Rib Eye Steaks tossed on the grill

Baked potatoes- Wash well, prick with fork, bake at 400 for 45 -60 min
till nice and crispy. No oil, No foil. Live it up and serve good butter,
sour cream and chives.

Tossed Salad- good greens, sliced cherry tomatoes, pitted olives, cukes,
sliced green onions... simple olive oil and vinegar dressing. No gaggy
bottled stuff.

Ice Cream with the fanciest little cookies you can find.

About as easy a meal as can be!

How many people are you cooking for? What types of foods do you like?

If it is a causal buffet, get something such as a Honey-Baked ham,
other cold cuts, deli salads and sides, such as pickles, olives,
cheeses, and some good rolls and breads.

If you want more of a hand in it, you make the potato salad or cole
slaw or scalloped potatoes, or knock yourself out over cookies or a
coffee cake for dessert.

If you need any specific guidelines or recipes for any of this, just
holler.

Buy a family size box of Zaterain's jambalaya mix and the required
pounds of "coiled" Italian sausage (I use hot but mild works, especially
on the kids.).

To cook the sausage, in a large pot, squeeze the coil to force the
inside sausage into the pot and brown like hamburger (until just a
little pink shows [it will finish cooking in the next stage. Drain and
set aside momentarily.

Pour remaining grease out of the pot.

Next, follow the remaining instructions and measures. (Additional oil
can be left out for a "lighter version. Don't forget to add the sausage!
I did that once!

TIP: To reheat leftovers, add a tablespoon or two to the pot, stirring
and it'll steam back to life. If it begins to crackle, add a tablespoon
more water.

It's not a scratch recipe but it's a one pot meal from start until
finished.

Or not.
