Answer 2

Grilled Portobello-Goat Cheese Pitas:

If the tomatoes are ripe, skip grilling them. Serve with a tropical fruit salad of mangoes, cantaloupe, and pineapple sprinkled with toasted coconut.

1 1/2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 (6-inch) pita rounds
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
1 (6-ounce) package portobello mushrooms
2 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/3 cup (3 ounces) goat cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

Preheat a grill pan over medium heat.

Combine garlic and oil; brush evenly over pitas. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper evenly over pitas. Place pitas in pan, and cook 2 minutes on each side or until toasted.

Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper evenly over mushrooms and tomatoes. Place mushrooms in pan; cook 6 minutes or until tender, turning once. Remove mushrooms from pan. Add tomatoes to pan; cook 1 minute.

Spread goat cheese evenly over pitas. Arrange the mushrooms and tomatoes evenly over pitas. Sprinkle with chopped basil.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 topped pita)

you should bake an eggplant casserole. Kinda like a lasagna but with eggplant. Kids will love it too. You and your husband can enjoy it with some Dancing Bull Chardonay. Seve with a baguette. Excellent taste! Your family will thank you and its a money saving dinner with the taste of FINE dining!

Answer 5

Manwiches with potato chips....On a side note though. You should consider getting a crock pot. All you do is put in the ingredients and let it cook. After a long day at work you already have a full meal ready when you get home. I love it.

Answer 8

CHICKEN MARSALA - In first frying pan, Cut boneless chicken into chunks or strips, coat with flour and cook in butter until all sides just start to brown, set aside. In second frying pan, melt butter and add fresh sliced mushrooms (lots) and cook until they just start to soften, add generous amount of Marsala wine and a couple of finely diced garlic cloves and cook for three minutes. Add chicken from first pan and cook until sauce thickens (flour from chicken will thicken sauce), Add a small spritz more Marsala wine ( to refresh Marsala wine flavor) and serve immediately.
