You are coming home from work, and a call comes in; you have company coming over at 7 pm and you have about an hour to create a miracle dinner. What do you do? There are a lot of different web sites that talk about food, one that is very popular features Rachel Ray.

Foodnetwork.com has a Quick & Easy recipe section that has some great samples. You could look them up when you get home, and find a recipe that has the items that you already have at home. Rachel Ray does a 30 minute meals series, and she has recipes that go together pretty quick. A sample recipe that jumped out was "Shrimp Cocktail with Rach's Quick Remoulade," which is about 10 minutes to get together, 5-10 to cook, and serves 8-10 hungry people. There seems to be a great number of these recipes found there. You might want to check it out.

This is also one of the best seasons to have great outside dinners, or yard barbecues with fresh corn on the cob, melons, and squash in all styles. These are all very easy to fix, you can bake them, steam and even eat some fresh, not cooked. With the help of some of these quick and easy recipes, that dinner should go together in snap.

Baking is a great thing to do too. But so many of us have very little time in which to do it. At this same site, there are some great cheesecake recipes. For example: ricotta cheesecake with warmed cherries, mint chocolate cheesecake, chocolate covered peanut butter cheesecake pops, passion fruit cheesecake, and classic cheesecake. It's hard to beat a good cheesecake for dessert.

If you aren't much for cooking, or when you don't get much time off of work, a quick way to feed the family could be very simple, tuna casserole, lasagna, or creamed tuna on toast; these are easily made from what staples that are in your pantry. Either way you decide to go, eat, drink and be merry.
