(The quantities I've listed are only "ballpark" estimates. Modify the amounts up or down depending on how many servings you need, taking into account whether your family likes the convenience of reheating leftovers the next day or not.)
Also, I've included EVERYTHING you'll need to prep the dishes, which means that you may already have some of the spices and condiments on hand. Don't be afraid to skip buying a particular ingredient if you're not sure you'll cook with it enough to justify buying a whole package.
