Hubby and I are officially moving out of NY in a little over a week. Needless to say, things are quite busy here. Packing, packing and more packing. Seriously, where did all of this stuff come from?! Also, the weather here, as I'm sure it is in most places, is hideously hot. I love being in the kitchen, but this weather makes me want to take a nice long break. I would be absolutely happy to eat giant salads everyday, but I have a hubby that works like crazy and goes to the gym everyday and needs some heartier food. Also, since we are really getting down to the wire, I am trying to use up all of the ingredients in my fridge and freezer. Have I ever mentioned that I have the refrigerator that came with the apartment, plus an additional refrigerator/freezer combo and a small chest freezer I bought a couple years ago? So there was quite a bit of stuff to go through.
I discovered a package of Gardein Mandarin Orange Crispy Chicken that I bought a couple months ago when it was on special hanging out in the freezer. I usually like to save those kinds of items, silly as it seems, for when I feel like I'm going to need them. Today was definitely one of those days! Way too hot to deal with being in the kitchen for an extended period of time. So I just cooked the chicken according to the package directions, made a big green romaine lettuce salad and sauteed some leftover rice I had in the refrigerator with some olive oil, onions, broccoli, tamari and red pepper flakes. Simple, quick and filling. Just what the hubby wanted. I'm in trouble though - as soon as he finished his dinner, he decided he wants pizza tomorrow. Really babe? I'm wondering if he realizes I'm going to have to turn the oven on to like 450 degrees for an extended amount of time. We'll see if that really happens!
