  • We do quesadillas too.  One of DH's quick meals is pasta w/ a fried egg on top - not exactly a balanced meal but it works!  Mine fave is pasta w/ broccoli that's been sauteed in olive oil & garlic.  But that requires a little work.  And it's not exactly balanced either unless you want to add some beans (or a fried egg :).

  • Eggs and cheese on toast.  Just like it sounds - toast a slice of bread, top with a slide of cheese, and add an egg (we do scrambled).  Serve open-faced.  We're having it tonight because I'm trying to use our two dozen fresh eggs we were given this weekend.  My kids love it.
  • well, I'm currently eating microwave popcorn for dinner, but that's not exactly kid-safe.

  • Spagetti w/french bread and spinach salad. We eat meatless sauce, because my husband prefers it that way. I often use this recipe.
  • I haven't tried this one yet, but I just put it on my list for next week. Looks like it fits your criteria.

    Spicy Bean Burritos

  • "magic soup" lol! It's just chicken noodle soup made from bouillon, basil, red pepper flakes and pasta. So gourmet ;)
  • imagekimarino13:
    Brown rice & black beans with salsa, cheese, guac (if we have avocados) and sour cream.

    Haha, we do the EXACT same thing...except we require chopped onion in there, too.  We've done it without but really prefer to have them.  :)  This has been our go to since college...

  • If we are excluding meat, then I'd have to say pasta. I usually have frozen tortellin in the freezer that I will toss with tomato sauce or butter/garlic/cheese. I also like to keep the fixin's for pizza around. I like martha white's crust mix, but even the pillsbury refigerated dough isn't bad (and it is a little easier). I always have canned pizza sauce in the pantry and motzarelle in the frige. I usually add a meat, but a veggie pizza is also awesome.
