Okay, love this thread because I'm right in the same boat! Hate to cook!!

I have a super easy potato and pork chop meal, but I need to go and check the oven temp on the recipe, so I'll get back with it.....

First of all, you don't HAVE to cook EVERY night just 'cuz he's home at dinner time. Make a deal with him that he's in charge of dinner at least 1 night a week.

Secondly, if you hate to cook every night, make a large meal 1 night and heat the leftovers for the next night. We do that all the time.

Thirdly, get a crockpot. Throw in a roast and a bunch of veggies the night before. Plug it in when you get up in the morning and go on with your day. There are some great crock pot/one pot meal cookbooks out there.

I love to cook, but if I knew I had to do it EVERY day, I'd start to hate it too.

Cream Cheese Chicken

1.2lbs boneless skinless chicken tenderloins
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 cup salsa
3 oz light cream cheese


Place chicen tenders, salsa, and taco seasoning in 3 quart slow cooker. Cook on low 5-7 hours. One hour before serving add the cream cheese. To serve, shred the chicken and serve it on toritllas.

Depending on the salsa you use you may need to thicken it by dissolving some corn starch in water and then mixing it in, but I've never had to.

I have been making this recipe forever! It's so easy! I place 4 frozen chicken breasts in a crockpot. Pour one large can of hot salsa over top and cook on high, 4 to 5 hours. For the last half hour of cooking, add chopped green onion, chopped mushrooms, black olives and a little cream cheese. I usually spice it up more as well, adding parsley, cumin, a little chili powder, whatever I have on hand.

It's the easiest thing to make and it's so great. Serve it over rice with a side salad.

Thirdly, get a crockpot.......... I love to cook, but if I knew I had to do it EVERY day, I'd start to hate it too.

I agree. The crockpot is my best friend. We always do large batch cooking on the weekend, and then use leftovers during the week. I make spagetti sauce, BBQ meats, soups during the weekend. Then freeze individual portions to alternate during the week.

I would never have time to cook full meals every night during the week!
