Dinner for Two; Need Suggestions

Please.....no cheese whiz on crackers...

If you have a meat market close by..
you can always go get 2 pieces of chicken that have been marinading in one of their sauces.

Take that home, put it in some tin foil and bake it.

Mix green salad and some garlic bread .

its cheeze whiz on tofu ..............

I'm chomping at the bit for Copper River salmon season which is just around the corner.

What part of the country do you live in?

Shewolf,

That sounds like a good idea! Thanks!

Boom, I live in the Northeast.

Oh how sad. :wink:

You can forget about getting fresh Copper River salmon then.

Okay..... let me think.....

S'alright...

What do you like to eat?

Pretty much anything, JB! :wink:

Other than poultry and seafood, I prefer lean meat ... I don't usually eat pork.

Pasta would be good. Something like a lasagna, a nice green salad, bread and wine.

You don't have to go through all that fuss, Stray Cat, I'll bring something with me. Chinese ok?

See you this weekend.

If it were me, I'd make something elegant and easy.

Like...reservations. :wink:

This recipe takes minimal preparation; minimal skill; and minimal time. It's easy and it tastes good.

Easy & Tasty Pizza Casserole (similar to Lasagna):

Cook 10 oz. extra wide egg noodles, drain, and mix with 1 can of cheddar cheese soup & 1/4 cup milk;

Spread cheesy noodles on bottom of 9 X 12 cake pan;

Fry 1 pound extra lean ground beef until thoroughly cooked and mix with 14 oz. can (or jar) of pizza sause;

Spread meat and sause mixture over cheesy noodles; and Sprinkle an abundant amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Loosely cover cake pan with tin foil and bake for 20 - 30 minutes at 300 degrees.

Serve with slices of toasted garlic bread.

How many slices, Debra?

Thanks for all the great ideas, everybody! I always seem to draw a blank when I have to think of something to make that's not going to require a lot of kitchen time.

Gus, Chinese would great! Don't forget the fortune cookies!

Let's think this thing through. Hmmmm. Buy a loaf of french bread. How long is a loaf? Maybe 18 inches long, on the average?

Slice the loaf in half. Butter and season. Pop in the oven and toast.

Then, make your slices about 2 inches thick. That should give you 18 slices (9 slices from each half of the loaf)--far more than what two people can eat.

What should one do with the left over slices? Perhaps freeze and use later. How so, you ask? You can spread a meat/pizza sause mixture on top of the leftover and frozen garlic bread slices, top with mozzarella cheese, pop in the oven, and bake. In a few minutes, you will have pizza treats to snack on.

Ok, thanks, Debra.

You're welcome, Gus.
