| Pasta + salad, taco bar or nachos, or sheet pan chicken + veggies with rolls |
I was going to post this. Also, this is a lot of work for an "easy" dinner. Fresh minced garlic? Really? Powder or jarred won't do? Give me a couple of frozen lasagnas, bagged salad and pre-made frozen garlic bread any time. |
How many spears? |
|
Spaghetti & garlic bread
Lasagna Mac & cheese Fried chicken Tuna salad Mashed potatoes Corn on the cob Rotisserie chickens |
|
Frozen chicken pot pies and then cook.
Frozen dumplings and pan fry with a salad Make and freeze chili and and bring cornbread and a salad |
|
Tacos are usually my easy dinner for the masses. I buy all the fixings beforehand and just need to cook the meat with taco seasoning. If you want no dishes, do walking tacos (tacos inside a bag of chips).
If there's a grill, grilled chicken with a veggie side and sweet potato is an easy option as is grilled sausages with onions and peppers. Spaghetti with meat sauce, broccoli and garlic bread works too. |
I see what you did there. Much appreciated. |
Second the taco option. Put a bunch of chicken breasts in a crockpot with a jar of salsa and bring a bunch of toppings and your golden. |
| F all of that noise and let DH handle it. |
| Costco’s pre made meals are pretty good and easy to heat/serve. I really like their gyros and street tacos. Or you could get a rotisserie chicken or 2 to serve over those giant pre-made ceasar salads. Pick up some garlic bread and a dessert from the bakery. |
I love you.
|
I'm here for almost anything Costco but I've not even been tempted to try the Gyros. If someone tells me they're good, I might give them a try. Any other pre made Costco stuff that you'd bring to a quasi-event with adults? |

Pizza:
- choose whatever crusts work for you and the supplies you'll have - the roll out pillsbury, bobolis (I love the thin ones), dough you roll out yourself, or french bread or something else - marinara - cheeses - pepperoni - an onion, a few peppers, olives, etc... - bring spices from home (oregano, basil, red pepper) - if your family are more adventurous add hot honey, salami, artichokes, etc... Salad stuff: - lettuce, cucumber, grape tomatoes, peppers, 2-3 kinds of bottled dressings |
| I'd want better food and less effort (tacos & pizza seem so fast food), and I'd be willing to throw money at the meal. And that's why I don't have a good idea. Maybe Wegmen's chicken parm? |
The stuffed peppers. |
