15 minute meal

Cooking for two people is challenging these days, and eating out -- which used to be my fall back position when I didn't want to cook -- is difficult for a number of reasons.  I've been looking through the frozen food section of the grocery store for ideas, and this is one I've used a few times now.



Mostly I follow package directions, though for the cauliflower rice I saute a little onion in butter in the pan.  Maybe a little olive oil and some salt and pepper, too.  It adds maybe 5 minutes and isn't really necessary.




Any riced cauliflower would do -- I planned to make "fried rice" cauliflower, with soy sauce and eggs mixed in, but all I had in the freezer was the stuffing flavor.  (It tastes nothing like stuffing, but it is tasty with little bits of cranberry in it.)  I found it at WalMart, just in time for the holidays, I guess.  JB is a fan of this meal -- there's a beef and broccoli version that he also likes by PF Chang.  The package says it is supposed to feed two, but we always have enough left over for JB to have it for lunch the next day.

We tried it tonight but forgot about the cauliflower rice. It was good but not enough for the two of us without the "rice." Fried rice sounds great to me for next time.
