Seasoned Red Potatoes

What you need:
Red Potatoes
Olive oil (or vegetable oil works too)
Your Choice of seasoning (I think fresh rosemary is the best, but italian seasoning or basil also work really well)

What you do:
Slice potatoes into thin slices. cover the bottom layer of your pan with a good thick layer of oil and bring to a low simmer. Put potato slices in the oil and sprinkle with your seasoning. Let cook stirring occasionally until your potato slices are as soft as you like them.

Cheese Ravioli

Here's my favorite way to make cheese Ravioli.
What you need:
1 bag of cheese ravioli
1 jar of Parmesan Garlic sauce (or whatever pasta sauce you like)
1 can of diced olives
1 can of sliced mushrooms

What you do:
cook ravioli according to the directions on the package. Add in sauce (you probably won't need the whole jar depending on how much sauce you want for how much ravioli you have), olives, and mushrooms to drained pasta in a pot. Stir all together and let simmer on stove until everything is heated through stirring occasionally. Enjoy :)

Fish with Rice

Fish with Rice is a really fast, easy, and yummy dinner to make. It ususally takes me about 20 min total from time I think about making it till time I'm eating it.

What you'll need:
As much Fish as you want (I usually use salmon or tilapia)
1 box of flavored Rice (whatever flavor you want, i use chicken flavored)

What your options are:
garlic salt (you can also use garlic powder)
lemon pepper
sometimes for the salmon i'll use brown sugar, sounds weird, but it's tasty
basil
italian seasoning
butter
lemon juice
whatever else you want to season with

This is also good with steamed broccoli...

Directions:
You'll want to start by defrosting your fish if you're using frozen fish. Then you'll want to set the oven to broil or the highest temperature setting and letting it preheat. While you're waiting for the oven to preheat go ahead and start your rice.

I usually just get one of those flavored rice boxes you find at the grocery store. I like chicken flavored rice cuz that's what my mom always made with fish. Just follow the directions on the box for how to make it.

While you're waiting on the rice you can start getting your pan and the fish ready. I usually use a broiler pan, but a cookie sheet, or a metal pie tin have also worked. Cover your pan in aluminum foil. This is a really easy step that makes for a really easy clean up. Put your fish on the pan and get out your seasonings. Season each side of your fish with the garlic salt, and the lemon pepper (or whatever seasonings you're using.)

Once the oven is preheated you can stick your fish in there on the top shelf for about 3 min. Then take it out and flip it over. Stick it back in for about another 3 min. At this point you'll want to check that your fish is cooked all the way though. If not put it in for a bit longer until it's done.

You can also serve this with some lemon butter over it. To make lemon butter just melt some butter with lemon juice in your microwave. You can decide how much butter to lemon ration you want.

Serve fish and rice together putting lemon butter on as you wish and ENJOY.
