Sometinmes if I want a little variety I add a can of salmon or tuna, so it becomes sort of a fish stew, which is really a lot more appetizing than it sounds...especially if I add chili powder and/or a couple of hot peppers. Still working on the vegetables thing...other than tomatoes, I pretty much hate 'em!

For that reason alone, I don't eat nearly as much fish as I should. I do have some fish oil pills that I bought awhile ago and try to take a couple a day spaced out. I've always grown up with canned vegetables, so frozen just taste weird to me, even though I know they are better. We need to plan our weekends better to make meals in bulk.

As well, I always have frozen vegetables available for dinner and keep frozen or fresh fruits on hand to eat with dinner. What about buying Gorton's grilled frozen fish (takes about 4 minutes per fillet in the microwave)? We have fish a lot because it's fast and healthy....just a few suggestions :-) I try to make meals on the weekends and freeze them for weekday meals.

It actually stays moister than if you thaw it. That's what I've been living on lately. Take a frozen, boneless, skinless chicken breast, and just throw it in the oven at 365-ish for about 30 minutes-ish. As long as the inside temp is about 150 degrees, you're good to go. You can season it after the fact (I put some Frank's Red Hot, which tastes like buffalo wings, and a dash of ranch dressing, it's FANTASTIC!) Do you ever just cook the chicken from a frozen state?

I like to cook and I like to eat good food, so even when we don't have plans for something we can usually come up with something that tastes good and is worth eating. We also make enough that there are always leftovers so that we can have them available for later meals or for lunches and such. The worst part of your schedule (which is similar to ours) is that dinner winds up being so late!
