Here's one we like:
sage and thyme (50-50 mix. 1Tbs each should be more than enough for a large family. I mix some and keep it on hand)
Chicken breasts
splash olive oil
cream of chix soup
mash potatoes
Sprinkle (not coat) chicken with herb mix. Cook on stovetop with a small splash of olive oil.
Heat Cream of Chix.
Place chix and potatoes on individual plates, pour soup over the top. YUM!
The cream of chix soup works as a lower fat sub for gravy and is pretty tasty.. |

Then put it in a baking dish with the cream of chicken (or mushroom) soup mix. Bake it till the pork chops are super soft!! It is yummy |

Children: DD (10) and DS (12) | Re: (relatively) HEALTHY, easy recipes.. | | This is one of my favorite crock pot recipes. I've also tried it without the lemon, and that's good, too! Lemon Honey Chicken 1 lemon 1 whole roasting chicken, rinsed 1/2 cup orange juice 1/2 cup honey 1. Pierce lemon with fork. Place in chicken cavity. Place chicken in slow cooker. 2. Combine orange juice and honey. Pour over chicken. 3. Cover. Cook on Low 8 hrs.. Remove lemon and squeeze over chicken. 4. Carve chicken and serve.
VERY easy to make and delicious!

What did they eat? Don't feel too badly. Look at it as a valuable real life lesson. They will associate eating these unhealthy foods with being sick and will (hopefully) limit or avoid them in the future. |

Yea I don't see them eating like that again. It looked like fun at first glance but it made them so sick. Makes you realize how good you actually eat after eating like that. |
