From a Box…

Well, everyone does it…I fed the family from a box…I know…I know. It’s a terrible thing. But, it was actually pretty good and low in calories. It was one of those Hamburger Helper ones with everything in it. The Cheesy Taco Rice or something like that. Then I just boiled some corn on the cob and served the rice with sour cream, salsa and shredded cheese.

Quick and easy are my motto’s!

Thanks for having Dinner at The Hampton’s and see you around the table next time!

Salmon, Couscous & Fried Corn

You have seen a similar dinner to this before, I tend to do a lot of repeats, but I try to put a new spin on them. So, here goes…

Salmon

My grocery store didn’t have any fresh salmon when we shopped last, so I had to buy the frozen variety. This is fine they are scaled, skinned, boned and cut to perfect portions, so it does take a lot of the work out. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and place the salmon in the dish. Pre-heat the oven to 350°. Season the salmon with salt, pepper and lemon juice. If you want something different go ahead. I topped my salmon with sweet chili sauce when it came out of the oven. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until it flakes apart easily.

Couscous

This couldn’t be easier. I use the boxed, instant coucous. They have them in a variety of flavors, I made plain-it’s good and my toddler loves it!

Fried Corn

Yeah, this probably sounds a little wierd, but it’s tasty. I had a couple of corn on the cobs left from earlier in the week. So, I cut the corn off the cob and tossed it with a little salt, pepper and chipoltle chili powder and into a skillet with a little hot oil. Fry over medium-high heat until they have a little color.

Well, that’s all for last night. I am considering doing a breakfast dinner tonight, so tune in for that. Until next time, thanks for having Dinner at The Hampton’s and see you around the table next time!
