Loser, Loser Chicken Dinner?
After my afternoon class, I came home for a short break and made some lunch. Once again, I ended up compiling a random assortment of things. I added a few slices of chopped Golden Delicious apple to a bowl of broccoli slaw and topped it with 1 1/2 tablespoons of Makoto Ginger Dressing.
The apple added sweetness to the salad that went well with the dressing. I also had a handful of almonds paired with a wedge of Laughing Cow Light Garlic and Herb Cheese:
"Have you laughed today?"
I would like to point out that those commercials really bother me. No, lady, I’m not laughing just because I’m eating a wedge of cheese. Moving on…
I feel bad that Corey has been getting left with the task of making dinner during the week because I don’t get home until so late. Since I had some down time, I decided to be helpful and cook part of our dinner ahead of time, and then stick it in the fridge for later. I grilled up two Publix Ready-to-Cook chicken breasts we bought this week.
I forgot that everytime I use the grill pan, someone gets verrrry upset…

It took me forever to find her! She was hiding under the desk in our office.
Dinner
When I got home from class, I decided to make the rest of our dinner as simple as possible. This meant using up my favorite go-to items in the freezer. I microwaved two sides along with my pre-cooked chicken, and dinner was ready in 8 minutes flat.
I love frozen veggies. Especially the ones that come in some sort of sauce but are still low calorie! I also had a small glass of Chardonnay. Too small.
Unfortunately, as soon as I took one bite of the chicken, I suddenly remembered why I vowed to never buy that particular Ready-to-Cook item again! It’s like putting a cube of salt in your mouth! The ingredients claim that they are lemon and garlic marinated, but all I tasted was salt. Naturally, I still ate every bite, but it wasn’t very good. And now my sweet tooth is kicked into high gear!
I’m off to go finish watching Glee that I have recorded, and then I need to get started on studying for my first Microbiology lab practical tomorrow. Scary!
What is your favorite go-to frozen food item?
