- you've made a thanksgiving dinner. a small scale dinner is totaly easy. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:15
- what's so overwhelming about it? - skare Oct 31, 15:14 14
  - I think "hey I should make dinner! Yeah, I want to make dinner! Cool, I'm going to make dinner!" - ty97 Oct 31, 15:16 13
    - do the pasta thing Jack mentioned - but instead of buying a jar sauce - get the new philadelphia cream cheese sauce thingy - you just cut up chicken & - JenBro Oct 31, 15:22 4
      - those are far too rich for my tastes. -- nm - this is my costume Oct 31, 15:27 3
        
        I have only tried the garlic one - and thinned it out with a dash of white wine actually because it was too thick for my liking -- nm - JenBro Oct 31, 15:28 2
        
        that's a good idea, will remember for next time. -- nm - this is my costume Oct 31, 15:28 1
        
        also - I haven't tried it yet - but apparently swanson has little packets of stock now that you can also add in - I'm going to try them out too. - JenBro Oct 31, 15:30
    - or! when you think of something that sounds good, poll us. we'll let you know if it's easy (or not) to whip up. -- nm - skare Oct 31, 15:20
    - you need to plan ahead. think of a couple of easy meals you want to make during the week. look up the recipes, make your list. *then* go shopping. -- nm - skare Oct 31, 15:17 1

      - This is what I should do. I think I'm afraid that if the calories aren't on the box, I might get it wrong. - ty97 Oct 31, 15:24 2
        
        Oh, there are apps on the web that let you put in all of the ingredients, divide by portions, and voila. - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:25 1
        
        and do you already have a food scale? it's easy to estimate the calories in fresh food if you use one. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:26
    - ok, think of a dinner you would like to eat. right now. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:16
