Quick, Easy Dinner Recipes?

I'm only fifteen, but my dad cooks every night, because he's a teacher, and my mom's a lawyer and comes home late. He cooks well, just a bit repetitive. I want to know if you guys have nice, tasty recipes that are QUICK AND EASY to prepare! And please, nothing too exotic.





Thanks!

Quick, Easy Dinner Recipes?
A great quickie crock pot recipe/.ingredients to pick up from ones local grocery store include depending on how many , one is feeding. pick up a package or two of meat balls,couple jars of marinara sauce, a package of sub buns,and some parmesan cheese . once you have all the ingredients just put the meat balls in the crock pot,add the sauces(mix it up),plug it in and heat on low till ready to serve...these meat ball subs are so quick and easy..beats sub ways meat ball subs by a long shot..and perhaps to go along with the subs add a toss side salad.or buy some boxes of pasta salads from the grocery to add with the meal.
some of my favorites are meatloaf, chicken fajitas, fettuccini alfredo, tuna casserole, taco salad, chicken or eggplant parmesan, homemade pizza or calzones, hamburger stroganoff, stir fries...these are all really easy to throw together, i don't have specific recipes but you can get lots of good tips from allrecipes.com or just by doing a google search. have fun!
This one is super easy and really good, enjoy!





Quick Chicken Parmesan





4 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 or half and half (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.








Hot Fudge Pudding Cake





During the baking a cake layer forms on top and a rich chocolate sauce appears on bottom. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whip cream.





1 cup Bisquick or biscuit/pancake mix


1 cup sugar


3 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder


1/2 cup milk


1 tsp vanilla


1 2/3 cup hot water


Powdered sugar (optional)





Mix bisquick, 1/2 cup sugar and 3 tbs cocoa in a greased 8 inch square baking dish. Stir in milk and vanilla until well blended. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/3 cup cocoa and 1/2 cup sugar. Pour on water. Bake in preheated 350 F oven for 40 minutes or until top is firm. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve at once in bowl with sauce spooned over cake. Make 6 servings.

Prepare Rice-a-Roni with butter and water, according to package directions. Let stand until all liquid is absorbed. Fold in Cheddar cheese. Spread into 10-inch pie plate. Bake at 450 degrees F for 5 minutes to set crust.





Top with spaghetti sauce, sliced cheese, sausage, Parmesan and mushrooms. Top with additional spaghetti sauce, if desired. Bake at 450 degrees F for 10 minutes or until lightly brown.

PUMPKIN CASSEROLE





Cuisine: Side Dish





Category: Side Dish





Servings: 6


Ingredients:


1-1/2 pounds Fresh pumpkin meat


1 large Onion -- finely chopped


1/2 teaspoon Salt -- or as desired


1/4 teaspoon Ground white pepper


2 tablespoon Unsalted butter -- melted


2 Eggs


3/4 cup Milk


3/4 cup Farmers cheese -- OR- hoop or ricotta








Instructions:


Pumpkin dishes don't have to be sweet. This one is perfect with roast pork. Hollow out a small pumpkin to serve this in for a special presentation. PREHEAT OVEN TO 375F. Using a paring knife or vegetable peeler, peel and discard outer skin of the pumpkin. Slice the pumpkin into 1/4-inch slices and place in a mixing bowl. Add the onion, salt, pepper and butter and toss well. Pour contents of the bowl into a 9-inch round or square greased baking dish, cover with foil and place in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, beat eggs, milk and cheese together until smooth. Remove the baking dish from the oven, remove the cover and pour the cheese mixture over the top. Replace in oven, uncovered, another 20 minutes. The gratin is done when it turns golden brown.





Catalina Chicken from the thighs and legs - separate them and skin them before baking to keep the fat down, if you prefer. The recipe I use is typically for a whole chicken, so I would substitute 4 - 5 legs and thighs in this case.





Take the cleaned pieces and put them in a rectangular glass baking dish. Mix one small or 1/2 large bottle of Catalina Island French salad dressing with one envelope of Lipton's French Onion Soup Mix. At this stage, depending on your preference, you could add to the pan of chicken any of the following: Onions, 1 inch dice, red/green/yellow bell pepper, 1 inch dice, and/or pineapple tidbits. Pour the sauce mix over the whole thing and swirl it around to coat all the pieces. Cover with foil to keep moist.





Bake in a 375 degree oven until the chicken juices run clear. You will want to make a batch of fluffy rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce from the chicken bake. My family loves this recipe and it takes less than 5 minutes to prep.';
