Turkey meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans (just don't overcook those) are hard to screw up.

Just do delivery. Reach out to the family. Or, get an uber eats or other generic card.

Get a ready to heat meal from Wegmans or Costco.

Balduccis or Olive Garden - so two platters of fettucini pasta and heavy meatball pasta, bag of salad, and some rolls

I think Rottisorie chicken, nice loaf of French bread and a good veggie side is welcome. You get so many casseroles.

Baked ziti was the first dish I learned to make. It comes out perfectly every time.

Roast chicken, baked potatoes (with butter/sour cream on side), green beans. Store bought pie.

Chili is a good choice. Don’t forget the fixings (bag of shredded cheese, sour cream etc). Add store bought fresh bread or cornbread.

Baked pasta dishes (baked penne, ziti etc) are also easy. Add store bought garlic bread and bagged salad.

Enchiladas are another good choice.

I’ve also done a pot roast/carrots/potatoes several times in the winter. Hearty, easy, and something everyone tends to like.

Don’t worry about vegetables. Chili, sour cream, cheese, chopped green onions, corn chips. Maybe send some nice oranges for dessert.

Yeah, if you're a terrible cook, this. No question.

Chili

something that is pretty foolproof. I'm a terrible cook.
