Quick Meal Idea

haha that's great, Andrea! Good to know about the Thyme!!

The other night Matt called and didn't know what to eat for dinner. He was contemplating picking something up, but I excited suggested he try to cook something! Not too enthused by the idea, he said he would think about it as I ran an errand with my mom. I went to the storage unit with my mom and contemplated something he could make that would be simple and minimal work. When I called him back 30 minutes later after returning home, I gave him this suggestion for dinner:

slightly thaw the frozen chicken in the freezer and cut it into strips (it's easier to cut with it still slightly frozen!) Saute it on the stove with a little olive oil until cooked through.

Matt loves cooked veggies so I suggested he go to the store and pick up some veggies to then add to the pan after removing the chicken, and saute with a little butter and garlic. Mix the chicken back in, season with a little salt and pepper, and you have a homemade stirfry that takes very little time or effort!

I thought it was a great idea. He briefly entertained the thought (to humor me, I'm sure), but ended up going to Chipotle. Oh well. But at least I thought this would be a perfect "Quick Meal" suggestion for us girls as we are trying to survive the early stages of the Domestic Chapter!

Thanks for the quick meal post! I've been trying to think about some easy meals to make for the next couple weeks before my housemates and I get into the "cooking rotation", but I didn't want to do anything big. This stir fry meal is great--and will save me from eating mac & cheese for the next week :)
