[quote=Anonymous]Lasagna? You could make 2 and freeze one. The most expensive thing is the cheese but it's much cheaper if you buy block cheese and shred it yourself. Serve with a baguette and a tossed salad. I agree with the pp who mentioned having some boxed mac and cheese on hand for the elementary school aged kid. For appetizers, crudite and a dip for the older couple. A fruit tray for the family. I know my elementary kid loves fruit. Apples and grapes are fairly inexpensive and would be fine. It's perfectly fine to ask them to bring dessert or drinks. Truthfully, wine probably costs more than a quick dessert. There are usually coupons for cheese and pasta sauce on the Safeway app. I also shop at Aldi or Lidl sometimes and they have good quality things at good prices. Good luck and try to remember the most important thing is spending time together, not impressing them with the menu. [/quote]
