Answer 2

I suggest buying a crock pot and then looking up crock pot recipes online. I do this sometimes and it is so easy. I can prepare it in the morning or even the night before. It cooks all day and doesn't need supervision. Get a crock pot that automatically switches to warm when done cooking. It will stay warm until you get home or you are ready to eat. When it's done you just serve dinner and clean up is easy because you didn't use a lot of pots and pans. I love making pork ribs in mine. Half an hour before it's done add a bottle of barbecue sauce. Make shredded pork sandwiches or just have ribs. I also have an awesome crock pot recipe for Homemade mac and cheese. Just let me know if you want it. I will give you any crock pot recipe I have. I hope this helps. Take care.

Answer 3

Walking tacos are easy. Make tacos but substitute Doritos for the shells. Pizza crescents are really good to. Buy Pillsbury Crescents but before you roll them up to bake add cheese and pepperoni. Chip beef on toast is pretty easy to make. Buy some Argo cornstarch and make the white sauce recipe on the side of the box. Add beef lunch meat, torn into small pieces. Top biscuits or toast with the sauce and enjoy. You can also check out www.campbellkitchen.com for some quick and easy meal ideas. Hope that helps.

Footnote: This also is good with chopped Ham mixed with the Cheese.
Kids love it with Hot Dogs on Top, put them on top the last 15min.

Answer 5

Tuna with chilis and cilantro
Chili dogs

Fancier (but still easy) fare:

Fajitas- cook beef strips or chicken with a little salt and some red pepper flakes; cook onions, bell peppers, and tomato wedges in a saucepan. Put the ingredients together in a tortilla and viola!

French bread pizza- you can use slices for little personal pizzas or use a loaf for a family. Sauce, cheese, and your toppings of choice and you can just broil it for a few minutes.

Broccoli cheese soup- 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and one package of frozen broccoli or a chopped fresh bunch, add seasonings- garlic, onion powder, pepper- cook until broccoli is soft and then add cheese.

Answer 6

pre-made chicken cutlets
hamburgers
pasta and red sauce
rib eye roast , potatoes, carrots (all in one pan) (put in oven as soon as you get home) By the time to get changed, start kids with homework, go through mail, it will be ready.l
Tacos
chicken pieces in the broiler (par boil on the weekend, then you only have to put it in the broiler to make it crispy). Takes 10 minutes. Make a salad and you're ready to go!
Enjoy!
