4!. In a rush!? Check out the PRE-COOKED beef tips, roast, pot roast, pork roast, chicken, ham, meatload!. You will find these packages near the meat section, they are not frozen!. Ask a clerk for help in finding them!.
Use this for your meat dish with a side dish or two of vegetables, rice, or potatoes which can all be found in the freezer section or on shelves!.
!.
5!. Desserts of all types can be found in the bakeries, in the freezer sections, or on the shelves!. And don't forget there is always ice cream to depend on!.
!.
6!. Another thing you can do is cook in a slow cooker or a crock-pot!. You put the meat into the crock-pot in the morning and it slowly cooks all day long!. The meal is ready at dinner time!. Crock-pots can be bought at your grocery store, and at department stores!. BE SURE to read the booklet that comes with the crock-pot!.

I use this recipe a lot when I am having people over!. It's really easy, and great for entertaining!.

In a sautee pan I cook up about 1/2 sliced red onion and 2 cloves of garlic in a little olive oil and butter with salt and pepper!. To this I add about 2 c!. broccoli florettes with a little water and more salt and pepper!. Then I add 1/2 c!. white wine and tbsp!. butter and a pinch of red pepper flakes!. Add a box of cooked linguini to this with about 1/2 c!. julienned zucchini and halved grape tomatoes and about 1/4 c!. heavy cream!. Let this simmer down until the pasta is coated with the sauce!. Taste for seasoning!. Top with fresh ripped basil!. Serve with grilled or broiled shrimp that you have skewered and marinated in Italian dressing!.

For a starter try a variety of brushetta!. A few with tampenade, traditional tomatoes, pesto and smoked mozz melted, tuna with olive oil, olives and parsley!.

For a dessert how about a nice strawberry soup with a little creme fraiche!. Nice, light ending to a rich dinner!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'll leave the starters to someone else!.!.!.!.

Main: Salmon fillets(skinned) with little 'coins' of chorizo sausage laid on top, wrapped in foil and cooked in the oven on a medium heat(Gas 6) for 20-25 mins!. Meanwhile, boil some salad potatoes(eg Jersey Royals, a good handful per person) for about 15 mins/untiltender!. Drain and halve them!.
Slice some courgettes and fry in olive oil for 3-4 mins, add lemon zest and a clove or 2 of garlic(crushed) for 1 min(don't let the garlic burn or it will taste bitter)!. Add the juice of a lemon, keep warming for 30 seconds then take off the heat, transfer to a bowl, throw in the potatoes with lots of torn basil leaves, add a few splashes of extra virgin olive oil and serve with the salmon fillets!.

Dessert: This is cheap and dead easy!. Buy some frozen summer fruits(from Tesco) and a pack of powdered cookie dough - all you do to the dough is add about 25g butter and 2-3- tablespons of cold water!. Mix together until it becomes a dough!. Get a deep-filled dish!. throw the frozen summer fruits in and put the dough in blobs over the top and throw in the oven(Gas Mark 6) until the dough has swelled up a little and browned on top!. Serve in bowls with Onken set yoghurt on top!. Pour some of the fruits' juice over the yoghurt!.

Both these dishes are winners and cheap & easy to make!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
