What to make for supper tonight?
Most of the time, I make dinner homemade, but sometimes, there’s just not enough time, so I head for the easy stuff. When I go for a simple dinner, I usually buy the Hormel brand refrigerated entree from Wal-Mart and pair it with side dishes and some canned biscuits. I like to buy the pork kind, and pair it with white minute rice, and a veggie like green beans or carrots. The entree is not too expensive, and should have enough for two, and all you have to do is put it in the microwave and it tastes like it took all day. You’d have dinner on the table in no time, and not a lot of clean up either. Enjoy your meal tonight!
