“You should always waste time when you don’t have any. Time is not the boss of you. Rule 408.” — The Doctor “Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.” — John Lennon Did you ever start looking for something online, only to discover you’re missing an hour (or more) with nothing to show for…

Moroccan Chicken With Couscous

Ingredients: Dump, chop, & go: For very little time and effort, you get a delicious, healthy meal of tender chicken, veggies cooked to perfection, and deliciously seasoned couscous!

Madras Shrimp With Rice

​ Madras Shrimp is one of my favorite ways to cook shrimp. So flavorful, and you don’t even have to sauté the shrimp! It turns out to be a pretty easy dish to convert to a freezer meal, too. What a treat, to come home to a quick and easy freezer meal! A note about…
