That is what prompted my question I had a broken arm and guests arrived to see our new house and I ahd nothing prepared and nothing to make. It was awful I felt so bad but I just couldn't do anything.
Hi, I was just thinking about this the other day. My husband is a farmer and didn't get his crop off last fall due to an early winter so last weekend we combined unexpectedly (didn't think it would be dry enough) and I ended up with neighbors to feed. I was kind of caught off guard.
I thought after that I should always have a pan of lasagna, some french bread, a white cake, strawberries and ice cream on hand. That way I could put a decent meal together without having to do much or get stressed.
...they came over last nite unexpectedly and brought a homemade souffle, pasta salad, wine, baguette, and apple pie with them.

has only happened to me twice and both times the couple rang my doorbell with bags of food so we could all eat together, but no cooking required on my part!

I keep tuna casseroles in the freezer. Make a salad and a baquette of frozen bread and it's done.

Frozen crab cakes....black beans, corn relish. salsa.....

Lagnasa, you can cook from Frozen.
How about keeping some bacon wrapped filets and salmon filets in the freezer. They don.t take long to thaw. Also for quick appies have some crab ragoons (freezer section) in you freezer with some cocktail sauce.This is what i do.
