Subject: Dinner ideas?
Got the daughter and her 2 girls at the house from daughters surgery yesterday. Wife goes to work at 4 PM. I'll go to the gym after work and get home about 4 PM. I expect the kitchen to already be a mess. I don't want to clean, cook, and clean again. But I am in charge of dinner. Ideas? Don't say McDonald's.

Frozen pizzas are always good in a pinch. Minimal prep/cleanup required and generally kids love em.

Pasta and garlic bread?

(Possibly that's my plan for tonight.)

BBQing is out here right now due to wind and rain. I hate frozen pizza. One kid like mac n' cheese. Te other likes normal food.

Guess that kills my pasta idea. Chop up chicken and cook that instead of pasta, let the others enjoy the garlic bread.

That's a pretty good idea. They usually have salad bars and pretty normal dinner type items, and they can pick what they want. No cleanup, fairly decent meal...seems like a win-win to me!

Or order chinese take-out. That's what I'd do.

Quesadillas sound good. I thought about the deli, but want to stay away from the sodium.

Bruschetta Chicken Bake

1 can (19 fl oz.) diced tomatoes, undrained (I used the one with Italian herbs and spices added)
1 pkg (120g) Stove Top Stuffing Mix for chicken
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces (I used what chicken parts I had)
1 tsp dried basil leaves
1 c Mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 med. sweet onion, finely chopped
2 stalks of celery, finely sliced
1/2 of a sweet red pepper, diced
pinches of salt and pepper

-Mix together tomatoes, stuffing mix, basil, a pinch each of salt and pepper just until stuffing mix is moistened. Set aside.
-To a large hot skillet add 1 tbsp oil .. sautee garlic, onions, celery and red pepper. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Add bite-size chicken pieces and continue to saute until chicken is cooked through. (if you find cutting up cooked chicken easier then simply cook the chicken pieces first then cut up to bite-sized pieces)
-Preheat oven to 350F. In a 13x9" baking dish layer chicken sautee, stuffing, and cheese. Bake for 20 min. Serve hot.

That's something that everyone of them would like. And I still have chili from Sunday. My wife is the only one that wouldn't like it and she won't be there. Thanks!

There's zero sodium in the chili and I can get low sodium hotdogs.
