Anyone have any ideas for fast, easy diiners? WE are moving this week-end and I don't want to use fast food.

Question

I am also trying to lose weight and also don't want a big mess to clean-up.

Answer 1

Over the next couple days, just cook ahead for the event. Make more of what you are serving anyway, and freeze part of it in tupperware or zipper bags, and toss in the freezer. Then you just reheat the items. You might also want to make a large cut of meat like a roast or a ham, portion out to serve it different ways. Do as much of the prep work as you can ahead of time, without going nuts, such as grinding up ham for ham salad...add the mayo at the last minute...and freeze it.

This really goes well with any diet.

Also have a nice variety of healthy finger foods. Raw fresh fruits and veggies, nuts, bottled waters.

Many supermarkets have those pre-cooked rotisserie chickens for around five bucks. I always get those and make a quick side dish like rolls and canned corn. I also use the leftovers for chicken sandwiches the next day.

Also banquet makes these really yummy crock pot meals, or just throw anything in the crock pot. A roast would be really simple and if you put in potato, carrot, onion, your whole meal will be done.

You could also try those frozen lasagnas. Stoffers makes a good one. They are big enough to feed everyone, and very simple. ooo and don't forget about frozen pizza. Have you ever had California Kitchen Pizza? The chicken bbq, and thai ones are really good.
