Hi this is me.

Hello. At the urging of a friend, I've decided to join the blogosphere. I have no real experience at this, so please be patient. And forgiving.
I thought I would write a blog aimed at busy dads (and moms) and offer some ideas to save time, impressive recipes, and a little ranting about life in general. If you're like me, you really love your kids. Especially when they are sleeping or at school. Yes, they're a lot of fun, but far too energetic, not to mention afflicted with random hearing loss, usually at whatever decibel level the words "no" or stop" are at.
It still amazes me how a parent can say "stop hitting your brother" at three feet and have the comment be responded to with an assualt on said child's brother.

Anyway, One thing I do enjoy is some cooking. I also like cooking things that taste good. But even better, I like cooking things that taste good, look impressive, but really aren't that much work. I've also decided that for many things (except baking) cookbooks and recipes can be used as inspiration, not hard and fast rules.

One quick favorite is sauteed chicken. I take thin cut chicken breasts. Beat an egg in a bowl and coat the chicken with the egg. Dredge (drag) the chicken over Italian seasoned bread crumbs and coat them completely. Start heating some olive oil in a large non-stick skillet. Once it's hot, reduce to medium heat and put chicken breasts on for about 2 minutes a side, till a little golden brown and cooked through. I like to tip the skillet so the oil accumulates in one spot and really sears the chicken. Serve with steamed broccoli and looks nice.
