Quick Dinner Idea

This worked really well for me the other day and I was surprised how quickly and well it all came together.

Menu

Mushroom Cream Chicken

Asparagus

Couscous

Sweat Potato Fries

Mushroom Cream Chicken – Chicken breast – cut in strips - seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Sauté until cooked through, add cream of Chicken soup and water to thin out slightly.

Asparagus – lightly sautéed with garlic powder and olive oil

Couscous – follow package directions, but this only takes 5 mins to prepare (great rice substitute)

Sweet Potato Fries – bought frozen - 20mins in a preheated oven, start this when the chicken goes on and everything is done at once

It’s Colorful & Delicious. Very little prep time, very short cook time – this is my version of fast food ;)

Putamayo Music

I am keenly aware that there are many different cultures around the world and in an effort to embrace other cultures in general and Black cultures in particular me and Baby are listening to a Putamayo Music CD my Mom gave me a while back. Right now African Playground is Baby’s favorite CD. She smiles and claps and dances when ever it plays. Every track is an excuse to dance and for me to act silly - The songs originate from across the content and I hope will be a musical introduction for Baby to explore her ancestry.
