda figured that out before he married me. Oh I’ve tried over the years, and thrown out a dried-out, burnt pot roast or two in my time — such a waste of money (and gas for the oven)! So, I’ve come to a self acceptance of my limited abilities in the kitchen.

For others who are in the same boat, I want to share a company I found that I LOVE! It’s called Home Bistro and boy oh boy do they help you fake it. LOL.

Yummy, easy and their samplers are pretty affordable. They’ve lowered shipping on all orders to $9.95

*Full disclosure: If you click through from my blog to purchase, they give me a small commission.

Now, I don’t make these everyday. I get Hormel meals (what I call “nuke-a-meals”) and pizza and those Tyson chicken fillets to fill in. Here’s a good I DON’T COOK recipe for those chicken fillets.

Quick and Easy Chicken Parmigiana

Microwave one Tyson Chicken Fillet per person (make sure you get the fillets – they’re in the pouches in the frozen food area)

Cook some linguine or spaghetti (look, if I can boil noodles, so can you!)

Microwave your favorite ready-made sauce

Assemble it on the plate in layers: Pasta, a ladle or two of sauce, chicken.

Shave a little parm cheese over the top.

Viola, chicken parmigiana in 15 minutes or less – depending on how fast you call boil water. And, no burnt meat!
