Do you have a "go to" dinner meal? For us, it's tacos. We have tacos with rice and sometimes refried beans. Another night will then be either leftover tacos or taco salad.
-
The meal I make when I don't feel like cooking is usually roasted salmon with roasted broccoli or asparagus--everything goes on baking sheets covered with foil so there are no dishes to do! And barely any prep work.
-
Tacos for me, too!! I use ground turkey. I made them last night. And I make extras and wrap them up individually in tin foil for lunches the next day.
-
We usually eat out or order in if we don't feel like cooking... bad I know!
-
Tacos or frozen/homemade pizza.
-
@Bao: Oh yeah, frozen pizza is another staple! We usually keep one in the freezer for lazy, no-cook/effort nights. Taco requires minimal cooking/effort
-
Tacos is probably our first go to if nothing is really planned. We almost always have all the ingredients in the house. If not, chicken breast and salad with a slice of bread.
-
Either spaghetti bolognese or an easy spinach-rice dish we like. They're both tasty and filling with minimal effort.
-
Usually enchiladas. Its one of the few meals that I don't need a recipe.
Biscuits and gravy if we don't have many groceries because we ALWAYS have those ingredients on hand. I can make them with my eyes closed and they taste SO GOOD (but are so unhealthy).
If we don't feel like cooking, we go out. -
Tacos or fajitas are super easy and don't heat up the house too much. We also do grilled burgers (homemade bison burgers I freeze) with a salad a lot in summer.
-
We call it Everything Pasta. We make pasta with red sauce and then throw in everything we can find: grated carrots, zucchini, & other veggies, and beans or re-heated meat. If we've got frozen Costco tortellinis that's even better!
-
Steak-- I cook it in my cast iron skillet and then maked mashed or a baked potato. Frozen corn, too
-
chicken curry!
-
Pasta with hamburger tomato sauce and frozen veggies.
-
my go-to when I'm cooking for myself is whole wheat pasta or couscous with whatever vegetables are on hand and white beans, tossed with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, black pepper, and cheese (parmesean, feta, or goat).
-
I make this salad at least once a week -- baby spinach, sliced almonds, dried cranberries, blue cheese, grilled chicken, balsamic vinaigrette. It's SO easy because in the time it takes to grill the chicken, I assemble the salad fixings and make the dressing and then it's ready to go! And, minus the cheese, it's pretty healthy!
-
Taco meat either for tacos, nachos, tostadas, burritos....you get the idea! I've found mixing in a can of pinto beans makes it extra filling and tasty.
-
Grilled Hamburgers (when it's nice enough) or spaghetti since it's quick.
-
Hamburgers grilled on George Foreman. I usually keep a couple hamburger patties in the freezer. DH will eat on a bun with sides or bun-less with a baked potato.
-
fish tacos, quick and easy.
-
Spaghetti
-
Tacos, spaghetti, frozen pizza, mac n cheese. Clearly we're not the healthiest people!
-
Pasta. It used to be pasta with ground turkey but since we're eating less meant now it's usually pasta with pesto.
-
Pasta with a chickpea sauce or steak in a cast iron pan.
-
Grilled buffalo chicken salad. In fact, we're having it tonight!
-
Rice. sometimes plain, sometimes fried, sometimes Spanish rice.
-
grilled chicken and veggies.
@mrsbookworm, i made buffalo chicken salad last night!
-
tacos for us too, in the crockpot!
or a stirfry and roasted veggies.
-
It kind of changes! Lately it's this Cambodian dish. It's stir fry beef with celery (but I add other veggies). Here are the ingredients
Steak or chicken strips
Celery
3.5 table spoons of fish sauce
2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
6 garlic cloves
Cored cherrie tomatoes (I like the gold ones)
I add onions and red peppers
Basically just get that oil hot on medium high heat and add the finely chopped garlic, let it cook 15 secs then add beef, let the cook 2 mins then add celery and onions, let those cook two mins then add fish sauce salt sugar peppers and slowly fold in the tomatoes. Tastes best served with jasmine rice! Yum! -
Pasta with my homemade sauce. The sauce is pretty easy, but really delish. Or chicken grilled with lemon and garlic, over cous cous and broccoli.
-
steak or fish and salad. We always have those things on hand.
Fish tacos. -
Delivery. Or pasta with garlic & olive oil.
-
If we are what we eat, we'd be "tacos". Easily DH's favorite meal.
Our staples are tacos, pasta, curries.
