Girlawhirl loves to have an apartment full of friends, and that means that she's usually in the kitchen working the stove, or keeping an eye on the oven. But these easy recipes from Recipe4Living.com keep it simple so she can stop and chat while dinner practically cooks itself…
• Everyone loves pasta with vodka sauce, but this creamy Lemon Vodka Sauce takes it to a whole new level. With a sprinkling of parsley, basil or mint in the spring and summer or rosemary in the winter, it looks beautiful too.
• Girlawhirl gets a head start on this delicious White Chili made with white beans and chicken by doing most of the prep the day before. So when her pals arrive, it's almost ready, just bubbling away in a big pot on the stove.
• When just cocktails and snacks are on the menu, Girlawhirl makes mini Lobster-Crab Cakes that steal the show when she serves them surrounding a bowl of Creamy Dijon Sauce.

• Chili Rellenos Casserole is a spicy alternative to a quiche and paired with corn bread makes a fun brunch. Sometimes Girlawhirl adds ¾ cup of chorizo to the onions for a heartier meal.
