When I'm in a bind, like tonight, I take 2 jars of Bertolli alfredo sauce, add a little white wine and garlic powder and a little milk to stretch it, add frozen baby sweet peas and some ham, sometimes I get sliced and sometimes I get a ham steak. Let it cook a little and toss with linguine, top with parm, get a bag of salad and you're good to go. yummmm

two peas in a bucket
is a site set up by some employees of my sister's business who stole her ideas and many of her customers to start their own business. You can use them if you want but personally I think that kind of thing stinks.
If you want to go to a good scrapbooking site, go to Keeping Memories Alive or KMA. They invented scrapbooking. I think they have just sold their business but they have some pretty good discounts going right now.
Peas haven't sprouted up yet.
Good thing since the weather is being crazy with the random snow and hail.
You have fresh peas, too, in that cool northern weather of yours? :) nm

Asparagus and/or peas with mint are nice side veggies. Have everyone bring a dessert

I warned you about the pasta
No pasta or beans. More meat. The poo should be much less than with dog food. My dog likes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and vanilla wafers for treats. Hang in there. You will have a customized diet for your dog in no time, just keep watching the poo and keep adjusting.
Pasta Express = junk...sm
Took longer than boiling pasta in a pot, and it came out gunky or undercooked the few times I tried it. The clear plastic container is a nice tall flower vase now.
Crab in Tomato Sauce with Pasta
CRAB IN TOMATO SAUCE WITH PASTA |

1 lb. blue crab meat, flaked
2 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 med. onion, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp. flour

In a large skillet, combine butter and olive oil and saute onion and garlic over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, add the flour and cook and stir until flour is well blended. Stir in broth, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes. Add crab meat and cook for 5 minutes. Toss hot pasta with 1/3 Parmesan cheese, then top pasta with crab-tomato sauce. Pass remaining cheese.

I practically live on pasta salads. (sm)
Warm or cold. Often I start out as dinner, with just-cooked rotini or something similar, add chicken, tuna or tofu, steamed veggies, olives or artichoke hearts, maybe some almonds or sunflower seeds, tasty dressing, and it's good hot for dinner, and cold for other meals. Lasts for several days, takes no talent to make, and yummy!
I've cut out pasta and never gave beans.
PBJ's?? I know she likes peanut butter but thought it was probably bad for her.
So now I have a diet of hamburger-rice and PBJs. She's gonna have to fight me for the food dish!
I love Mix N Match Pasta for summer meals
Just boil up a big batch of tricolor rotini pasta and add whichever of the following that appeals to you, or whatever you happen to have on hand.
Chicken, tuna, ham, shrimp, crab meat
Celery, carrots, onion, green peas, mushrooms
Ranch dressing, Italian dressing, mayonnaise, Miracle Whip
It's a great "clean-out-the-refrigerator" meal! 
I would do pasta salad (I make mine with Ranch and chicken!)
dip for the chips, cheesecake and some kind of potatoes, maybe on the grill?
Pasta with zukes, carrots, onion, garlic, basil...sm
sauted in olive oil, with a garden salad. All of that (except the pasta, of course) from the garden. You guys posted lots of yummy plans.
