Make a box of Barilla pasta and you have instant meals for a while. In a bowl, put some extra virgin olive oil and garlic. Drain, but don't rinse the pasta and pour into the bowl and add more oil while stirring. This keeps it from sticking. A whole box will last a few meals and you can make different sauces for each night.

Can of clam sauce with mushrooms is fast and easy.

Jar of Alfredo with saute'd chicken is simple and quick

Can of clams with the juice simmered with shrimp is fine.

I saute'ed sliced chicken breasts with pesto, garlic and oil until tender and it was delish!

Rice is simple to make. It's 1c rice to 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low and cover until almost done. When almost done, turn off the heat, but leave it on the burner covered until all the water is gone.

The fried rice is even better. RiceARoni is quick and easy and you can add meat to it with the water and cook that all together.

Here's a soup that won't fail you. I don't know if it's still cold by you or not, but this is an instant soup that doesn't taste instant. Minestrone, the canned version.

One can each, drained

corn

peas

green beans

diced potato

sliced carrot

white beans (any kind) not drained

2 cans diced tomato, not drained

2 cans beef broth

1 pound of cooked italian sausage, like ground beef

Heat to hot and serve with bread or crackers.

Good luck, kiddo.

First, congratulations on your pregnancy. You haven't lived until you've had children.

easy recipe... take about a pound or so of hamburger out of the freezer just before your boy friend leaves for work, and put it in the fridge so it will slowly defrost.

Brown the meat in a good sized frying pan, add canned or fresh mushrooms, cream of mushroom soup, heat till boiling for about 3 mins, then let simmer for until the meat is done.

Get some good sized egg noodles, boil in about a cup and a half of water until noodles are tender and limp... drain the noodles.

Take your hamburger/cream of mushroom and mix in the noodles in a good sized bowl. You can make it as thick or as thin as you like by adding water or milk to the hamburger while its simmering.

Since you're Italian, I'm sure you have some garlic around the house... some garlic, black pepper, and maybe some bits of chopped celery will spice it up just a bit.

Its not much, but its filling, cheaper than hamburger helper, and takes less than 30 mins to prepare.

My boyfriends two favorite meals. Both take less than 30 minutes

Taco casserole

ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1/2 onion

1 bag nacho doritos

1 pound mexican cheese

1 can cream of chicken

1 can cream of mushroom

1 jar taco sauce

1 can rotel with chilis

1 can mexicorn

preheat oven to 375

Brown beef and diced onion. Add cream of chicken, mushroom, taco sauce, undrained rotel, and drained mexicorn, bring to boil. In the meantime crush the doritos and cover bottom of casserole dish. cover with soup and beef mixture. Add layer of cheese. Repeat layers. Top layer should be of cheese. Put in the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.

Chicken and rice

ingredients:

boneless skinless chicken breast

minute rice

1 package of chicken gravy

Boil chicken breasts until done (about 15 mins). Cook rice according to package. Cook gravy according to package. Combine all ingredients and enjoy!

Chicken dish- 500g-1kg chicken breasts, 1-2 containers of creme fraiche(or sour cream) 1 bottle of chilli sauce Cut chicken breasts into quarters. Put in an oven proof dish. Mix together creme fraiche and chilli. Pour over chicken. Cover. Cook for 20-30 mins 180-200 deg. Cel Serve with rice and boiled vegetables. I find the best recipes come from childrens books. The library is a good source. Roast chicken is also a very easy dish. Wash and pat dry chicken. Put it in an oven proof dish. Peel and halve potatoes. Put it around the chicken. If you want a garlicky taste, peel and crush at least 3 cloves of garlic and spread it over the chicken. Or you can take a few sprigs of rosemary, rub a few leaves over the skin of the chicken. sprinkle the rest over. Cook for about an hour. Enjoy
