Answer 2

I like buying the canned Alfredo sauce and adding freshly grated Parmesan cheese to it.
Just boil some pasta (try fun shapes like bow tie, or multicolored), and heat the sauce on the stove.
When the sauce is hot add a small bit of the Parmesan and mix well, taste, and add more if you like.
Then strain the pasta, serve onto plates, and pour the sauce on top.
It looks fancy, tastes great, and it's really easy.
Also, buy some French bread, butter, sprinkle with garlic salt, bake and serve that too. (they also make some with the butter and garlic already on it)

I recommend this recipe for now and forever as a keeper in the recipe book. It is a simple one pie dish and I dont know what it is about it but my father and my boyfriend just devour it whole.

"Pizza Rustica" from Kraftfoods.com. It is easy to whip together and it is a great main dish either alone or with fruits and veggies on the side.

The key is to follow the recipe, but add one frozen package of spinach (with cream sauce). I also prefer using sweet turkey sausage instead of regular sausage. (link to recipe below)

Another easy and healthy meal is stir-fry. Just keep a habit of having a bag of mixed frozen veggies (many dont have onions) available and some rice, and then you can just use whatever meat you have on hand. Our favorite is to add peanut butter and un-salted nuts to the mixture for a thai peanut version.

Happy cooking!

Answer 5

Easy enchiladas
buy 2 large cans of enchilada sauce green or red, green is less dry and yummy
you will need corn tortillas
potatoes, chicken or cheese for filling

Process:
cook enchilada sauce in a sauce pan on med heat (make sure to stir) turn off heat once you see sauce boiling
cook tortillas
then you can dip tortillas 1 by one into sauce careful you might want to use prongs for this.(make sure you cover whole tortilla in sauce)
put the tortillas right on the serving plate fill with cheese, chicken or potatoes and roll up ( I sometimes throw them in the microwave if they need extra heating)
then add some extra sauce and cheese on top and serve with sour cream and a salad. They are quick easy and delicious, not the traditional way of making them but definitely, way easier than my grandmas!:) good luck and have fun!

get grated motzerrella, parmesan and cheddar cheese, or buy whole and grate your self, this is best, enough for three layers.

when all is done in a sprayed w/ pam, medium glass pyrex rectangle dish layer as follows

sauce, just enough to lightly cover the botom of the dish
