We usually try to prepare 2 meals on Sunday - meals with enough leftovers so that from Monday-Friday, we just need to reheat. This past week's challenge was to figure out 2 meals that were quick and easy to prepare Sunday morning since we had plans for Sunday evening.
Our first choice: the Orzo, Crab, Artichoke, Sun-Dried Tomato Salad that we really enjoy and make every 3-4 months. It's easy to cook the orzo while reading the Sunday paper, and the orzo is the only part that requires 'cooking.' Blending the dressing ingredients is quick & easy. Chopping jarred artichokes & sun-dried tomatoes is quick & easy. We usually get 3 dinners out of this meal.

On Monday, I put the ham in the oven around 5:30; it was done around 6:55. I brushed glaze on it every 15 minutes until the glaze was used up.
While the ham baked, I washed and trimmed the ends off green beans and put them in a casserole dish to await cooking in the microwave. The biscuits were a 'cheat' - we used Pillsbury frozen biscuits. I put them in the oven around 6:30 since normally they take about 20 minutes at 375. I also took the butter out ahead of time so it would soften and be easy to spread on the biscuits.
