5. by now the water is boiling, so add the noodles
6. stir until soft then drain
7. by then your garlic bread is done, so take it out of the oven
8. serve the meal with a bag of salad and ranch dressing (get your mom or brother to set the table for you)

For dessert you can make cherry crisp:

1. add a can of cherry filling to a baking dish
2. mix 1/4 cup butter with 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup flour until crumbly
3. sprinkle the topping over cherries and bake for 15 min. at 350 degrees F.

Notes from Mom:

We used our favorite brand of jarred Vodka sauce, pre-made meatballs, whole-wheat pasta noodles and low-fat crescent rolls (follow package directions for baking). To dress this meal up, you could make your sauce, meatballs, and/or bread from scratch, or even add some fresh veggies to your bag of salad.
