Country-style pork ribs in mushroom-onion gravy, sauteed green beans with garlic and red pepper flakes, rice pilaf
This barely qualifies as cooking in my book. I browned the pork in a skillet, sweated down some onions, and dumped in two cans of mushroom gravy, then put it in the oven for half an hour to finish. Microwave green beans until barely tender, then sautee in olive oil with some sliced garlic and toss with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Rice pilaf mix from a box. Less than an hour, but a nice, warm, comforting meal on a winter evening.
