go to dinner

just curious what your favorite go to meal is on a night you don't feel like cooking or are busy running kids around or going to mutual or other things like that.

Mine is usually homemade mac and cheese.  It;s not my favorite, but the kids love it and i usually roast lots of veggies or have a tossed salad and some fruit to go with it.

I either do those mini meatloaves or that quick fettuccini I posted a while back. I cook chicken in big batches then shred it and freeze it so I always have it in hand.

hmmm...i haven't commented to this yet because i don't think we have a "go to" dinner.

i guess we do spaghetti sometimes when nothing else is planned. i don't love spaghetti, but andy does. i just use store bought sauce (+ground meat) and add some brown sugar and red pepper flakes to the mix.

in the winter, sometimes it's chili or homemade tomato soup w/ grilled cheese.

for a while i was on a quinoa and roasted veggie bowl kick. i'd roast whatever veg i had on hand + quinoa + balsamic vinegar or lemon juice + evoo + some beans sometimes. i mostly just ate it when andy was at work. he's not a quinoa lover. i thought it was my best made up dish yet.

not many ideas from me, but i would love some. we go out too much when we don't have something planned.

One of my go to meal is plain old baked chicken breast (or grilled in the summer). Slab some BBQ sauce o whatever sauce you want towards the end of baking. Super easy. I also do scrambled eggs o tuna Sammy's
