Simple Summer Suppers, Part 3 of 10 (Is this even cooking?)

First off, I've set an timeline for this series. One weekly through the end of August. If I don't make it, hey - it'll feel like Summer here in Florida till at least October!

Tonight's menu was so simple I'm not sure I can even call it cooking. But you know what? It was delicious, and it was ~90% fresh ingredients. Gotta love that!

• Caesar chicken
• Last night, I took 2 chicken breasts and put them in Glad-ware, then covered them in Publix Lite Caesar dressing.
• When I got home (much later than usual) tonight, I pre-heated the oven to 350 degrees.
• I tossed the chicken breasts into a shallow baking pan, popped them in the oven for about 25 minutes.
• The hubben raved: "I love this lemon glaze you put on the chicken." Maybe I wouldn't have told, but I planned to post about it anyway!

• Sweet corn & orange pepper
• I had 2 left over ears of corn that we'd grilled Sunday night. I sliced the corn off the cobs.
• I  had 1/3 an orange pepper leftover from grilled veggie combo on Sunday night. I'd already diced this up.
• I combined these in a Glad-ware and microwaved for ~3 minutes.
• Yes, I said MICROWAVED, and I didn't use any butter or salt or ANYTHING!

• Mom's "Ratatouille"
• Of course, the simplest cooking is the cooking someone else  does.
• Yesterday, my mom sent home a yummy dish she makes in the summers. It's close enough to ratatouille, so I'll call it that.
• She chops up mostly eggplant, some bell peppers, some onions, some tomatoes. She tops it all with mozzarella & parmesan, and she bakes it. I don't know the temp or time. Sorry!
• All I had to do was microwave it tonight!

The little one sat & played happily while mommy "cooked" and did some dishes. Then she refused to eat anything but the chicken. Oh, and about 6 strawberries! :)
