Breakfast: Overnight Oatmeal. This said to cook it overnight, but I started it in the crockpot before my show-watching time with Seth, so it had a long time to crock. As a result, it was a wee bit over done. Seth trooped onward and ate a bowls-worth, with milk to re-cream it. The children ate a couple bites total, except for Scott, who ate Jules' leftovers and most of Russell's leftovers. Here's the link

It's the same place I got the Oatmeal Packets recipe. It'll be better in the future when I add more liquid and crock it for less time.

Dinner: Restaurant Chicken. This is from the George Foreman Grill Cookbook. It's actually called Pineapple-Honey Chicken Breasts, but it tastes like it could be from a restaurant, especially if you marinate the chicken in the sauce for a few hours. Here's the recipe:

1/4 c. soy sauce
1 t. ginger
1 t. oil
1 clove garlic
2 T. honey
4 chicken breasts
4 pineapple slices

Mix ingredients to form sauce. Marinate chicken if desired. Grill for 3 minutes, spooning sauce over chicken periodically. Top each with a pineapple slice and grill for 3-5 minutes more or until done. Serve with the extra sauce. I usually serve this with rice and then put the extra sauce/chicken juice over the rice.
