Cooking Emergency?!


Question: I have the house to myself this weekend (from early Friday morning to late Monday night/early Tuesday), my parents are traveling 400 miles north to visit my sister at college (I am housesitting for them). I can cook quite well (even though I am 16, I have been cooking for years and have entertained and am catering my cousin's wedding this summer), but I'm stumped for recipes. I don't have terribly 'exotic' ingredients, mainly the pantry staples and some chicken, pork, and beef. I don't want to just heat up frozen stuff, that gets too boring. I would like to make stuff myself that tastes good and is relatively easy to do. Any suggestions? What things do YOU like to eat that are simple and tasty?

DO NOT COPY RANDOM RECIPES FROM WEBSITES AND POST THE LINKS HERE. I want real recipes that real people have tried and enjoy. Thanks in advance.

Pork tenderlion roast.

Olive oil,
Rosemary,
Salt and pepper
Garlic

Mix in a bowl and marinate with pork tenderloins
After a couple hours coat the pork with bread crumbs and bake at 350 for around 45 minutes.
Cover with foil for the first 25 minutes
Tasty and tender, yum yum.

ok here is any easy one for you and all you have to do is go to the store and have a 9x13 oven safe dish.

4 chichen breast
1 can of bisquits
cheeder cheese as much as you want
2 cans of cream of mushroom soup

cook the chicken until done, oven 350
pull bisquits in half and cover the bottom of the dish with one half of the bisquits.
place chicken on top of the bisquits
place the other halfs of the bisquits on top of the chicken
cover with the cream of mushroom soup
cook as per the bisquits directions until bisquits are done
remove from the oven and cover with cheedar cheese.

eat until you are full.

Cook a few chicken fingers. Pour some spaghetti sauce over them. Sprinkle parmesean cheese on top and bake (melt cheese) while you cook a few noodles. Put chicken mixture over the pasta and you will have chicken parmesean. Very quick, very easy, and delicious.

Put a couple of whole potatoes in foil in the oven for about an hour. Cut up chicken or pork into small pieces and cook with peppers and onions in olive oil in a skillet. Maybe add some garlic, salt, and pepper. Slit the potatoes across the top when they are done, add butter to them, add the meat, pepper, and onion mixture to the top and them sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. When it melts it will be a delicious stuffed potato. If you are in a hurry you can put the potatoes in the microwave (no foil). Then microwave bacon, crumble on top then add cheese and butter. Salt and pepper to taste.

ok, try this one, my kids love it.
