There are lots of other ways to have easy dinners.

And MUCH healthier ways too.

I'm not the BEST cook in the world but I am much better than I used to be and I try. And even when something isn't GREAT, it doesn't suck. We just decide it's not something we need to have again.

I only make it a few times a year. I just haven't found a good one yet. I just made a Chicken Helper (Lemon & Herb) and it was meh.

And yes, I'm a terrible conventional cook but I rock at slow cooker recipes. I'm making soft chicken tacos in the slow cooker right now.

Ya I probably wouldn't have asked that on here, MyBCS should get better answers than "lolpoor".

If you have to eat them try these. Chili Mac. Beef Pasta. Crunchy Taco. All can be made other ways but for $5 and you're done it's ok.

Instead of meals in a box, try buying a ****ing cookbook. Rachael Ray's 365 No Repeats is good for starters.

jh. Does that cookbook have 30 minute meal kind of things? I useually have about 15-20 prep and cook time for dinner and I'm running out of options.

Yes. It has 30 minute, 45 minute, and hour meals. She has another one of nothing but 30 minute meals.

Cool. I will have to check hers out. I've always liked RayRay.

I hate not having time to cook/prep anything. These last 2 days have been awsome. Huge ass breakfast for the 2 of us. Lunch that didn't come with fries. And dinner that I actually spent some time on. Too bad I've only got one more day

Just about every meal is a 30 minute meal once you know what you're doing.

My favorite quick dish is garlic skrimps and pasta

Get home: Heat a pot of salted water. Toss 1/2 lb of peeled/deveined shrimp in a large bowl and fill with water

Go change clothes and hug your family

Drop 1/2lb thin spaghetti into the water

Sautee 3-4 chopped garlic cloves and sautee with 1/4c olive oil. Drain and add the shrimp

With about 2 minutes to go on the pasta, cut the florettes off a head of broccoli right into the water.

Finish cooking shrimp and when the pasta/broccoli are done drain and add right to the garlic shrimp. Toss with 2 Tbls butter, fresh chopped parsley, and red pepper flakes

Plan ahead. It takes 25 minutes to roast a pork tenderloin. Mix pineapple juice, salt, garlic, cayenne pepper, and balsamic vinegar together and marinate overnight.

You can steam broccoli in less than 10 minutes. Instant brown rice cooked in chicken stock is doesn't take long either.

A salad is quick and never killed anyone either. If you cut chicken breasts in half (down to half thickness), then you can grill them in ten minutes.

Drive on, you just became my best friend. Might you have a book for purchase instead of Mrs Ray's?

Veggies and salads I have no problem with, I can trust her to do those. It's the main dishes that I sometimes don't have enough time to complete.

Yep, and when making stuff like marinated chicken, double or triple the recipe and freeze in a ziploc right in the marinade. Then you don't get stuck buying not very good pre-marinated meats (such as the ultra-overrated HEB fajitas) when you need something fast.

I don't know why they call this stuff Hamburger Helper. It does just fine on its own.

Go away stupid brother. Keep it up and I'll post embarrassing baby pictures of you on here.

That said, I'll have to get that Rachel Ray cookbook.

Maybe you start out with food in a box, but over time it is good to cook from scratch. I am not a hamburger helper person, but I ahve been cooking since I was about six.

Kentucky, I've never been much of a cook but I'm learning.

My main problem is overcooking meat.
