What would be a good recipe for a dinner?

Ok, does anyone have any recipes for a main course and side dishes. Maybe there's something wrong with me, but I seem to screw up what kinda food goes with what. Also, how many people are the recipes meant for? I always end up making 4 times as much food as I should. I kinda wanted to make something appropriate for an intimate dinner date for 2 people. Any suggestions?What would be a good recipe for a dinner?
Remember:


One meat,


One vegetable,


One starch such as potatoes/rice/beans





Extras could be tossed salad or a fruit salad.





And maybe a dessert. A small cup of ice cream would be good.

4. In a rush? Smithfield, Hormel, Armour, Tyson have packages of PRE-COOKED beef tips, roast, pot roast, pork roast, chicken, ham, meatload. Use this for your meat dish with a side dish or two of vegetables, rice, or potatoes. You will find these packages near the meat section, they are not frozen. Ask a clerk for help.





5. Tyson's fully cooked whole chickens are delicious. I serve them often with S%26amp;W canned sweet potatoes, Stove-Top dressing, microwave chicken/turkey gravy in jars, a canned vegetable, canned cranberry sauce, and frozen Pillsbury Microwave Biscuits which are better than I can make. A frozen pie defrosted and fully cooked. Perfect for one or two people at Thanksgiving or Christmas.





6. Another thing you can do is cook in a slow cooker or a crock-pot. You put the meat into the crock-pot in the morning and it cooks all day long. The meal is ready at dinner time. Crock-pots can be bought at your grocery store, WalMart, Target, etc. BE SURE to read the booklet that comes with the crock-pot.


Here are some crock-pot recipes for you:

7. If you are in a hurry, go to your grocery store and pick up a roasted chicken that you can buy in the deli section. They also have side dishes such as veggies, salads, desserts, and etc.





8. Frozen dinners are always a good choice. Our favorites are Stouffer's, Marie Calendar's, Michael Angelo's, Boston Market's. Just add a side dish, salad, or fruit salad. Desserts can be bought in the bakery section of your grocery store.





9. Ragu Sauces- Italian (in jars, just pour it on).

I am making chicken but I cannot decide if I want to bake our chicken breasts with a bread crumb coating or a cherry glaze so here are the recipes for both:





Marinate chicken in breasts in Italian dressing for about 1 hour then roll in Italian style bread crumbs that have Parmesan and Romano cheeses mixed in - bake at 375 degrees F for 45 minutes to 1 hour depending upon how thick/big they are. Serve with smashed potatoes, green beans and maybe some gravy. It is easy, fast and very tasty.





Cherry glazed chicken breasts:





1 can cherry pie filling


4-6 boneless chicken breasts





Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the chicken breasts in a glass baking pan that has been sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray like Pam. Spoon just enough of the cherry pie filling over the chicken to cover lightly. Place pan into oven and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes spreading more of the pie filling over the chicken every 30 minutes. Serve with rice or potatoes - either smashed or baked - and a steamed green veggie such as broccoli, peas or whole green beans or corn.





This is very easy and you get a nice moist chicken breast. This also works well for Cornish game hens and pork chops.








SAC
Linguine and Crab


cook linguine according to directions on package. Drain and add crab or imitation crab, mushrooms, onions and Alfredo sauce. Easy and fast!!!!!!!!!!!


You can saute the mushrooms and onions some to taste.
Reservations. No, just kidding. Get two nice steaks, ask the butcher how to cook them. Get two big baking potatoes, and bake them. Have butter and sour cream or shredded cheese to top them when they're done. Make a tossed green salad. You can saute some onions to top the steak. Get a couple bottles of red wine.
Try making pasta with alfredo or speghetti sauce, french bread with garlic sauce warmed and toasted in the oven and some wine! delicious!

This recipe feeds a family of 4 if everyone eats only one chicken breast. I always make 5 because my husband alway likes 2nd's.








Quick Chicken Parmesan





4-5 Boneless Chicken Breasts, pounded flat


1 jar Spaghetti Sauce (I use Prego mushroom and garlic)


3 oz. Mozzarella Cheese, grated


2 cups Italian Bread Crumbs


2 oz. Parmesan Cheese


1/2 tsp garlic salt


1 egg, plus 1 tbs water, slightly beaten





Mix Italian breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and garlic salt together in bowl. Beat 1 egg in another bowl, 1 tbs water and a dash of garlic salt. Dip chicken in egg, then in crumbs and fry in oil until brown on each side (10 鈥?15 min each side). Pour spaghetti sauce over chicken and sprinkle with cheese, cover so cheese melts and serve. Makes 4 servings.





Serving Suggestions:





I serve this with Fettuccini Alfredo and garlic bread.








Creamy Fettuccini Alfredo





1 鈥?8 oz. Package Philly Cream Cheese (I use the light version 鈥?1/3 less fat), cubed


戮 cup (3 oz.) fresh grated Parmesan cheese (I like De Giorno, don鈥檛 use Kraft)


陆 cup margarine (I use I Can鈥檛 Believe It鈥檚 Not Butter Light)


陆 cup milk (I use 1% or 2% low fat)


8 oz. fettuccini, cooked, drained (I use the fresh Contadina low fat one)





In large saucepan, combine cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, margarine and milk.


Stir over low heat until smooth. Add to drained fettuccini and toss lightly. Sprinkle with fresh Parmesan cheese if desired. Makes 4 servings.








Chicken Enchilada Casserole





1 鈥?1 陆 lb boneless chicken, cut into bite size chunks


1 can cream of mushroom soup


1 - 8 oz carton sour cream


1 small can chopped Ortega green chiles


1 sml package flour tortillas, cut or torn in small pieces


8 oz jalapeno or regular jack cheese, grated





Cook chicken in skillet with a little water and 陆 tsp garlic salt or powder, until no longer pink Remove and reserve.





In a bowl combine the next four ingredients, plus 6 oz of the cheese, and the chicken. Mix well and place in greased casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese and bake at


350 F for 1 hour.





Serving suggestions: Mexicorn and Mexican rice.








Moms Sweet %26amp; Sour Meatloaf





Sauce:


2 small cans tomato sauce


1/4 cup worchestershire sauce


1/2 onion chopped


1 tablespoon dried parsley


1/2 cup brown sugar





Mix all sauce ingredients together in bowl, set aside.





Ingredients (Meatloaf):


2 pounds ground beef


1/2 chopped onion


1 egg, beaten


1/2 cup or more if needed, quick oatmeal (not instant)


1 teaspoon garlic salt





In another bowl add ground beef, 1/2 chopped onion, egg, oatmeal, garlic salt, pepper, and 1/3 of the sauce mixture. Mix together well.





Place in pan, making space between meat and pan around edges with fingers. Flatten top, spread more sauce over top and cook 1 hour, at 350F. Drain off grease half way (30 min) and add more sauce. Reserve some sauce for adding when served. The oatmeal disappears, is healthy and you can't taste it. It just holds it together better. Add more if you need it.





Serving suggestions: Mashed potatoes and green beens.
