1. Here's what you do...

16oz of ice tea sweetened to taste (or alcoholic beverage of choice)
Ice cubes
Lemon wedge if desired
TV remote
Assemble on comfy chair with legs elevated for 2-3 hours at 75 degrees until chilled.
(Tropical variation - mix aforementioned on lawn chair near the pool tented with umbrella at 90-100 degrees.)
Keep hydrated with accompanying beverage.

If the family asks where dinner is, remind them this is the "I Don't Care" special.

3. A slice of bread and water

They will have to come up with their own bread toppings.

4. Here are a couple of recipes that will help you make through the week.

They are both very easy recipes and are in continuous rotation in my kitchen.

All you need to add is a protein source--meat or beans and you have a complete dinner.

Best of luck to you m'dear!

Edit to add: I could eat both of these recipes every single day for the rest of my life without getting tired of them!

5. Yellow rice and chicken is one of my favorites

The amounts are whatever I feel like, but I chop onion and bell pepper (maybe 1/2 cup each), maybe some garlic. Saute with four chicken breasts or thighs in some olive oil until the onions are translucent. Stir in brown rice, cook for a couple of minutes, stir in turmeric, add water or broth,cook until the rice is done. At the end, stir in 16 ounces green peas (one can, drained, or a package of steam in bag, cooked).

Serve with black bean soup (garnish with chopped onions and a splash of apple cider vinegar) and green tossed salad.
