Cooking 101

I decided something today..I will make my husband a real meal atleast once a week. Doesn't really seem like a stretch, but ya gotta start somewhere. We still eat like we're college kids and on our own.. you know what I mean, something you throw in the oven to reheat, cereal, a sandwhich, just whatever is in the fridge and easy. Thats how we eat most of the time, well, thats how I eat most of the time.

It mostly happens that way because Drew and I have different schedules a lot of the time. Mostly, I'm home way before him and don't want to wait for 5 more hours until he gets home so I just do something fast, and he never really makes a 'real meal'.

anyway, the point is, atleast one real meal a week for me and my husband. And also, I'll post the recipe I used for dinner. So here is recipe one of many more to come.

This comes from Southern Living's Ultimate Quick & Easy cookbook.
