You are a thoughtful caring daughter How about making some canned baked beans with a little fried onion & green pepper a good dash or two of ketchup, molasses and a tad of mustard? you could have this with a can of biscutis if you eat cheese maybe some scalloped potatoes with cheese you can slice a loaf of french bread spread it generously with real mayonaise( not salad dressing) and sprinkle with garlic powder and parmsean cheese and pop in oven till nice and brown careful it may burn about 7 minutes
Ahot bowl of vegetable soup is always welcome ..fry onions & celery in olive or vegetable oil (can also add two cloves of minced garlic if you like) out in in soup pot and add 2 cans vegetable broth 2 cans of water 2 bay leaves one big can of cut up tomatoes 2 potatoes cubed and simmer 30 minutes then add a bag of frozen mixed vegetables you can also add other vegatables that you like a little shredded cabbage, green beans , or even a small package of spinach and a good pinch of basil salt & pepper continue simmering till all vegetables are soft about 30 minutes at this point I like to add a nice handful of frozen cut up okra and cook 5 minutes more ,serve with hot biscuits rolls or french bread A nice hot pot of tea after a long day is great too! Enjoy
pasta with vodka sauce, and a nice tossed salad.
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup (50 g) grated Parmigiano (buy a chunk and grate it fresh)
3 tablespoons tomato paste, diluted with 1/4 cup hot water
1 hot pepper
1/4 cup or so (maybe a third of a cup) good vodka -- you want something that has a taste to it
1 teaspoon brandy
2/3 cup fresh cream
1 pound rigatoni
Preparation:
Bring pasta water to a boil, lightly salt it, add the pasta, and give it a good stir.
In the mean time, melt the butter in a large pot and stir in the tomato paste and the hot pepper. Let the mixture simmer over a low flame for a couple of minutes, then stir in the cream, and when the sauce comes back to a boil, the vodka and brandy. Fish out and discard the pepper, stir in the grated cheese, and continue stirring gently until the sauce is well amalgamated and creamy.
By now the pasta should be about done -- you want it still somewhat al dente. Drain it, transfer the pasta into the sauce (this is why you need a large pot), and cook over a brisk flame, stirring energetically, for about a minute to help the pasta absorb the sauce.
that takes about 20 minutes to do, not too long ^^
Ingredients
2 hearts romaine lettuce
2 small plum tomatoes, diced
1 Kirby cucumber or 1/4 European seedless cucumber, diced
1 small yellow onion or 1/2 red onion, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and shredded
1 /4 cup (a couple of glugs) extra-virgin olive oil,
2 to 3 tablespoons (a couple of splashes) red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
Coarse salt and black pepper
Directions
Place salad greens in a salad bowl and top with tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, and carrot. Place oil, vinegar and sugar in a small plastic container. Put the lid on the container and shake dressing until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Pour dressing over salad. Season salad with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to combine.
^^ your basic delicious tossed salad :)

Spanikopita, or spinach pie. It's just saute, mix, layer, bake. And it's fancy and foreign.
Also anything pasta, of course.
