Thaw a chicken breast and cut into small cubes. Saute until done. Remove from pan. Then saute any veggies you have on hand, fresh or raw. I use a combo of mushrooms, artichokes, green beans, spinach, zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli, cauliflower. Seriously, whatever you have on hand. I usually have frozen versions of the above from TJ's. Saute until done and add the chicken back. Season with salt/pepper/red pepper flake/garlic and whatever seasonings you have. In the summer we have fresh basil, thyme, rosemary and sage. Otherwise I'll use dried basil/oregano. I used to add a cream of mushroom soup to this for a sauce but have tried to get away from more processed foods. I serve over pasta, quinoa, rice or on its own with a generous sprinkle of parmesan (my hugest vice!). This is truly a clean out the fridge/freezer meal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-300424 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 19:31:09 +0000 autumnlove 300424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: This sounds so good! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-300418 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 19:26:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 300418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: yummm!!! sounds delish.</p> <p>My go to that I make every week is stir fry over sauteed cabbage. I usually throw together zucchini, colored peppers, carrots and mushrooms. To make a "sauce" I throw together toasted sesame oil, amino acids, worcestershire sauce and red wine vinegar - salt and pepper. It's delicious!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-300395 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 18:55:16 +0000 HLK208 300395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make panini's on nights we need something quick...</p> <p>Ham, turkey, mozzarella, roasted red pepper and basil with a little evoo on the outside of a soft cibata roll. Sometimes I add chili infused olive oil to give it a little kick. </p> <p>Another go to is creamy pesto, pasta and garlic chicken. I dip chicken into melted butter with garlic then dip it into an oregano, pepper, bread crumbs, cheddar and parm mix then cook at 350 for 30 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-300386 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 18:25:08 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 300386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make chicken taco soup. It seriously is so flipping easy cuz I just throw a bunch of stuff in a pot. And I totally switch it up based on what I have at the time. And it is pretty healthy!!!</p> <p>first a boil a pound of chicken breasts and then shred them.<br /> then, I put the following into a big pot:<br /> the shredded chicken<br /> One can tomato sauce<br /> One can fire roasted tomatoes<br /> one can black beans<br /> one can sweet corn<br /> small can of green chills<br /> one packet of taco seasoning</p> <p>Let simmer for a bit, then serve with tortilla chips, sour cream, shredded cheese and avocado! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-300377 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 18:09:44 +0000 pastemoo 300377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: That sounds awesome! I love making pizza. And we have a breadmaker and DH makes awesome pizza dough. Mmmmm! I will try your toppings. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-300376 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 18:08:47 +0000 pastemoo 300376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use any recipes for anything but my go-to dishes are<br /> burritos, huevos rancheros, waffles, tacos, a dish kind of like chicken pot pie except with tater tots or potatoes instead of the biscuit topping, meatloaf, Swedish meatballs, meatballs in red sauce, stir fry with rice....<br /> everything comes with sauteed veggies unless the veggies are baked in.</p> <p>For our chili we use 2-3 types of beans (usually canned), corn, olives, fresh green or red or yellow (sweet) peppers, some jalapeno, some tomatoes, with spices--often we add cinnamon. :)<br /> add the separately cooked beef and onions (no onions while I'm BFing--sad!) that have been sauteed with oregano, chili pepper, salt, pepper, and secret spices (YES spice the meat and the veggies and then add them together--so yummy!)<br /> serve with chives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-300362 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 17:39:35 +0000 mrstilly 300362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite crock pot dish is pulled pork. I put a pork loin and 20oz root beer in the crock lot and cook on low 6 hours. Take the pork out, dump the soda, then return to crock and pull the pork apart. add a bottle of your fave BBQ sauce and put on low for 30 mins. </p> <p>My other favorite recipe is a buffalo chicken calzone. I use frozen pizza dough from the store. I cut up chicken breast and cook it in a pan on the stove with a bit of evoo. I toss that in Frank's buffalo sauce. I roll out the thawed dough, spread out the chicken, top with a drizzle of ranch and add some cheese. Then I close the dough around it and bake until golden. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-300284 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 15:56:25 +0000 Mrsbells 300284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started making a ranch dressing chicken. I cook the chicken breasts in a tiny bit of water with any spices and I feel like and then once it almost cooked I smother it in ranch dressing and put it in the oven. So moist and so delicious!<br /> Then I make a garden salad to go with with and stuff it all inside pita bread </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-300281 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 15:51:38 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 300281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easiest dinner ever (I always make it post call): Italian dressing chicken. You can do it one of two ways. 1) Cut up chicken braise in fry pan until almost cooked. Add Italian dressing and cook til caramelized. Serve over pasta or rice. When we're really fancy we throw in some artichoke hearts or sundried tomatoes.<br /> 2) throw chicken pieces in the oven covered in Italian dressing. Cook until chicken is done and skin is brown and crispy. Serve with broccoli or another veggie.</p> <p>Super easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-300273 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 15:46:39 +0000 heffalump 300273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started making this pizza, very easy and yummy.</p> <p>I use refrigerated pizza dough from the grocery store. Roll it out, sprinkle olive oil on it and bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Top with baby spinach mixed with a little olive oil, sliced tomatoes, mushrooms, crumbled goat cheese, whatever else you want on there. Bake another 15 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-299998 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:33:24 +0000 LuLu Mom 299998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cool weather go to is Tator Tot Casserole:<br /> 1 lb hamburger<br /> 1 cup brown rice<br /> 1 can of cream of mushroom soup<br /> 1/3 cup of water<br /> handful of cheddar cheese<br /> 1 can of green beans </p> <p>Top with tator tots...bake for 30 minutes or so </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-299991 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:30:05 +0000 yoursilverlining 299991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our quick go-to are basically: meat + veggie + salad. Grill, broil or pan sear fish, pork chop, steak or chicken. Grill, or quickly pan cook some sort of fresh veggie in olive oil. Salad - sometimes we have olives/feta/cucumber/red onion, otherwise add in some combination of: avocado, goat cheese, nuts, fruit, etc. Simple balsamic or lemon juice dressing. Always takes less than 30 min to make. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-299985 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:28:18 +0000 BoogieBea 299985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my current go to when I don't have much in the fridge.</p> <p>Fresh rosemary<br /> Fresh thyme<br /> Garlic (minced)<br /> Salt<br /> Sugar (sometimes I use brown)<br /> Olive oil<br /> chicken, pork or fish</p> <p>Don't have measurements because I just measure by eye. Pretty generous with the herb and garlic amounts.</p> <p>mix everything together except for the protein to make like a paste. Spread it all over the chicken/pork/fish. Depending on how much time I have, I may let it sit for an hour in the fridge. Then bake in the oven around 325 degrees until done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-299963 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:21:17 +0000 Mrs D 299963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chicken &amp; Dumplings in the Crock Pot:</p> <p>-3 or 4 chicken breasts<br /> -2 Cups milk<br /> -2 cans condensed cream of chix soup<br /> -1 bag frozen veggies (i use a peas, carrots, onion mix)<br /> -1 container grands rolls raw (cut each roll into quarters)</p> <p>Mix the milk and soup together until combined. Add the breasts and cook at medium/low for 6-8 hours (start trying to shred the chicken around 4 hours). 1 hour before serving add the frozen veggies. 30 minutes before serving add the rolls - they cook up and make the fluffy dumplings!</p> <p>I usually serve with something light, like salad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-299951 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:16:46 +0000 MrsCastro 299951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3-4 tablelsppons of EVOO<br /> 1/2 packet of mexican pasta </p> <p>toast the pasta in oil, until golden brown then add 1 choped tomato. let the tomato cook then add about 2 cups of water. </p> <p>add some mazola seasoning (about a tabelspoon)</p> <p>then you can add some cubed potato or potato rounds, how ever you like your potatos. </p> <p>bring to boil, then turn down heat to simmer for about 15-20 minutes. keep lid on pan....</p> <p>yummy comfort food for fall/winter...</p> <p>[attach=2075/12/mak5fz.1x1.arroz.gif] </p> [attach=2075/12/mak5ix.500x375.2948042055_ce1e028bd4.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-299947 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:15:52 +0000 littlebug 299947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess my go-to would be chicken puttanesca. I don't really use a recipe at this point, so any measurements I have here are guesstimated and/or from memory. This is my favorite meal and it's super easy. I usually serve it with brown rice and a salad.</p> <p>2 chicken breasts, cut in half<br /> salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano to taste<br /> 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes<br /> 1 1/2 c grape tomatoes<br /> 3/4 c kalamata olives<br /> 1 Tbsp capers<br /> mozzarella cheese</p> <p>Preheat oven to 425. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano. Add olive oil to a large, oven-proof pan. Once heated, add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip chicken and add red pepper flakes, olives, tomatoes, and capers. I usually add a bit of caper juice, too, for added flavor. Place into the oven and cook for about 15 minutes. Top each piece of chicken with mozzarella and cook until melted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-299936 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:11:43 +0000 looch 299936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I am really pressed for time, I take some uncooked shrimp out of the freezer, toss them with lemon, olive oil and red pepper flakes and put them in the oven while I boil some pasta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-299902 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 12:59:31 +0000 lavender 299902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds good, adding it to my dinner menu for next week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-go-to-dinner-recipe#post-299883 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 12:50:59 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 299883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need some new quick and easy recipes.
