In lieu of something interesting


... I'll tell you what I made for dinner. I don't know what other people make for dinner when they don't want to expend a lot of energy but they don't want to order delivery. One thing I make is chicken pot pie, almost. It's easy.

1 can Healthy Request cream of chicken soup
(or cream of anything-you-like)
1 bag HyVee frozen stir fry vegetables
1 can chunked chicken breast
1 cup low fat Bisquick
1 egg
1/2 cup skim milk

Preheat the oven to 425F and thaw the vegetables in the microwave. Spread the soup, chicken, and vegetables in the bottom of a metal pie plate. Add a bit of black pepper if desired.

Mix the Bisquick, milk, and egg. Pour over the vegetables.

Bake for 30-35 min.

It's not too novel. A lot of Bisquick boxes come with a recipe a lot like it printed on the outside or inside of the box. It's easy. It doesn't take too long and it's pretty good for you.

Ok, on interesting thing


We tried the bike again today. Like everything, Linda was much better on her second try. I tied her feet to the pedals with some extra shoestrings, although we both agree that looking for new pedals is probably a good idea.

She ran the bike for about 5-6 minutes. Not a dreadfully long time, but we'll work on that.
