We do a lot of “scratch” cooking but after a busy day it is nice to know we have products in the freezer and fridge to make the dinner process easier. One of these is Taylor Farms salad kits. On Saturday I prepared their Southwest salad. I added some cut up tomatoes to give it more taste and visual appeal.

Meanwhile John was cooking some Foster Farms Takeout Buffalo chicken wings. These wings cook for 20 minutes at 425F followed by 5 minutes at 450F for extra crispyness. They come with a packet of hot sauce and I added a ramekin of blue cheese dressing for a cooling element.

It was certainly not a fancy dinner or very economical but it got the job done and was easier and cheaper than getting actual takeout or going out to dinner.
