Dinner ideas? (LovinMyLife)

How about spaghetti and meatballs with the garlic bread.  I buy the turkey meatballs, store bought sauce, and a box or two of pasta.  Easy, done and not that expensive??  If you do make it, can I come over, it's my favorite meal!! 

Hmm I've never had turkey meatballs! Do you buy the frozen ones?

You can come over if you can make it to CA by 6pm and if you bring Charlie and Riley

When I was younger and I had birthday parties, my parents used to buy stuff to make pizza!  They would buy the pizza crust bread (i can't think of the word) already made and flattened, buy the pizza sauce, cheese pepperoni and veggies and would let the kids make the pizza!  It was so much fun and tastes so yummy!!!

Or, as a twist, buy pita bread and all the stuff for pizza, and let them make their own individual pizzas!  You just put them in the over at 375 - 400 degrees and bake until the cheese melts!

They are the non-frozen precooked ones.  I get the ones that are in the same section as the pre-cooked chicken strips, near the packaged lunchmeat type stuff.  Tyson is the type of Chicken strips but the meatballs are a different brand - I can't remember.  They come in a blue package so maybe it's Perdue.  I was skeptical the first time I tried them but was really surprised at how good there were.  They didn't taste like turkey at all and I am very picky about that.

If I could I would.  I would do anything to get out of this snow already!!

How about a baked potato bar? We make up a big bunch of potatoes and have a variety of toppings.  Everyone can choose his/her favorites!

 I made a beef stroganoff last night that was really yummy, if you want I could send you the recipe. But for kids, I think a make-your-own-pizza event might be more fun :)
