thirty minute meal?

When I was home over Christmas, I bought one of Rachel Ray’s 30-minute meal cookbooks. I’ve made a few different recipes from the book over the past several months, and, for the most part, have enjoyed the new meals.

Last night I attempted a new recipe. I picked it because #1 – I can get almost all the ingredients here, and #2 – I liked the name of it: “My Sister Rita’s Lazy Chicken or My Lazy Sister Rita’s Chicken.

It turned out great. Niel and I really enjoyed it and I think it is a meal I’ll make again. However, the name is a bit misleading. As is the fact that it’s in a 30-minute meal cookbook. It took me over an hour, from start to finish. I’m wondering what’s so “lazy” about it?!

I wish I could see Rachel Ray make it. I want proof that it can be done in only 30 minutes!

    I’ve always wondered if her 30-min recipes would really be that easy… I’m glad it turned out yummy… mind to email me the recipe?? When I’m home- one of my big projects is to organize all my recipies and find new ones… I’m tired of Swiss Chicken :)

    PS- love it that our brains were on the same blogging page!

    It’s all in the chop-chop!!!!!! You need a hand quicker than the eye! You can make it when your here next time! Be happy to turn the kitchen over to anytime.
