Use fresh ravioli for a super fast version or frozen ravioli if you have a little extra time. 375 for 30-45 minutes covered with foil until the last 10 minutes. Add spinach or pesto or Alfredo sauce or cooked sausage or pepperoni or whatever you want! You can chop up frozen breaded chicken tenders and add that for a mutant chicken parm lasagna. Throw a bagged salad on the side and done! I even use a disposable pan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-lazy-dinner-ideas#post-2101937 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 08:55:02 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2101937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miramira: that sounds yummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-lazy-dinner-ideas#post-2101935 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 08:54:21 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2101935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night I cooked up 2 boxes of Annies mac, sliced up some Hillshire Farms American Classic sausage (nitrate and preservative free!), steamed some broccoli and chopped it up in the food processor really quickly, combined them all together and called it a day. It's like 15 minutes for a fairly healthy and mostly clean meal that everyone in my house actually eats every last drop of. </p> <p>Diced potatoes cooked in a skillet with Jimmy Dean all natural breakfast sausage and a side of steamed veggies is another lazy meal that everyone actually eats. Now that I think of it, the lazy meals are the only ones my family eats. Nobody cares if I worked hard on a meal....lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-lazy-dinner-ideas#post-2101924 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 08:51:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 2101924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I used diet Pepsi last night it's all I had and it still worked. I cooked on low for about 8 hours (with a pork roast) and it wasn't dry at all. It was probably done in 6 though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-lazy-dinner-ideas#post-2101893 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 08:36:33 +0000 Ash 2101893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yum! Thanks everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-lazy-dinner-ideas#post-2101880 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 08:31:03 +0000 MenagerieMama 2101880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Basically all I make is lazy, here are some current favorites:<br /> - ravioli, we buy from Costco or Trader Joes and keep in the freezer, then thaw the day before (otherwise they stick together). We actually just sauté the ravioli in a pan with a little oil to heat them up and then dump in some marinara from a jar and heat until simmering and then eat! I'm in love with this method because boiling them always ended up with a few burst ravioli and also this way it's hard to overcook them (DH is in charge of ravioli!).<br /> - pasta with marinara + sausage, similar to above, we buy spicy chicken sausage at TJ or Costco and keep frozen, then make pasta and marinara sauce and microwave a couple sausages, slice up and then simmer in sauce.<br /> - mac &amp; cheese w/veggies. Cook up some Annie's mac and cheese and roast broccoli and garlic w/a little olive oil and red pepper flakes, then dump the veggies on the mac.<br /> - we've been buying these chicken/sauce premade things that I got on clearance and stuck in the freezer, like teriyaki chicken and chicken in a rosa sauce, I'm not sure the brand I'd have to look. But I've just been able to make a starch (rice or pasta) and stir fry some veggies to go with it and it's been really easy and tasty.<br /> - I also like to make soup because I just have to cook once and it feeds us for a few days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-lazy-dinner-ideas#post-2101867 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 08:23:06 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2101867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: Breakfast for dinner! Scrambled eggs, waffles, or french toast. </p> <p>We also do homemade pizzas with store-bought crust. Two favorites are store-bought pesto, tomato, and crumbled goat cheese or this chicken alfredo pizza: <a href="http://www.emilybites.com/2012/01/chicken-alfredo-pizza.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.emilybites.com/2012/01/chicken-alfredo-pizza.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-lazy-dinner-ideas#post-2101853 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 08:13:23 +0000 Smurfette 2101853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: Can you use Diet Coke? Going to get a roast for Friday. How long do you cook? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-lazy-dinner-ideas#post-2101849 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 08:10:03 +0000 LuLu Mom 2101849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite lazy meal: throw a pork or beef roast (or chicken breasts) in crockpot with a can of dark pop and some BBQ sauce, and let it cook all day. Shred it and eat on buns, top with more BBQ if you want. Steam a bag of veggie or roast some if you want to take the time to cut up. That's what we had last night, delicious, easy, and quick! We were able to enjoy the remainder of the nice day outside while the veggies roasted. </p> <p>Tonight is Hawaiian chicken, marinated all day and will just throw on grill, make some rice, use up the rest of the veggies and call it good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-lazy-dinner-ideas#post-2101824 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 07:57:09 +0000 Chillybear 2101824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm always on the hunt for things that i can pull right out of the fridge or freezer, stuff i can make if i forget to defrost something. I almost always have a digorno's pizza, PF Chang frozen entrees and rice, Dole salad bags and anytizer boneless chicken wingz, soup and grilled cheese on hand. Worst case scenario Breakfast for dinner - Eggs, toast, bacon, or pancakes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-lazy-dinner-ideas#post-2101819 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 07:52:03 +0000 Alivoo01 2101819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rice, eggs, and chinese sausage or we order pizza. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-lazy-dinner-ideas#post-2101816 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 07:50:20 +0000 MrsADS 2101816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a quesadilla maker and make quesadillas pretty often. Tortillas, add cheese, whatever meat + veg you have, a little salsa, that's it. Eat with fruit and carrot/celery sticks on the side if you're feeling healthy, chips if not. :wink: It takes like 5 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-lazy-dinner-ideas#post-2101801 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 07:35:23 +0000 Smurfette 2101801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately I take a couple eggs and couple egg whites, some turkey sausage crumbles, feta cheese, and a handful of spinach and cook it all together. Super high protein, no carbs, and it fills me up. I make it every week, one night when DH is gone and give LO something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-lazy-dinner-ideas#post-2101731 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 06:08:29 +0000 mrschickpea 2101731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stir fry! Veggies with chicken or Apple sausage, a little soy sauce and lime, some toasted cashews on top with cilantro! I'm eating paleo for health reasons right now so I am the queen of fast dinners since I'm often making something else for my husband :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-lazy-dinner-ideas#post-2101720 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 05:36:31 +0000 miramira 2101720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pasta with chorizo and tomato sauce. All the flavour is in the chorizo so you don't need to add anything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-lazy-dinner-ideas#post-2101298 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 19:01:55 +0000 sunny 2101298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I'm lazy or really crunched for time, I make frozen TJ's stuff.</p> <p>Chicken apple sausage + frozen gnocci<br /> Chicken breast + frozen Japanese fried rice </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-lazy-dinner-ideas#post-2101292 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 18:57:55 +0000 Ash 2101292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I always want to make something that I don't have energy to do.
