NBR:Easy dinner ideas???

bethm03

I'm trying to make an attempt to cook and eat at home more often in an effort to be healthier. Anyone have any easy recipes they would like to share?

Mine is salsa chicken-cook in crock pot for 6-8 hours on low.

Put a package of taco seasoning on 1pd. chicken breast in crock pot. Then dump a can of cream of mushroom soup and a jar of salsa and cook.serve with rice and sour cream. Sounds amazing I know But my husband found it online and he loves it! It's not that bad really. We make it in our big crock pot. Tried it in a smaller one and didn't turn out well.

Hmmm, my go-to recipe is actually pretty similar to yours - chicken tortilla soup. Equal parts salsa and chicken broth, 1 or 2 chicken breasts, cooked & shredded, can of corn, can of black beans, sliced up yellow squash if you have it. Heat till it's hot. Serve with tortilla chips, shredded cheddar, sour cream.

We do homemade pizza a lot too. Nothing fancy, just crust mix that comes in a bag, jar of sauce, cheese & pepperoni. I love using our baking stone for it.

Cut chicken breasts into strips (think fajitas) and saute until they are cooked through and are browned (I like mine a little on the crunchy side). Remove from heat and toss with Frank's Buffalo Sauce. Wrap, with diced celery, lettuce, and blue cheese dressing, in warm tortillas. So easy, and so good!

Things we make regularly include:

• Pasta with meat sauce (brown ground beef, add jar sauce and simmer)
• Pork chops marinated in BBQ sauce on the grill with rice and a veg
• Chicken Fajitas (rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, sauteed peppers and onions with cheese on a tortilla). 

Tonight's dinner is Pasta Fagioli soup in the crock pot from this recipe.

We do a lot on the grill.  Steaks, pork, chicken....  Just a little salt+pepper and grill away.  I also toss veggies in EVOO and garlic powder (carrots, broccoli, whatever) and wrap them in tinfoil and out that on the grill too while the meat cooks.  We also eat the steam-fresh bags of veggies - corn is my fav.  The rice is decent too.  And we always have a salad with dinner.  It's habit now.  All that would take 10, maybe 15 minutes to make.
