Reply #2: I most always shoot for something quick and easy

[Rabrrrrrr]

So I'll pan fry a steak or a chicken breast or some slab of meat of some kind, and then make a sauce from the pan with chicken or beef or mushroom broth, garlic, shallots, etc., and then toss whatever veggies I'm thinking of eating into the sauce (like asparagus, broccoli, etc.) which will cook the veggies. If I want mushrooms with it, I'll saute them separately while pan frying.

Or if I'm in a pasta mood, I make the pasta, then make a cream sauce and throw in some julienned zucchini and other veggies and shrimp or whatever.

Serve with salad, and voila, a meal!
