Our dinner plans turned into a fiasco. We were going to make lamb stew but realized that we did not have the necessary veggies. Ok, no big deal, we'll make something else and get the veggies tomorrow. Next, we thought we'd make a ham and lentil soup but decided that was too similar to the lamb stew. Spaghetti - had frozen sauce in the freezer, but no spaghetti noodles. We had the ingredients for a chicken/veggie stir fry, but that didn't appeal to either of us.

We finally ended up making the same thing you did, gadgets - tuna salad! Grilled tuna salad sandwiches made it onto the menu for dinner later. Once we figured out what we could actually make, the prep was pretty easy!

Quick and easy here too, gadgets. DH cooked crab and I'm making crab salads. I have a Costco roast chicken and rolls from Trader Joe's. Simple and fast on a rainy afternoon.

Captain D's for two pieces, only , of their batter fried fish.

I di my turkey/pepper/rice casserole. Although a simple dish, it uses 2 frying pans and one saucepan, a cutting board and a grater! Lots of clean up.

Chopped (ground round) steaks with grilled onions and sweet red peppers, baked potato, steamed green beans and the boys made applesauce with the last of the apples and added 2 overipe peaches.

Quiche and oven fried potato slices.

Cube steak in brown/tomato/onion gravy, mashed potatoes, and peas.

My housemate Charlotte is moving out on Tuesday. She invited me to supper... can't be easier than that... LOL

Baking a couple of pork chops and heating up odds and ends of leftovers for sides. Super easy.

Pan grilled a smallish thick cut sirloin steak to medium rare at the rarish end of the scale. Toasted a deli roll with butter and a bit of minced garlic. Sliced the steak across the grain. Loaded it on the roll and sat and ate at my computer. Ten minutes prep/cook at most. Home all day so I am grazing.

Leftover Taco Soup heated in a saucepan on the stove because the microwave is not working. Also cornbread from yesterday. And there is Key Lime pie in the fridge! Pretty easy and very good.

Hope you find a great new housemate moni.

I had a supper of scrambled eggs with onion and topped with black bean garlic and salsa sauce. Very simple and easy.

After watching a movie, my daughter and I went to Chicago Pizza. I got a small personal sized pizza and took half of it home.

Leftovers from the Italian restaurant last night. Lasagna for husband and shrimp, arugula and mushrooms in a lemon wine sauce over linguini.

After reading some of the posts, I made a salad with caned salmon and lots of tomatoes plus some spinach.

Not difficult at all. I am home alone....I fixed myself a hamburger.

Mine was pretty easy, too. Had some frozen spinach ravioli, some frozen marinara and some frozen meatballs. Defrosted and heated up, dusted with grated parm.

Mine was super easy. Son is home from school and cooked. The kitchen is destroyed, but I did no prep. sigh. So messy! Flour, corn starch, oil, chicken bones... It's a mess.

We always keep the makings of clam chowder on hand for something quick and easy. Cream of potato soup, canned clams, milk, splash of Worcestershire sauce, and pepper to taste. Add some warmed french bread for dipping and it's a great winter meal and ready in under 15 minutes.

Supper was a rerun of the day before, except the day before's V8, carrot and celery sticks was replaced by a green salad. The main course was mac and cheese seasoned beef patties and scorched brussels sprouts. Easy! For dessert later I had a cherry tootsie pop.

I had leftover linguine with clam sauce.....made fresh the day before. One of my favorite fast and easy pasta dishes!

Making meatloaf today :-) I see meatloaf sandwiches in my future!!

A couple of my wife's cousins were driving from New England to visit their mother in Florida. They stopped at our place for the night on Saturday and I made cheese tortellini with chicken and mushrooms in a pesto cream sauce. There was quite a bit left over, so Sunday dinner was super simple -- reheated leftover tortellini.

DH has been doing the cooking ever since he became an independent consultant. He works from home, so cooking is his creative outlet and gets him out of the office! He's a good cook, too, but I miss cooking (never thought I'd say THAT).

One thing I miss is my cleanup process. Not only do I clean as I go, but I consider the cleanup, like how full is the dishwasher already, will I need this implement later, how hard is this item to clean (broiling pan, I'm talking about YOU!)

DH just goes at it whole-hog. Last night was leftover chicken, tossed with pasta and a pseudo cream and broccoli sauce. So what should have been a simple cleanup of a pasta pot, saucepan, and cutting board, turned in to 3 saucepans and lids, a large skillet, 2 Corning baking dishes and a lid, the cutting board, and a measuring cup.

Sigh. I have no idea what he was doing with all that, but the dinner was good.

I made sloppy joes and an orange-walnut cheesecake. We're good for a few days.

Tonight we will be having the lamb stew that we were planning to make on Sunday. Hubby has gone to town to pick up the missing ingredients.

Tonight we went out to dinner. He was craving wings. It was good and I didn't have to cook.
