Re: Dinner.
I know I am a bit late with this but I have found some great recipes on the food network that are simple, healthy and really good (I am a complete food network junkie). A few that are my fav's that I make often are:
Baked Shrimp with tomatoes and feta- http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ellie-krieger/baked-shrimp-with-tomatoes-and-feta-recipe/index.html
4 minute spicy shrimp. I add an onion and red pepper to this one and we make shrimp fajitas. I also take the tails off the shrimp- http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/4-minute-spicy-garlic-shrimp-recipe/index.html
This chicken cacciatore recipe is fabulous and pretty healthy- http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ellie-krieger/chicken-cacciatore-recipe/index.html
This is the best chicken dish I have ever made. It's like chicken marsala but so much better. Not healthy at all but excellant for one of those days you just don't care. I make it with roasted potatoes not pasta- http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/chicken-with-mustard-mascarpone-marsala-sauce-recipe/index.html

my fav meal which is good and pretty easy is lemon tarragon chicken. I will try to find the real recipe but here is what I do. It is my fail safe meal I make for people when a baby is born and if I have unexpected company. The kids I nanny for make me cook it every week.
1. Heat olive oil in a pan
2. Dredge bite sized pieces of chicken in flour and fry in oil until golden. Set chicken aside and turn heat down on the oil.
3. Add 2 tbs of butter to the oil
4. When the butter is melted add 1 c water, 1 chicken boulion cube, 1-2 tbs of tarragon and 1/8 c of lemon juice. Simmer until reduced so that when you drag a spoon across the bottom of the pan the sauce is slow to fill in the space but still is runny
5. Add the chicken back in and simmer for a few min. to combine tastes
6. Serve over rice
Yum!
