What are your easy go-to meals you can make for +4?
Tacos, crock pot chicken thighs
Nice list - would also recommend giving pizza bagels and chopped chicken caesar wraps a shot for lunch. Regular crowd pleasers for my daughters
Cesar wraps are a good call
Eh, I think I'll just come over to your house....
Lately all I've done is microwave angle hair pasta and put cheese on it... or microwave potatoes, and put cheese on them.... I miss meat but I don't know how to cook it. 😅 Meat is the best.
My husband did make me bacon this morning though, so that was great!
italian bias — homemade sauce, pasta, meatballs
I was nodding along, and then came polenta bacon kale bowls out of left field
That’s a good one, particularly with an egg on top and kale cooked in the bacon fat.
Coarse pesto with pretty much anything: cheese, nut, oil, green herb (e.g., goats cheese, walnuts, basil, olive oil). Quick blend. Takes minutes. I like it with wholemeal pasta and wilted spinach added at end.
Meatloaf. Also an amazing performer.
I have a maple bacon one I do every so often when I have the time and ingredients.
Black bean bowl with salsa, with or without shredded meats.
Bacon and eggs w/ goat cheese every morning
Pancakes/waffles on Saturday
Burgers, steak, sweet potatoes, stews, whole chicken in crock pot, beef orzo pasta, tacos
Will be interesting once the kids start talking what they say lol 😂
-Pasta Aglio e Olio with fried smoked sausage slices -Enchiladas made with sauteed pablano, onion, and seasoned bork(beef/pork blend) and black beans
-Greek salad (cukes, red onion, kalmata olives, green bell pepper, Roma tomatoes, feta, olive oil, red wine vinegar and oregano)
Chuck roast in the crock pot with a jar of tomato sauce and some chicken broth and a bunch of garlic and onions. Any random herbs or spices you have
A big batch of lasagne goes a long way. Also a stack of ground beef patties, can be had on their own, as burgers or with eggs. Curries and slow cooked stews 👌
I second the curries and stews. Great way to fill everyone up!
How is 'Cream cheese bagels and lox' not in your breakfast category?
Kids choice, what can I say 🤷
Breakfast: Stuffed Toast (buttered bread on both sides, use a cup to cut a hole out the middle, pop it in a pan and crack an egg into the hole.)
Lunch: Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.
Dinner:
-Bolognasse and salad
-Bone in chicken thighs and roasted Brussel sprouts.
-Homemade ramen.
Ok this is a bookmark worthy thread!
Very delicious plan 😋
