[quote=Anonymous]I spontaneously host a lot.  Mostly early dinners with kids, but sometimes dinners for adults, too.  Here's what I keep in the house always for these purposes: Bacon, Hot dogs, Pasta, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, boboli pizza crust (1 fresh, several frozen), pizza sauce, marinara sauce, Vace frozen meals (lasagna, eggplant parm, gnocci), broccoli or green beans, and frozen cookie dough.

If i'm just cooking for kids, I make either mac n cheese with hot dogs or a boboli pizza and either simply steamed broc with or green beans (with a little garlic butter if all kids are ok with garlic).  If adults are eating, i'll fry up some bacon to add to either mac n cheese or make a more adult pizza if I have arugula and fancy cheese.  If not, I will also pop a vace meal in the oven and serve with a simple salad (we always have lettuce and ingredients for a vinaigrette around). I will also throw a few cookies in the oven for dessert.  Oh - and you must have wine and beer.  Always.

Really easy.  [/quote]
