Mediterranean chicken

Mediterranean chicken as adopted from a local newscast
Chop onion and place in casserole along w 1 T butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute.
Add 1 can chopped tomatoes, 1/2 t salt, 1/2 t Italian seasoning, 6 olives (cut up). Stir and then add chicken pieces. Bake.

Alternatively, after microwaving the onion, add about 2 c chopped apples and 1/2 c raisins. Then add a whole chicken (cut in half and spread out, skin side up) seasoned with barbecue seasoning.
Bake.

It just dawned on me. ..... Both recipes are akin to "stuffed chicken" recipes. The "stuffing" is placed on the bottom of a casserole. Then the chicken is placed on top.

Creamy Scrambled Eggs

Even though I have a dishwasher, I don't like to get bowls dirty. The trick is to add the eggs last. Here's a way to make scrambled eggs in the skillet:

Melt butter (about 1/2 T) in small skillet over low to medium heat.
If adding chopped green onions and/or Canadian bacon, add now, increasing butter to 1 T. Heat/fry till hot.
Add 1/4 c milk, 1/4 t salt, dash pepper, and then a handful of grated cheese, if desired.
When milk is hot, add 2 eggs.
Scramble.
