I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but here are a few favorites my husband and I like to cook together...





Pasta...





Chicken Scampi


1/2 cup butter


1/4 cup olive oil


1 tsp dried parsley


1 tsp dried basil


1/4 tsp dried oregano


3 cloves garlic, minced


3/4 tsp salt


1 Tbsp lemon juice


4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, sliced lengthwise into thirds





In a skillet heat the butter and olive oil on medium high heat until butter is melted. Add parsley, basil, oregano, garlic and salt and mix together. Stir in lemon juice.


Then add chicken pieces and saute for 3 minutes or until white. Lower the heat and cook for about 10-15 mintues or until chicken is cooked through. More butter can be added if needed. Serve chicken over hot angel hair, or other pasta and pour some of the sauce over it all.





Creamy Alfredo Sauce





8 ounces dry fettuccine pasta


1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese


3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese


1/2 cup margarine


1/2 cup milk


1 teaspoon garlic powder


1/4 teaspoon dried basil


1 pinch ground nutmeg


Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.


In a medium saucepan, combine cream cheese, Parmesan, margarine, milk, garlic powder and basil and stir over low heat until smooth and creamy, 10 to 15 minutes. Toss sauce with pasta and sprinkle with nutmeg. Serve.





You can add some grilled chicken or cooked shrimp to the above and pour over hot pasta....wonderful!!





Mexican...





This is my husband's burrito recipe...if you really like smothered burritos, if we don't have time to make our own green chili, we go to a local restaurant and order a quart of their chili to smother our burritos. They are wonderful!!!

You could do a big pan of real nachos, with taco beef, shredded cheese, jalapenos, sliced black olives, sliced green onions. Just spread chips out on a baking pan, pile on the toppings and bake until melted and yummy.





Another easy option would be frozen ravioli or tortellini, your favorite red sauce or store bought alfredo, homemade garlic bread and a salad.
I'm not sure if you are looking for just appetizers or dinner or both. I think your best bet is to check out my 2 favorite websites they both have great recipes and nothing too difficult.
