Answer 2

Well, It's not really a "quickie" but it is a time-saver for a busy weekday.(Version of chicken and rice) In the morning before you go out, throw together in a crock-pot, Frozen chicken breasts or tenders, 1 family size can of Cram of chicken soup, 1/2 can of water, salt & pepper to taste. Let simmer in pot for up to 6 hours on high(8 hours on low). When you get home make some instant rice. Plating: Spoonful of rice, add a little chicken soup "gravy", get a peice of chicken. If you feel you need a veggie, green beans or broccoli always go well with it.

Answer 3

I keep any extra food that I made in the freezer that way my family has healthy tv dinners. For example when I make lasagna I make 4 pans of it or when I make sauerbraten I make 2 at a time and shave the meat thin on my little meat slicer and put it in a pan with all the gravy. I just toss them in the oven for a while and voila a healthy homecooked meal. I rotate the pans every month and it is great whenever we have unexpected guests.
