[quote=Anonymous]OP I've recently learned to cook, and I cook for my family but don't cook for others--it would turn an event that I would normally look forward to into an event I would dread!  So rather than never have anyone over, I order out. I'm just upfront and tell them I wouldn't subject them to my cooking.

Then I may have pizza, or PF Chang, or sushi.  It can be expensive but in my book, I'm buying off stress.

That being said…roast pork tenderloin is super-easy.   You can do yams in the oven (400F for one hour; flip halfway through and pierce with a fork) .  If the yams are done early, they'll wait until you are ready to serve them. You could do steamed asparagus or broccoli, too (you can do that last minute, just get the water out--sometimes I warm up the water, then leave it, then when it's time to boil it, it heats up faster.  Add some dinner rolls and butter…oh, and buy a dessert!

Also a group appetizer plate of cheese, little crackers and olives is nice!

And yes, (sigh) the mac and cheese.  Such a shame that it has to be required these days.  [/quote]
