Need a Recipe idea

[Kenazo]

And it has to be ready in under 2 hours. 🙂

My wife is gone for the day, and figured I'd make her supper, but I am quite out of ideas. I was thinking maybe some sort of pork chops, or chiken, rice, veggies and something for desert. What are your suggestions?

You could make some pasta salad to go with it, if she likes that kind of stuff.

Pasta Salad

1 (16 oz pkg.) tri colored pasta 1 cup Italian style salad dressing
1 cup creamy Caesar style salad dressing 1/3 cup pitted black olives
1 cup grated parmesan cheese

1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta until tender, rinse under cold water and drain
2. In a large bowl, combine the pasta, Italian salad dressing, black olives, and Caesar salad dressing. Mix well.
Add grated parmesan cheese

Get some frozen pie crusts and make quiche. It's easier than you'd imagine and I guarantee you'll impress her.

I haven't made that yet, but I plan to soon. 😀

I added a recipe for pasta salad to my post too if you are interested! 😀

Oops! Just noticed that the other recipe wasn't complete, plus it made too much dessert. I doubt you need 60 bon bons. 😀

You can find some good dessert ideas here. I'm sure there are other sites, but that's the only one that came to mind. 😀

the chicken is good, i make chicken parmesan often enough

bread and pan fry instead of bake (or rather, season, flour, egg, bread) and make my own marinara sauce

hope you get some good breadsticks with that, some proscuitto (or other cured ham) wrapped around them is good 🙂

she doesn't do pasta salads too well, or starch in general. It seems that whenever she has such her stomach gets really sore. Probably a mild form of IBS or something.
