If you don't need to stick to a budget it's pretty straightforward to make something that tastes great in very little time. It's the little touches at the end that make a difference like crumbled blue cheese, fresh herbs, garlic and lemon. You will pay more at Fresh Market but the butcher and fishmonger will be doing all the prep work.
When my side gets together for a week or two during the year, I do the cooking although I'm not the only one that can cook. They know it's my little gift and they run out for the ingredients. Almost always my sister will show up with a spiral cut ham. I'll turn that into soups and casseroles for the rest of the week. And it brings back memories of the old Holidays days when my mom used to serve an early dinner and dessert and we would sit around talking in the dining room telling stories about the kids and work until it was time to start supper from the leftovers served earlier. I think food was central and the personal. And I hate to say it, but my mom was not the best cook and it didn't really matter.
