Ten fast meals that are better than pizza

1.  Buy a rotisserie chicken and stuff from the grocery salad bar.

2.  Corned beef hash from a can, with mandarin oranges.

3.  Kraft mac-n-cheese, with peas (because mom always serves them with peas).

4.  Scrambled eggs with rye bread toast and orange juice (because mom pretends that counts as fruit).


5.  Tuna melts and a promise that you'll microwave a vegetable later.

6.  A pound of ground beef, browned in a dutch oven, with a jar of spaghetti sauce, plus any kind of pasta you cook while you're browning the other stuff.

7.  A pound of ground beef, browned in a dutch oven, with a can of mushroom soup and a half can of milk mixed in at the end, plus white rice you cook while you're browning the other stuff, plus green beans you microwave at the same time.

8.  A Healthy Choice dinner you pull out of the freezer and microwave, while congratulating yourself that it isn't a a burger and fries from McDonalds.

9.  Lee's fried chicken plus a frozen vegetable or a cut-up red pepper.

10.  Any kind of cheese, grated on any kind of bread, stuck under a broiler until some of the cheese is brown, cut in one inch strips, with an apple.
