What is a good, easy dinner to cook???
i want to cook dinner for me and my gf tonight, but cant decide what. i am not a cook by any means, so it has to be something simple, but not too simple like mac and cheese ha. thanx!
Answers:
Go get a cooked/roasted chicken, mashed taters, and veggies. If you make a pretty table and serve on nice plates w/ real silverware, then you will have made her dinner. Don't lie that you made it. She'll know. If you want to get creative, make a batch of box mix brownies and serve with vanilla ice-cream. That is still a lot of effort and shows her you know what you are doing and you care.
Make spaghetti. Its really easy, just boil the pasta and add the sauce!

Chicken and rice casserole is good, easy and can be customized millions of different way according to preference. Campbell's soup has a great starter recipe on their website. Add a salad and garlic bread and you're good to go.
romane noodles cost like 40 cents just add water and microwave...lol jus kiddin if u want to make something simple yet delicious i suggest you buy tyson or any frozen chicken, dethaw and season as desired and some pasta. when chicken is baking set to 350 degress for 40 minutes put honey and lemon on top and smother it..when pasta is done just drain and add bottled sauce like prego or ragu, makes a delicious meal and can be all done in an hour...yummy now im hungry!
me and my wife are big fans of shake-n-bake chicken it is easy, cheap and tasty. we get thinly sliced, bonless skinless chicken breasts from the store (about $8) we like the spicy flavor shake-n-bake (a few $) then get a can of corn (78￠) a can of cut green beans (78￠) and your choice of rice-a-roni noodles (1$) and make all that up into a yummy dinner. the whole thing takes maybe a half hour and is very filling and good. (make sure you have milk and butter and stuff fo the noodles)
Order take-out and go home and put it in your dishes. Throw the boxes/bags in the dumpster so she doesn't see them in the trash.
Nah, but really the spaghetti answer is the way to go. Just don't overcook the pasta. To me there's nothing worse than soggy spaghetti noodles. Put a decent amount of salt in the water, and it will help flavor the noodles, too.
Brown some hamburger meat, or if she's vegetarian, you can use chicken, and cube it, and then add your sauce to it. I take that back. DRAIN the meat first, then back in the pan and add the sauce. My favorite canned sauces are from Barilla.
Lastly, put the noodles on the plate, and sauce on top. I hate it when people mix the sauce in. It's much better on top.
While the sauce is warming up, put some buttered bread on a baking sheet and warm your oven to 350. Sprinkle garlic, and parsley on top of the bread, and let it bake until it's got a golden toast on it. Only a few minutes.
Good luck!
if you have a grill-grill out hamburgers, quick easy and keeps you our of our kitchen, LOL
Sloppy joe-style BBQ is super quick, super easy and tastes really great:
crumble 1# hamburger & 1 small onion chopped up (I personally use onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon) in a microwave safe bowl and cook on high 3 minutes. Break apart and stir, and microwave for about 2-3 more minutes depending on your microwave until it's all browned.
Drain the grease, and return to bowl. Add a couple big squirts of ketchup, one big squirt of mustard, about 1/3 cup brown sugar and some honey if you have it. Stir it all together and microwave on half power for about 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
Can be done in a skillet on the stove if you prefer. Cook some crescent rolls or biscuits according to directions in the oven for a side dish, along with a frozen veggie or baked beans!!
This is a family favorite at my house, is super easy and doesn't take long!!
Good luck!
Tacos, are really easy and taste great, also if you look in the frozen section of the grocery you can come across premade dinners like Yankee pot roast where all you do is dump the bag into cooking ware add some water and let it cook in the oven super easy and looks like you know how to really cook, also good side to that are the Pillsbury biscuits takes a simple cooking tray lay them out and stick them in the oven. Super easy and only takes a few min. Also if she likes salad you can grab on of the preprepared ones and add a few touches of your own such as peppers or fruit that bring some flavor and color to it. Just make sure you have her fav. dressing there.
Good Luck and when setting the mood don't use to many candles.
you could always make something really easy like grilled chicken with salad and scalloped potatoes or something. It would only take about 30mins make
hot dogs are easy to cook
