The 13 minute dinner.
I went to Publix and they had stuffed potato skins in the prepared food case.  Four in a package but two is a decent serving size. They give instructions for both oven and air fryer.

Two pieces of the Just Barely chicken breasts takes 13 minutes in the air fryer.  When the timer got down to 6 minutes, I added the potato skins.  While that was going on, I made a salad.

Not gourmet fare, but decent, easy and fast.   I'm thinking of staring a new TV series and I'll pitch my idea to Food Network.  I'll call it: Easy Meals for Lazy Old People.

Love the name, Ed. :)

I was inspired after talking to my friend in PA last Friday.  She is an excellent cook and has made many great dinners over the years.  We were chatting and she mentioned for dinner she had a bowl of cereal. Coincidentally, that same evening I had crackers and cheese.
Most times when I cook a real meal, I make enough for a couple of nights.  I try to break it up every other night.  I sometimes buy a package of green beans that you nuke for 5 minutes. Easily enough for a few portions.  One portion though, is cut up into small pieces and added to salad.  To dress it up a bit more, I'll cut some grapes in haf and add them too.
