We don't really do any sort of frozen meals or instant cooking, but most of these meals are pretty quick and easy to make. These are the actual recipes that I use.
Lettuce Wraps
Spaghetti with a sauce made of cherry tomatoes and basil
Chicken or Steak with salad and cous cous as sides
Grilled everything in the summer
We tend to get hooked on trends, and I'll make random dishes that sound good to me that will last for a couple days. I always love leftovers, but he HATES them, so it can be difficult. I feel like I should say "I'm making this dish and eating it for the next few days. If you don't want any after today, you can make your own dinners!" but that would be mean, right?
@NowDontLetsBeSilly: haha! i'm the opposite! i hate leftovers but DH loves leftovers.
chili seems like a popular item, anyone have a good chili recipe?
@vickyness: THis is my own recipe, but i won a chili bake-off with it, so it's got to be good!
Brown 1 lb ground beef (we use turkey) with chopped onion (about 1/2-3/4 an onion) in a little bit of butter. Add lots of salt, pepper, and garlic.
Pour overtop 1 can tomato sauce, 1 can tomato paste, and 1 can fireroasted diced tomatoes (Hunts makes the best)
Mix together sauce and meat, add in two cans of beans. I use Kidney beans and Great Northern beans, but you could also use pinto beans or red beans.
Add one pack of chili powder and 1/2 a tsp of red chili powder (the spicy stuff)
Mix everything together, add in basil to taste (I do at least a teaspoon, probably more). Feel free to add more garlic powder as well.
let it simmer, and add a good tablespoon of brown sugar a couple minutes before serving. You might want to add more/less to taste, because some people like it sweeter than others. You can also add more/less of the spicy chili powder.
I serve mine with cheese, sour cream, and Fritos!!
chicken stir-fry with veggies and rice (asian flavours)
meat-veggie-potato/rice
pasta with sausage marinara
pasta with tuna and olives marinara (fabulous for a Friday because most ingredients are non-perishables that we always have kicking around)
homemade soup---DH turns all of our leftovers into soup!
