Easy Herb Breads for Dinner

Quick breads are easy to make and wonderful served with soups or stews,
especially on cold winter evenings. Today I have a few simple recipes to
keep in mind when you need a quick bread for dinner.

Herb Rolls

Ingredients:
2 tubes butter flake rolls
1/4 cup butter
2 tbsp. dried parsley
1/4 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
2 tbsp. dried minced onion

Line a greased loaf pan end to end with two rows of dough. Peel apart
slightly. Bring the butter with herbs to a very low boil while stirring.
Pour over the bread. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes. ( Read more... )

4 chicken breasts, or do 6 for 6 people
Orange ; organic-the skin has a lot less pesticides in
One garlic clove
One tablespoon fresh basil
Black pepper to taste
Grate the orange skin using a grater and juice the remaining orange. Add, garlic, chopped basil and pepper. using a sharp knife make cuts in the chicken breasts, then lay them on a baking tray. Pour the orange mixture onto them, rubbing into the cuts as well. Leave to marinade for 10 mins, then grill the meat. serve, if you have left over sauce, add it or leave as a sauce for something else.

Salmon x2 brought defrosted slices [for the amount of people cooking for, in this I’m doing it for 2 people, so double up depending on if you need more]
Artichoke hearts in oil x1 can
Pick a herb~ basil, oregano, thyme, marjoram, etc. handful of one of these.
Olives, one can
Seasoning-pepper and salt
Lemon juice
Sliced, diced and chopped vegetables of your choice- aubergine, coloured peppers etc.
Get a tray that you’ll be cooking these in, add the fish a good length apart [so the other things can cook around them].
Open the cans of the list above. Chop the herb of your choice and add this to a small bowl with the juice of one lemon and the seasoning, mix with a fork and add this over the fish. Place the veg around the salmon slices, and add the artichoke hearts as well-this comes in it’s own oil and will be sufficient to be oily for the whole dish, plus the fish contains oils too. Add the drained olives as well.
Cook on an average temp- around 180 degrees C, for about 30mins-1 hour check occasionally to see when the fish has coloured a light golden brown.
