My in-laws are coming over on Sunday for the game and dinner. I'm all set for game snacks, but what should I make for dinner? I don't want to do slow cooker (I'm afraid my MIL thinks I can't cook anyway). And I am so looking forward to her probing and invasive questions about my uterus. Suggestions?

    Pasta of some sort? Lasagna? I like grilling pork tenderloin for guests, assuming they eat pork. What about roasted chicken?

    I'm to lazy for that sh*t and would do meat ball subs, or hot roast beef sandwiches.

    Roast a couple of split chickens at 400º for an hour. Easiest thing in the world! Just make sure you leave the skins on while cooking; they come out juicy and fall-apart tender, not all dried out! Season 'em up however you prefer. Make a big salad or steam fresh veggies. Throw half a baked potato on the side (the oven does all the work!).

    I'm with seahorse on the pork tenderloin.  Easy peasy to make, but they seem like you put in an effort.

    You've probably already decided but Mexican Stuffed Shells are amazing and people go nuts for them when I make them.
