    I have one for quick and easy and one for lots of work but feeds us forever.

    Quick and easy is to thaw out some pasta sauce that I have in the freezer and serve with the pasta that comes dry in a box or bag.

    The other is to make a chicken from Julia Child's cookbook.  The first day we have chicken and sides (I made that Monday since I was off work).  Then yesterday we had leftovers supplementing with fresh veggies that came from the farmer.  After we were done with dinner, I took all of the meat off of the chicken.  Tonight the leftover bones will be made into chicken stock.  I will use the leftover meat with some broth that I had leftover in the freezer and make chicken and dumplings.  Tomorrow will probably be left overs from tonight.  Friday we have to go out to dinner so I will not cook.  Saturday, I will hand roll some pasta.  I will make the fresh sauce and serve with the pasta.  Sunday I will use some of the leftover pasta and make soup with the stock that I made earlier in the week.

    I do this about once a month.  It makes me feel so domestic.  However, this time I got a chicken from the farmer.  I was not aware that it would still have some of the feathers on it.  DH was surprised that I actually knew how to pluck a chicken.

    I love cowboy caviar!  My go-to recipe is butternut squash lasagna...the recipe is in my head and its slightly different every time:

    Bake a butternut squash and a head of garlic (cut off top, splash on some olive oil, wrap in foil), let them cool, then blend the baked squash and garlic cloves in a Cuisinart with a tub of ricotta, parmesan, and any herbs you like (we love sage or rosemary).  Layer no-boil lasagna noodles (Trader Joe's are pretty good), carmelized onions (I usually throw them in the oven when I bake the squash), and a combo of mozarella/ parmesan, and bake for about an hour at 375. Lots of room for creativity with this.  I've used canned pumpkin instead of squash, and that was good, too!

    I am stealing this.  Some say that squash is good for fertility.  Also, now I am really hungry and my turkey sausage bagle suddenly sounds boring and tasteless.

    Awesome - let me know if you come up with a yummy variation!  I have heard squash is good for fertility, too.

    Crock pot Salsa Chicken -  4 to 6 frozen Chicken breasts (or whatever chicken you want), 1 can of black beans, 1 cup of frozen corn, 2 cups salsa.  Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8.  Very yummy and very easy.

    Because of an EXTREMELY picky DH when it comes to food, my 2 go-to reipes are either simple spaghetti or hamburger stroganoff.  Neither are too complicated and really quick and the biggest plus is the pickiest Italian eater known to man will eat it.
