Pre-pregnancy, dinner prep was usually 1-2 hours; which includes lots of catching up, wine and social time for us. I’m just now starting to feel good enough now to get back into the kitchen again, and our meals have gotten much quicker since I got pregnant.</p> <p>Things we like to make/meals in usual rotation in our house:</p> <p>Risotto and some meat/fish</p> <p>Lemon quinoa with pan seared sole</p> <p>“spicy pasta”: Arabbiata sauce with extra garlic, and we add in </p> <p>spicy sausage and pancetta</p> <p>Tacos: fishwith cabbage slaw, wilted greens tacos, shrimp tacos or carne asada tacos</p> <p>Chicken and mole</p> <p>Mole enchiladas</p> <p>Homemade pizza</p> <p>Whole roast chicken with spinach salad or roasted winter veggies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-meals#post-28434 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 08:45:15 +0000 Mama Ek 28434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is our menu this week:</p> <p>M: Roasted salmon, asparagus and 90 sec. rice pilaf<br /> T: Spaghetti with bolognese sauce<br /> W: Grilled Cheese &amp; Amy's Organic Tomato Soup<br /> Th: Pasta w/ chicken, mushrooms and bottled sun dried tomato sauce</p> <p>I have to be able to cook dinner - or prep within 1 episode of fresh beat band :) so the LO is distracted.</p> <p>I try to rotate through meat so we aren't having chicken or ground beef every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-meals#post-28420 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 08:21:27 +0000 heffalump 28420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our favorite (and probably easiest) meal is slow cooker chicken tacos. Just chicken, salsa, garlic, and paprika, and then you pull the chicken. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-meals#post-28415 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 08:13:44 +0000 mediagirl 28415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love making sushi but it is a pain to make and it's expensive. If I have time, I like to make beef stroganoff and chicken paprikash - two staples we had as kids. Now that my husband is on a restricted allergy diet, I can't make those last two but I think sushi will be added in as a once a week meal!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-meals#post-28394 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 03:49:09 +0000 looch 28394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love food and preparing meals, especially weekend dinners.</p> <p>During the week, even though I am at home, the focus is on getting something nutritious and warm on the table. I usually do a big shop on the weekends and fill in with fresh veggies and fish as I need them during the week.</p> <p>Some favorites in our house:</p> <p>Pesto salmon with roasted grape tomatoes (uses jarred pesto smeared over salmon, baked in the oven)<br /> Apricot dijon pork tenderloin<br /> Beef or veal Zurich style...small pieces of beef in a cream sauce with special hash brown style potatoes<br /> Penne with white bolognese sauce<br /> Cheddar polenta with any kind of meat<br /> Zucchini parmesan (like eggplant, but better!!)<br /> Shrimp aqua pazza over pasta </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-meals#post-3837 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 08:58:06 +0000 mrsjyw 3837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we've narrowed our list of go-to at-home dishes. </p> <p>-panko fried tilapia with rice, sauteed veggies (usually zucchini)<br /> -ground sirloin tacos/taco salad<br /> -bibimbap &amp; bean sprout soup (Korean food)<br /> -shrimp (fried, grilled, steamed, etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-meals#post-3829 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 08:47:37 +0000 mizu06 3829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These days we've been making penne in arrabiata sauce with shrimp or sausage, and some bell peppers - but extra spicy! It's so quick and easy.</p> <p>When I have a little more time, oxtail or some sort or braised beef. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-meals#post-3704 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 21:00:11 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 3704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love making korean food... and anything with less than 5 ingredients that i can just pop in the oven! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-meals#post-3698 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:57:23 +0000 bakingAbug 3698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love cooking but this pregnancy has really made it difficult on me as far as cooking. I have to be in the right mood. Tonight it's roasted apple and cinnamon pork loin with baby boiled potatoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-meals#post-3677 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:38:54 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 3677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>favorite meals = easy stuff. Clearly I need to expand on my recipes. ( im not the best cook out there) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-meals#post-3613 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 19:58:52 +0000 twodoghouse 3613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband likes spicy foods so we're on an enchilada kick lately. I found a chicken &amp; spinach enchilada recipe on Tasty Kitchen and sort of messed with it until it was perfect. When I'm feeling lazy, I just whip up some tacos and that does the trick too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-meals#post-3610 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 19:57:40 +0000 Coastinganon 3610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got the cooks illustrated pork chops recipe memorized and it is a fantastic meal in less than 30 min. Paired w/ roasted veggies of any kind and we get enough for leftovers for later in the week. Yummmmm... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-meals#post-3609 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 19:57:28 +0000 PBandBaseball 3609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like trying new recipes but one of my favorite wedding gifts was a book with all of my family's recipes from my mom. It includes a lot of southern stuff and brings back fond memories. The hubs really likes my lasagna and chili. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-meals#post-3598 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 19:52:17 +0000 rawrasaur 3598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pretty much love making anything with chicken and pasta.Right now I am trying all kinds of new things. Since I am unemployed I have a lot of time on my hands. Skinnytaste.com is currently my favorite site to get recipes from. Tonight we just got Double Daves pepperoni rolls since my dad is in town and it is half price tuesdays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-meals#post-3587 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 19:41:10 +0000 MaisyMay 3587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I have plenty of time, I try to make a good dinner. For instance, tonight I'm making fish, veggies, and macaroni and cheese. It's not the best, but it works. One of our favorite meals is chicken pesto pasta and Hubs loves it if I make pot roast or steak with potatoes and garlic bread. If you have time, and energy, what sort of dinners do you like to make (or have Hubs make)? </p>
