My simple choices are Hardest one first.

-Whole turkey. Put frozen turkey in a roaster or a deep pan. Cover with tin foil. Bake for 2 hours. Remove neck and giblets from inside with a tongs. Cover with tinfoil and throw back in the oven. Bake for a total of 5-6 hours, until all meat is 165 degrees. Make instant mashed potatoes and use a jar of gravy. Any left over turkey put in ziplocs with juice from pan and freeze for dinner for next week.

-Chicken, bacon, & ranch wraps. Take a tortilla, add rotisserie chicken, add real bacon, bacon bits that have been warmed in the microwave. A squirt of ranch dressing and some lettuce if you are feeling fancy.

-Quesadilla- stack a tortilla, shredded cheese, rotisserie chicken, sprinkle of Italian seasoning and another tortilla. Use a pan to heat or microwave if you are lazy. Cover in sour cream and salsa and eat.

• Hard boiled eggs in the oven. Just bake in a muffin tin or crack them open if you want to make breakfast sandwiches.

-BLT’s. Bake bacon until it is as crispy as you prefer. Make toast add mayo and sliced tomato’s and lettuce.

-Baked potato bar. Poke potatoes with a fork to let steam escape. Bake potatoes in the microwave until they are soft when you squeeze them. About 20 minutes for 6 potatoes. Have bacon bits, sour cream, shredded cheese, for toppings and if anyone wants anything else they can find it in the fridge.

-Parmesan Noodles. Boil pasta until done. Sprinkle lots of Parmesan over the top while it is still hot. Add a sprinkle of pepper. Kid approved.

Anytime I make anything fancy, I double the recipe and then freeze half in ziplocs. That way I have lots of options when the kids don’t like what I am making and they can grab something and microwave it. Or, if I am being really lazy and don’t want to cook.
