I decided to start giving the Pioneer Woman's 16-Minute Meals a try. With our hectic schedule, there are many nights when I'm lucky if I'm even home to have dinner with the family, and even more nights when I leave work at 5, run home quick to change and eat something fast and then out the door again to some place I need to be.
Last night was one of those nights. I volunteered to help at out a program at our school/church and was asked to be there 'around' 6 o'clock. So an hour from the time I left work til I needed to be there with a stop at home to change and eat in between.
I needed something fast and more substantial to eat then PB&J or Leftover Pizza. So I decided to test this recipe out on the family. When I saw it I knew the hubs would love it; he's a big fan of Chicken Fried Steak. If its on the menu anywhere we go, I can safely bet that's what he's going to order. So when I did my grocery shopping last week, round steak was on my list.

I paired it up with Knorr's Fettuccine Alfredo Pasta:
And a side of steamed fresh green beans. The kids even liked it...despite the 'yucky green noodles". :) Probably not the 'healthiest' meal, but it sure was good! Next time I might kick it down a notch with the pepper...the kiddos did complain that it 'burned' their mouths a bit...but nothing a big glass of milk couldn't fix. All in all, the meal was a hit! And I walked out of the house at 5:58 P.M.
