It has been super busy around here but we only got takeout once last week. We finally hired more people at my job so I will no longer be putting in 40+ hours a week. I am even just suppossed to be part time but the extra money has been nice.

Tonight we are having roast beef with roasted red potatoes, zucchini, and fruit salad.

What is company chicken? Sounds like it must be good!

My friend served this dish at her Bunco party. When I asked her for the recipe she said she really didn't know what it was called so she would just call it company chicken. Lol!

Here is the recipe she gave me.

1 brick cream cheese softened
1 package dry ranch seasoning mix
2 cans cream of chicken soup
4 to 6 boneless skinless chicken breast

In a bowl mix the cream cheese, ranch dressing mix and 2 cans of chicken soups. Place chicken breast in the bottom of a crock pot. Pour the mixture from the bowl over the chicken and cook on high for 5 hours. Serve over cooked egg noodles or bow tie pasta.

I use this recipe when I have to take one of the kids to a ball practice. It is easy and gives them something hot to eat.

Enjoy!

Yum! Thanks!

Just found this thread. And I M so impressed by all the people who actually cook dinner almost very night.

I cannot find the time or stamina to cook every night after work.

And seem to hate to grocery shop.

For instance this will be our menu this week

Tonight... I had left overs from day. Effort thanksgiving. My husband had a bowl of cereal sone had bagel with cream cheese and daughter had turkey sandwich

This is normal routine for us.

Congrats to those of you who still cook.

Hopefully I'm not overreaching but I just wanted to suggest trying a crock pot. You can't go wrong with a crock pot! I use it at least once a week for convenience. Throw in the meat, veggies, water and dinner is ready when you get home.

Dizzi - I agree with 100acrewood. Just use a crockpot. It is a great help!.
Here are a few super quick meals in the crockpot:
BBQ chicken or roast - add chicken or roast with some BBQ sauce (1 cup to cook and more when done if needed). Just shred the meat when you get home to serve on buns and have with canned baked beans. Presto you have dinner!
Spaghetti - Frozen meatballs and spagetti sauce: cook all day and when you get home you just need to cook noodles and open a bag of premade salad for dinner.
Pot Roast - Chuck roast, bag of baby carrots, can of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix. Cook all day and just serve over egg noodles when you get home.
There are endless amounts of crockpot recipes that are really quick and easy so just google crockpot recipes to get you started... Hang in there - just keep menu planning as that is half the battle to getting supper on the table.

I just returned from our latest trip to Disney and it was absolutely beautiful with all the Christmas decorations!! Here is menu for the rest of the week until I can get to the store on Saturday:
Today - Spaghetti and meatballs / peas
Wednesday - Pot Roast
Thursday - Mexican chicken soup
Friday - leftovers
