What's for dinner or what's your family's favorite?

Question

I need some fresh ideas. I find myself making the same things and getting bored with dinner. What's your family's favorite recipes for dinner?. I need inspiration!

Answer

I like taco salad bowls for a quick easy dinner. I usually use ground turkey to make it healthier. Buy a bagged southwest salad mix kit, add the meat, black beans and corn. Super yummy and easy.

Answer

I often do lazy tray bake!
- Chicken breast, thigh or winglets - however you like ‘em (or some tofu if you’re vego)
- 3-4 veggies, I like potato, cauliflower, beetroot and a big slab of red cabbage
- smother the lot in garlic, salt, pepper and whatever spices strike you 
- bung the lot in the oven until the protein is cooked!
One tray so nice and easy cleaning, lots of veggies so good nutritionally and delicious when you season it. Rotate the types of veggies for something different - try a different protein if you’re sick of chicken!
The trick is to get the veggies the right size, so they finish cooking about when the protein is finished.

Answer

I'm loving all these ideas ladies! Thanks so much for the inspiration. I have a nice list of dinners for the week now. 
One of my family favs is Mississippi pot roast in the crockpot! In case someone is looking for ideas too. Super easy! 
2-3lbs beef roast
Packet of ranch dressing mix
Packet of au jus gravy mix
Stick of butter 
4-5 pepperoccinis and a little of the juice
Throw it in the crockpot for 6-8 hours on low and serve it with mashed potatoes and a veggie. 
I like to check it and flip as needed because it can get dry if left alone for too long but other than that it's a great, simple recipe.

Great post! I've been cooking so many darn dinners for the last 4 months! Lol Tonight is a creamy pasta made with spinach. Last night, I made chicken fajitas. We do bbq burgers once a week. I made a delicious spinach cheddar dip last week. My mind is growing a blank...um....lol...I mix up tacos by using ground chicken instead of beef sometimes. Oh! I make a really yummy chicken pineapple dish in my crockpot. Super easy!

Answer

If you have an instant pot, my husband and I just tried a recipe for sloppy joes, that included zero manwhich, and it was delicious. 
We also do shredded chicken taco in the instant pot with lime, and it’s pretty good too

Answer

Today my hubby made lasagna with some basil from the garden. Diced tomatoes, some sauce, olives, ground turkey and mozzarella. It lasts us for a couple lunches so works great. Other meals we have been doing:
-roasted zukes with rice and chicken
- nachos
- tacos with meat, salsa, lettuce and olives
- hamburgers with extra lettuce
-BLTs with extra veggies
- home made guacamole and chicken quesadillas 
- mac in cheese with meat and roasted veggies on the side
- Phad thai
- frozen pizza with added veggies (artichoke, diced broccoli, spinach, basil)
- chicken lettuce wraps with bbq sauce or fry sauce or peanut sauce or anything else to clean up the fridge
- chicken and veggie fried rice
- lots of the rice with meat and veggies thing...usually with random spices as we slowly clean out the cupboards (and it adds variety)

Answer

I love an easy one pot pasta with meat sauce, veggies and then I throw in pasta and let it cook! Top with cheese!
I love quesadillas with any leftover meat in fridge! 
Marinate chicken and grill on pan and serve with some salad!

Answer

We are having soup for dinner tonight. 
https://pin.it/2RjQfM6
Tomato Tortellini Soup
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese tortellini
2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) reduced-sodium condensed tomato soup
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups half-and-half (Fat free is okay) 
1/2 cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes or two tablespoons sundried tomato paste
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Sauté garlic with the olive oil in a large stock pot until golden brown.  Be sure to keep an eye on it so it doesn't get too brown or burnt.
Add tomato soup, milk, half and half, chicken stock and spices.  Bring to a simmer.  Once simmering, drop noodles into the soup.  Cook according to the package directions.  Mine take about 8 minutes.  
After noodles are cooked, ladle into bowls and top with parmesan cheese and serve with crusty bread.
Enjoy!!!

Answer

We’re vegan but our favorites are taco bowls, marinated tofu (you can find different marinades to change it up and use whatever protein you like) with roasted veggies, pasta with veggies, and black bean bean burgers! We also get local produce baskets delivered weekly so sometimes we get creative based on what we receive! I like it because it forces us to think outside the box.
