I never post on these threads, but I read them every day, and they make me soooo hungry! I don't have my own kitchen with my current living arrangements, so I don't get to cook often. I just come on here and live vicariously through all of you as you try out all of these recipes 
Anyone have any dinner suggestions for someone with few tools and ingredients on hand? I share a public kitchen. It isn't stocked with anything in terms of pans, utensils, or dishes, just basic appliances. All of my PC is in storage except for my bar pan and round stone, and my 8" saute pan. I'd love to use it all, but I live in what is essentially a dorm room, so there's no space. I am so tired of take out and frozen pizzas. Help!

The Caprese Pizzas are really easy, from the It's Good For You Cookbook. Pizza dough on the large bar pan, brush with olive oil/garlic mixture, then top with parmesan cheese. Cut into three long strips. Bake for a little while, remove from oven, add thin tomato slices and mozzarella slices, bake again til the cheese is melted and bubbly. Then brush with olive oil mixed with chopped fresh parsley, sprinkle pepper to taste. Very yummy. And VERY easy. And it uses items from your kit!
DH is working tonight, so it'll probably be mac and cheese night since it's just me and the twins. It's hard to be inspired to make a big meal when you're only feeding yourself and a couple of two-year-olds.

DH is having leftover spaghetti...I needed a change with that...so I am making my own version of spaghetti pie.
The left over tomatoe sauce and spaghetti, I added some mushrooms, onions, garlic, light ricotta cheese, part skim mozzerella on top and topped it off with some fresh grated loccetelli cheese we just bought.
I cannot wait to dig in---and see DH's face when I tell him what he's missing.
Salad too for dinner.
Homemade garlic bread for him.

ChefBeckyD said:I have my clusters fall kickoff tonight, so I will be eating a little of all of the new recipes.:chef:
DH & DS will probably get either leftovers, or Spaghetti.
I'm such a good wife and mom! (LOL) I ended up making the guys Creamy One Pot Pasta, except that I deleted the broccoli, and added in mushrooms and shrimp that I had sauteed in some olive oil and Greek Rub. It looked really pretty with the parmesan grated over the top and the snipped basil. They also had fresh green & yellow beans from our garden.
I had a bite of DS's pasta....it was good!
I had some of all of the new recipes at our Fall Kickoff - everything was so good, I am going to have a hard time finding a favorite this year!
I was surprised by how much I liked the new Frittata recipe...and wasn't sure about the mini-burgers - but I ended up really liking them.
