It depends on how much time you have and how much work you want to do!.
If you're working, you can get a roast chicken from the store and add a nice salad, roasted asparagus and some bread/butter!.
I made a great stroganoff by throwing chopped tenderloin or beef in the crock pot!. I threw in what I had, onions, garlic, potatoes or carrots and one packet of stroganoff mix from the grocery store!. I let that simmer on slow for 8 hours or high for 3-4 hours!. Add 16 oz!. of sour cream and stir!.
I added the stroganoff to cooked egg noodles and accompany it with whatever veg you have available!. Yummm!
You can pick a theme and add to it!. Italian, a nice salad with olives, tomatoes, Italian sausages, salami, etc!. Saute green beans in Italian dressing or a platter of sliced tomatoes fanned with slices of mozzarella cheese (the unprocessed ones shaped in balls) alternating slices of cheese and tomatoes!.
The main dish can be a premade or frozen lasagne!. Add some crusty bread and butter or cheese and your good to go!.
Let dessert be something easy like a cheese cake, pie or ice cream and add your own fruity toppings!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
