adding plus butter, onions & a lil water, wrap everything in the foil tightly and bake it on a pan for an hour at 400. Everything is steamed perfectly. One of my fave easy meals. Adding pam spray on the foil before starting helps the rice not sticking.

to fix small dishes, that and the microwave get used the most ;o) I'm surprised how little I use my big gas oven. Also use my little slow cooker for just about all my beef and pork.

Middle of the day, I don't have the attention span to make anything of grandeur. Whole grain bread, mayo, turkey, provolone, pepperoncinis, lettuce. Fast and easy and not too horribly bad for me.
I have some rice that I need to finish in the fridge I might throw it in with a nice big salad, add some black beans and make a nice Taco something. It's too damn hot to do anything else. I look forward to fall and being able to get fun with cooking again!
