Meal #9 - Lemon Teriyaki Chicken

Put desired amount of frozen chicken breasts in a skillet.  Cover the chicken with teriyaki sauce - amount will vary depending on how many chicken breasts you are cooking.  Add about half the amount of lemon juice into the skillet.  The chicken should be coated with sauce, with a little bit of extra in the bottom.  Cook covered until the chicken appears to be cooked through, turning over a couple of times.  If you leave the lid off, the sauce should carmalize and leave a sticky sauce that goes great with rice.  **WARNING**If you have the heat up too high and leave the lid off too long, the sauce will cook out and the chicken will burn!

Dear H,

When I went to bring you the last meal before leaving - again, K was outside with the kids.  It's my first time meeting him.  You told me it was nice to have him there!  I hope maybe you guys had a chance to talk some things over and figure stuff out so that you can be happy!  Good luck with everything while I'm gone..

Meal #8 - Tacos

This recipe is awesome because it isn't spicy like some taco seasonings can be, and it lasts a lot longer!

  1. Brown 1 lb hamburger meat in a skillet
  2. Drain juice
  3. Add 1 can tomatoe paste
  4. Add 1 can pork and beans
  5. Mix well and enjoy!
This also goes great with deep fried taco shells - just cook in hot oil so that the soft taco forms a taco shape!

Dear H,

I feel like I haven't seen you at all!  Being out of town has been exhausting, but great since it's my last chance for summer vacation.  I just found out I got a job for the 2010-2011 school year!  I'm way excited, but bummed because I won't be able to cook you as many meals as I want once school starts.  Maybe we can make a bunch of meals together on the weekends and freeze them!  That would help both of us out, I think...
