My favorite cooking methods by far involve the oven. I find it to be more forgiving, and I also like popping a dish in the oven and doing clean-up while it cooks. Then I get a ready meal and a clean kitchen (almost) at the same time.
But now that it's hot, I'm trying to avoid the oven, and that leaves me strapped for dinner ideas. I have to say goodbye to lasagna, pizza, and other favorite dishes until fall comes around. I might make an exception for desserts.
Here are the conditions:
-no soups or stews* (my husband likes soup for lunch only and doesn't like stew)
-must be doable without the help of the oven
-limited to chicken/pork dishes
-sandwiches don't count either, must be hot meals
I guess that leaves me with dishes like:
-spaghetti bolognese/spaghetti and meatballs
-pan-fried pork or chicken pieces
-stir-fries
-taco-type dishes
-....?
*stewed meat can be used later in other dishes, though
Help me out here!
