The Great Escape: Dream Dinners

A creative (and healthy) way to feed your family a home-cooked meal and get out of the house at the same time.

Your teens are babysitting for the neighbors on Saturday. Your parents have volunteered to watch the kids while you run errands on Sunday afternoon. Your tweens are glued to "Glee" on Tuesday evenings.  It’s your time. Take it. Looking for ways to spend it?

Each week, Patch throws out one great idea to give you a much-deserved break, and make your life a little easier—maybe a whole lot easier!

Those of you reading this weekly column hail from as far north as Germantown and as far south as Rockville. But Patch has found a "Great Escape" this week that's worth scooting over to Silver Spring for.

Choose from a variety of menu options like "Penne with Chicken and Peanut Sauce," "Buffalo Chicken Stuffed French Bread" and "Colorado Beef Roast." A dinner big enough to dish out six portions runs, on average, about $30—on par with what you'd spend at the grocery store—frozen pizza excluded.
