That is a good one, whats the best sauce to get?

I have only used Ragu's alfredo sauce. I like it.

Make your own sauce. All you need is some butter, heavy whipping cream, and parmesan cheese.

I do but its not a "quick" dinner. I do chicken, bok choy, carrots, celery, broccoli, with that Asian marinade from Costco mixed with peanut butter and red pepper flakes, then I put that over white rice.

The rice and cutting all the vegetables take quite a bit of time.

Fajitas.

Red, yellow, green peppers, some chicken.

Cube the chicken, cook it on medium until fully cooked, throw the diced peppers in, cook for a few minutes, add a little soy sauce and Cajun choice seasoning, and you're done.

Costs under 10, feeds 2-3 easily, takes 10-15 minutes, very tasty.

Grilled chicken spinach salad.

Grill some chicken, mix the spinach with some craisons, feta cheese, sliced almonds or walnuts, and add the chicken. I usually like it with a raspberry vinaigrette, takes about 10 minutes to make.

Cost about 10-15 dollars to get everything, feeds 3-5, super tasty though, and healthy.

The point is making quick food at home, I go out everyday for lunch so I'm looking to stop going out twice a day.
