Call me lazy... My favorite easy (not so light) meal is a peanut butter sandwich with banana and some chips & dip, followed with a squirt of Hershey's Chocolate Syrup.
When I was growing up it was smoked fish and bagels with cream cheese--a New York City youth.
I miss that treat even now thousands of days later, and if I could have that every Saturday night, I'd be mighty pleased.
DH and I love this, too! We try to keep some frozen, thinly slicked smoked salmon on hand, cause we like to defrost it, get out the cream cheese and bagels . . . and we have gotten where we add some capers and onions if we have any around!
YUM YUM good! I love that for breakfast, lunch or dinner! We love bagels and lox or anything close to it. And I grew up in the South and no one ate that here . . . discovered it visiting relatives in NJ when I was about 8 or so!
Just thinking about it . . . craving it now . . . and sadly, no smoked salmon in the freezer tonite . . .
I think we are going to do shrimp and cheese and grapes. But this week, I am gonna find some smoked salmon now that you have me thinking about it!
I almost wish we weren't talking about--none here tonight and we are in a rather bad snow-storm. But, I know the minute I can dig out and get to town, it will be in my cart.
Enjoy your tonight dinner, too!

We like to do tomato soup with grilled cheese -- only we fancy up the grilled cheese by using artisan bread -- last night was wheat with swiss cheese and sundried tomato, and use a cheese such as mozz or provolone with salami too. Yum
Not sure what to call it . . . but often on a Sat or Sun evening . . . DH and I enjoy something simple.
So we fix a platter of cheeses, some different crackers, maybe some shrimp w/ cocktail sauce . . . some sliced salami . . . grapes, cantelope . . .and a glass of white wine. We do this according to what we have on hand at the time . . .
Any suggestions for other types of combinations that would be fun and easy to fix for this type of meal?
We do this about once a month and we call it 'snack night'. We lay down a table cloth on the floor, open a bottle of champagne or wine, put some mellow music on and have cheese, crackers, salami, spinach dip and veggies, share a salad, apples or grapes, sometimes I make stuffed mushrooms or sometimes ravioli w/ feta cheese and greek olives... or whatever we can find. It is a really neat treat for us, it gives us some quality time together and we just sip and snack. I love it!!!! In fact, we haven't done that in a while... thanks for reminding me!

I am now craving ravioli and also - feta cheese! And yes, champagne is the perfect accompaniment. Of course, I must confess - I love even cheap champagne!
HighlandsGal...Tomato Soup and a great grilled cheese sound good!
Top Ramen...that is everbody's economical tasty friend!
And cheese and crackers are always perfect!
A quick light meal we fix quite often are BLT's wrapped in a warm tortilla.
Some good center cut bacon (either microwaved, or baked or fried),
some great plum tomatoes, sliced and cut in half,
and a piece of ice berg lettuce, (or the bagged type shredded lettuce),
all wrapped nicely in a warm tortilla.
Along side your favorite chips, maybe a crisp dill pickle
and a large glass of sweet iced tea....MMmmmmm! Perfect!
(Don't forget a big, homemade brownie for later)
