  Roasted pork tenderloin wrapped with pancetta and butternut squash sage gnocchi on the side. I love having extra time to cook now that the wedding is over My go-to weeknight dinner is breaded chicken with pesto with a side of arugula with lemon garlic dressing. Takes about 20 mins from fridge to plate and DH loves it.

  </div><div>I made something very similar. I cubed the chicken and sautdé it. I cooked the 4 cups of rice separate. steamed some fresh broccoli. Then when the chicken was done I used 1 can of cream of chicken soup and 1 can of cream of mushroom soup with 2 cans of water and cooked the chicken in the soup until it boiled then served the chicken and "gravy" over the rice with broccoli on the side. DH puts cheese on his broccoli. It was delish</div>

  We made a pork and apple pie last night in honor of Halloween (I think apples=Fall=Halloween was the thought process there).  It was more time-consuming than I'd usually put up with, but it made a ton and was amazing.

  Last night I made stuffed green peppers...
  
  This makes 2 peppers:
  Brown 1/2 lb ground beef (you can use red beans if you don't eat meat)
  Cook 1 cup rice
  Combine beef (or beans) and rice in a skillet, and pour in ~2 cups salsa. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
  In the meantime, cut the tops off the green peppers and get the seeds out. Boil them for about 5-10 minutes, so they are just soft enough to be pierced with a fork.
  Put peppers in a glass loaf pan, and spoon in the rice mixture filling. Sprinkle cheese over the top.
  Bake for 10 minutes at 350.
  
  Sometimes I add chopped onions and/or jalepenos for a little extra kick.
  
  Very easy, healthy, and delicious!
