I'm having family over for dinner tomorrow night. What can I serve that many people that's fairly quick & easy. I can't get to the store until like 4:00 & they're coming at 5:00 & can't stay too awful long.

Get three boxes of the hamburger helper Fettuccine with sauce. Add 3 lbs peeled shrimp. Serve with dinner rolls, Itallian bread, or toasted french bread and a veggie.

Rice and Chili Burritos-- These are delish! You may want to double the recipe, but I'm not quite sure it might be enough for 11 people! These take 20 minutes tops! 1 (15 ounce) can chili with beans 1/2 cup instant rice or brown rice 1 cup water 1/2 cup shredded cheese 3/4 cup salsa (optional) 10 tortillas (about) -Heat chili in saucepan. Once heated, add uncooked rice and water. Stir together and let simmer over medium heat about 10-15 minutes until rice is cooked. Don't forget to stir! Once cooked throughout, turn heat down. Place about 1/3 cup mixture on tortilla and top with 1-2 tablespoons shredded cheese and a few tablespoons salsa and roll up. Once all burritos have been made, zap in microwave for 30-60 seconds to melt cheese and reheat. Taco Soup-- Easiest soup you will ever make, very good too! Leftovers are wonderful (if it makes it past the first meal!) 1 lb ground beef 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can corn 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can peas 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can kidney beans 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste 1/2 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix or chili seasoning mix 2 chicken bouillon cubes 14 1/2 ounces water -Using a big stove top pot, brown ground beef first and drain off extra fat. Add all ingredients to the beef and let simmer on medium about 15 minutes or until hot.

If your dead set against spaghetti (which is the quickest and easiest meal to cook), then how about.......................
they have the large family size frozen stouffer's meals in the freezer section of the grocery. Get 2 of those and some rolls or garlic bread. Serve with a salad and maybe macaroni or mashed potatoes. Just be sure and hide the stouffers box and transfer the food into your cooking dishes to serve in. Good luck!!

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMHsG
The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

I love to find recipes that:
1. Make a lot;
2. Are easy to prepare; and,
3. Are fairly healthy.
So, I'm including a link to a list of recipes that fit into those three categories. Hope it helps! Even if you don't use the recipes, it might give you an idea.
