You may want to double or triple these recipes to make enough (I've fed about 5 people with these)

make a baked chicken with potatoes, carrots, and onions!. Then put frozen corn in a pot and cover it with water!. Turn your stove on the lowest setting it has for the corn!. You could always make rolls on the side and have those done to where all you do is reheat them!. You could also have dessert done!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
