Lazy Dinners

Lazy Day!

So I'm in the "try not  to get burned-out" portion of the school year, between "refreshed from the break" and "testing season" and dinners have needed to be quick and easy. I made some quick recipes last week that turned out pretty good. And by recipes, I mean really basic ingredients that I could throw together quickly.

1. Bring home a rotisserie chicken and some asparagus. While you are shopping, call ahead and ask your husband to peel and chop some potatoes.
2. Boil the potatoes with salt, rosemary, and garlic. Drain and mash; mix with butter and a splash of milk.
3. Steam the asparagus and put out some balsamic vinegar and olive oil to drizzle on top.
4. Announce that dinner is ready and that people can carve off whatever part of the chicken they prefer.

That was Monday.

Random snack: Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, dried oregano on top of fresh tomatoes

Tuesday, I went running at the park. On the way home, I called Sexy Lawyer Man (who is now officially a lawyer having graduated from law school this weekend) and asked him to start #1 for me.

1. Cut the meat off of yesterday's chicken, grate some colby jack cheese, and chop some tomatoes.
2. Melt butter in a skillet. (1 Tablespoon-ish) Meanwhile, throw some fresh corn cobs into salted water and boil.
3. Warm a flour tortilla in the butter on both sides. Set aside.
4. Warm a second tortilla in the butter, flip, and top with cheese and chicken (and tomatoes if you like).
5. Put the second tortilla on top and flip. Keep switching back and forth on medium heat until cheese is melty. Cut into 4ths.

Serve warm. Put more butter on the corn if you are into that.  I took a picture once I was mostly done eating. It was really good.
