What's easy to cook?!

[Moxiechick]

I have a new neighbour coming over for dinner tomorrow with her 2 year old. It's an effort to make friends in a newish town!
Really have no idea what to cook that we can all eat that's fairly cheap to buy and simple to cook but not smileys and fish finger type things!
Neither are vegetarian and no allergies. Please help!

With a 2 year old, I would stick to guarantee winners -
penne with bolognese sauce , do a nice salad and some crusty bread with it
Sausage casserole
Risotto

maybe make a lemon drizzle cake as well?

Lemon-Rosemary Chicken Thighs
At $0.73 a serving, you'll stay within your grocery budget for sure with these citrusy herbed chicken thighs. Rice and steamed fresh broccoli are equally economical sides that are great with the tender dark meat chicken.

The chicken looks lovely! - Do you have the recipe please?
