Preheat oven to 425 F. Chop up your veggies into quarters and 2" chunks. Toss them in a bowl and coat lightly with olive oil. Add some thyme, garlic, salt and pepper.

Answer 3

Spaghetti - it is too easy, and so cheap.

Get a can of sauce $.99 house brand, noodles - $.89, a bag of salad around $2.50, a loaf of French bread - $2.

Heat the sauce, cook the noodles, slice the bread, open the bag salad into a bowl. Your done.

Don't forget salad dressing of some sort. And if you really want to get fancy, get a jar of olives and throw a bunch onto the bag salad.

A bottle of wine and a candle and you are set for the night.
