Papa Murphy's Take-n-Bake



I do love this pizza. It's their Gourmet Chicken Pizza. So, while we cooked it in the oven we sure didn't prepare it. Oh well.

Oven BBQ Chicken, Rice-a-Roni, Corn



Well, tonight I really copped out. I poured barbecue sauce on chicken and threw it in the oven for 40 minutes. I made rice and heated up corn. Whee. I also fell asleep for about 40 minutes once I put the chicken in the oven. Coincidence? I think not.

Of course, I didn't use Kraft ingredients. I don't think any of mine were, come to think of it. Regardless, it was still yummy.

Pork Chops, Sauerkraut, and Whole Wheat Bread



Pork Chops, Sauerkraut, and Whole Wheat Bread

I salted and peppered the pork chops on both sides. I browned them for about two minutes per side. Meanwhile, the oven was heating to 350. I also mixed a jar of sauerkraut (drained), 1/3 cup of brown sugar, half an apple (peeled and chopped), and 2/3 cup of water. I put the sauerkraut mixture into a casserole dish then topped it with the browned pork chops. I covered it with foil and baked it all for an hour. It was really yummy! I was going to make mashed potatoes but got wrapped up in making granola bars so I ran out of time. Luckily, I had a loaf of whole wheat bread from my visit to Whole Foods on Friday.

Asian Feast Night (Again?)



Potstickers for an appetizer - yum!



I then made chicken stir fry and teriyaki flavored Rice-a-Roni.

It was a satisfying dinner.
