not to mention its cheap too. Throw in a few meatballs from frozen section helps. A buck or less for spaghetti, a buck for can of sauce. a bag of meatballs for 10 bucks and last about 5-8 meals depending on how many you eat. Lets see about 3 bucks a meals and you are full. I usually take the sauce leftovers and freeze it in a plastic container. After each spaghetti meal - I save leftover sauce and pour in same container until I have enough for one meal. You cant get any cheaper/healthier then this for a family of 4-5.

I agree with this (I'm Italian I have to), but she might not like Italian food. It's an option...

I like the sauce in a jar better, the stuff in the can taste too tinny to me. I uses to made my own sauce when I cooked for my friends . Home made sauce is so much better tasting and meatballs so much better. My dad use to put lobster meat in the sauce , that was so yummy! You can doctor up the sauce too if you use the can or jar kind.

Add potato, it will reduce the sodium on the cooked frozen entree.

I would rather to get freeze-dry meal. They last much longer and no need use fridge at all. Just add hot water and cook. Ta-da.

actually frozen veges are better than fresh veges because all its nutriments are 'fastened' frozen intact into the vege like it wont fade of its vitamins/mineral strengths..

It's not quite true, I agree old wilted veggies are not as good
as fresh crispy ones,
but I wouldn't go that far as saying the frozen ones are "better".

After all you don't know how old the frozen ones can be - what if they are stored for a year in deep freeze, for example.

The good stuff in them would go to sh*ts -literally ;) , too (manure)

No fail great dinner:

buy enough fresh or frozen salmon for your guests.

rinse it well. place it in lightly oiled bake container that you will put into your oven.

btw I use walnut oil or coconut oil. but you can also use maze (corn) oil, or other oil - enough for a fish not to stick to the bakeware.

Sprinkle the fish well with ready to use Salmon spice
I use Clubhouse La Grille "salmon"

you can also put slices of orange or canned pinneapple on top.

If you want to make it extra tasty, you may arrange slices of lean bacon on the bottom (after olive) of the pan, then put a fish on it.
(remember to put the fish pink side up)

cover the pot, and shove it into the oven - bake it at 400"F for 1 hr -
I make sure it's well done so no parasites and their eggs EVER are alive.
I also prefer the farmed salmon to wild as its more moist.

Now cook rice. I use rice cooker so I don't have to worry about water dripping over etc. for 10 bucks you have cooker good enough.

you don't need anything more complicated, believe me!

Buy ready to eat coleslaw, add your dressing - and you serve a great dinner!!

better and quicker and HEALTHIER than anything frozen ever!

Scarce as they may be, there are people who don't.

Look, when you just start cooking everything is daunting. And, lets add a beautiful woman for more pressure shall we?

Yes, back up plan is take out, but primary plan needs to be easy and elegant. After dinner, have some desert and candles for a casual conversation.

Again, she probably treated the OP to a nice dinner and he needs to reciprocate. Just sayin...

LOL what is wrong with pasta, sauce jar, italian with butter and garlic and sprinkles of paramese cheese along the good drinks.

Hahaha... that's true. Those are easy (as long as you regulate the temperature and monitor the food you're cooking).

The easiest food for me to cook is pasta and grilled cheese.

Guys, help...planning to prepare dinner for someone special this weekend. But not a good cook... '( Shall i go for frozen food items instead? They are easy to prepare and I guess a good way to impress too.. what do you think? :hmm:

If it's someone special, then try doing it on your own. That should show this someone special that you're trying. If it doesn't work out, you two can always cook out.

There are some frozen dishes that you can cook and usually turn out alright. Try Stouffer's lasagna?

I hate sour, garlicky tomato paste :eek3:
that wouldn't be a score with me :shock:

Fussy
 
potato jacket left on, (darker nadine types), you scrub it, wash it, but dont peel it, then you cook it in microwave (prick several time with forks first) (or in pan with water, but i dont do that for jacket on potatoes)...its said the jacket contains more protein than the entire potato itself...and one peanut contain as much as entire single potato!! so eat a bag of peanuts is like eating a sack fo potatoes...

but as for cooking potatoes in jacket, once cook, slice it open in quarters but not totallt down thru the entire potatos, say half way lie a cross shape slash opening of the potatos, sprinkle some grate cheese on the hot, soft part of it, it melts and really make it look good and tasty. Same can be said for butter, but cheese is better imo.
You could, sprinkly small amount of herbs on or a dosh of parsley if you wish.
