My mom is making me make dinner and she needs the grocery list by tomorrow. What should I make?

Answer 1

You should make something that excites you...hamburger, tacos, pizza, etc. Have fun cooking while listening to your favorite music....dance a little....set the table....cooking is fun! How about hamburger patties, salad, baked potato with sour cream and butter, and good french bread. You could put some BBQ sauce on the pattys to spice it up a bit.

Answer 2

make baked spaghetti

8 ounces Spaghetti or Linguine, uncooked
1 large Onion; chopped
1 clove Garlic - peeled and quartered
1 pound Lean ground beef
14 ounces Canned tomatoes; undrained
10 ounces Low-sodium tomato sauce
1 1/2 cup Water; divided
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
3/4 cup Grated Cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese
Directions:

In a large frying pan, cook onion, garlic and ground beef over medium heat until beef is browned; drain. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, one cup of water, Italian seasoning and salt. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

While meat mixture is simmering, break spaghetti strands into three parts. Place in an oven-proof casserole dish. Add another half cup of water and mix. Add meat mixture and combine all ingredients. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes. Uncover casserole and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Answer 3

Meatloaf or Spaghetti are pretty easy to make. Chicken Cacciatore is good.

Also, don't forget the side servings. Something to make a salad; or a bag of frozen green beans or corn that you can easily cook in boiling water. And a loaf of Italian or French bread.

Answer 4

Yeah, my vote is pasta. Get some Ronzoni spaghetti and a bottle of Ragu. Boil, cook, drain the pasta and microwave the sauce. My wife cooks like this at least once a week - fast and easy.

Oh, and get a loaf of itallian bread with some butter, and some romano to shake on the spaghetti.

Answer 5

Chicken Kiev

Take chicken breasts, pound them until they're about 1/4" thick. In the center of each breast place 1/4 cube of better (cut lengthwise), some chopped green onions, ground white pepper, and tarragon.

Wrap this up like a burrito. Use toothpicks to keep it closed.

Dip in flour, then dip in eggwash, then dip in flour with salt and pepper.

Deep fry them.

Yum!
