Quick, easy dishes for dinner?

Quick, easy dishes for dinner I am one of those people when I get home from work, or when my husband and I get home from work, the last thing we want to do is cook. We are so hungry we just want to eat...well NOW. People have told me they cook a lot on sundays so they have left overs during the week.

Can anyone recommend some quick and easy chicken, tuna casserole, hamburger meat recipes for dinner? I am a picky eater...my husband wishes I wasn't but I have been for as long as I can remember. Bottom line something to make for dinner that is healthy, good and takes under 30 minutes let's say...thanks!

I am a big fan of cooking on Sundays I’m like you. By the time I leave work, pick up my daughter and get home, I don’t want to think about what to make for dinner. It is great to have meals ready to go, but that requires some advance planning.

Here are some links to recipes for one pot meals: Cuban Chicken & Yellow rice. This is yummy! food.ivillage.com/recipefinder/display/0... Chicken provencal: countryliving.com/recipefinder/recipe/Ch... Stews: findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1608/is_... Since it is still grilling season, I will make a fire (we use real charcoal) and will cook sausage, chicken, and pork for the week.

I take it off the grill and portion out the food into plastic containers and freeze. When I come home work all I need to do is microwave the meat, whip up a frozen veggie and either a microwave rice or instant potatoes and we have a meal. I might make a salad instead.

Anyway, it is a great way to get your cooking in all at once. We love soup in my house, so I will throw a pot of soup up to cook on a sunday so that I can have it either as lunches for the week or a meal with a salad on the side for dinner. Crock pots are great too.

Toss some beef or chicken in there with veggies and potatoes and you’ll have a nice hot meal waiting for when you get home. Casseroles: prep these on the weekend too so all you’ll have to do is pop it into the oven when you get home. Tuna Casserole Boil pasta -undercook by two minutes from the package directions (whatever kind you like, we usually use elbows or small shells) 1 can cream soup 1/2 can milk 1/2 cup mayo 1/4 cup onion 1 can peas 2 cans of tuna (I actually don't like tuna and used canned white meat chicken) 1 cup shredded cheese Just mix everything together, top with cheese and bake for about 25-30 minutes at 350 Degrees.

I usually add a small can of mushrooms also. I like to take ground beef and make mini meatballs. I cook them in brown gravy and serve with wide egg noodles with carrots.

Mini Meatball Recipe 1 pound lean ground beef 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs 1/4 cup milk 2 tablespoons chives or scallions 1 teaspoon dijon mustard 1 teaspoon soy sauce 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 2 jars brown gravy (I usually buy Heinz) In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, chives, mustard, soy sauce and pepper. Mix well to blend flavours. With hands, roll 1 Tablespoon at a time into balls.

Put a dutch oven on the stove and pour brown gravy into the pot. Add raw meatballs to the sauce. Cook over a medium heat for about 30 minutes.

Boil water for pasta and then use the meatballs and brown gravy as the sauce for your pasta. I like to eat this with carrots as a side dish. If you like chili, it comes out great in the crock pot.

You can just cook it over the stove too. Chili 1 pound ground turkey, beef, chicken or pork (I've made all of these. All are good, but it comes out different) 1 cup chopped onion 2 large garlic cloves, chopped 1/2 cup green peppers, diced 1/2 cup chicken broth 1 teaspoon dried cumin 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 can refried beans 1 15 to 16oz cans of kidney beans (not drained) 1 can diced tomatoes with jalapenos Feel free to add any hot peppers if you like to the recipe In a large skillet, brown your ground meat and drain.

Add all ingredients to the pot except the can of refried beans. Cover and cook on low 2 hours. Add refried beans to chili for thickening.

The keys are early prep, and semi-homemade :) Here are my tips for you for getting dinner on the table quickly. First, do as much prep as possible ahead of time. Here are some examples: When you buy boneless, skinless chicken breasts, as soon as you get home, open the package, trim the meat, and package together in the quantities you usually use (for example, if you’re cooking for two, put 2 chicken breasts in one package).

Do the same with all meat. A lot of veggies can be pre-cut in the morning or night before, especially peppers, green beans, carrots. Slow-cooker meals are great as you do all your prep in the morning and it’s ready (or almost ready) as soon as you get home.

Make doubles of meals and freeze the second...when you’re ready to eat it, just throw it in the fridge the night before, and bake it when you get home. If you’re willing to eat leftovers, make a big meal and then you can have leftovers (pretty much no work) the next night. Second tip: one word...semi-homemade.

Here are some examples: Instead of making homemade mashed potatoes to go with your dinner, use the refrigerated tubs of mashed potatoes they now sell. There are delicious frozen veggie mixes available now. Some are plain...good for using in soups or stews instead of cutting all different veggies.

Some have fabulous sauces which make them perfect no-work side dishes. Rice now comes in microwavable packets (so it’s ready in 90 seconds instead of 30 minutes, and you didn’t have to dirty a pot). Buy pre-shredded cheese instead of shredding your own.

Okay, here are some recipe ideas for you to try that I think would fit your criteria of quick and easy. Lemon Butter Chicken Do all the prep work (cutting chicken, get it sitting in marinade) in the morning and leave it in the fridge all day. Then you can just throw it in the oven when you get home and cook some rice and a veggie for sides.It's based on this recipe, but here it is with my changes.

INGREDIENTS 1 tablespoon butter, melted 1/3 cup Italian salad dressing 1 lemon, zested and juiced 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips lemon pepper to taste garlic powder to taste onion powder to taste DIRECTIONS Place all ingredients into a ziplock bag, shake to combine, and refrigerate (or freeze). Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour contents of the ziplock bag into a baking dish.

Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken juices run clear. __________________________ Black Bean Quesadillas Ingredients: 1 bell pepper 1 onion 4 large tortillas 1 can black beans shredded cheddar/pepper jack/whatever cheese you like butter or olive oil Optional: salsa, sour cream, avocado Directions: Cut up pepper and onions and saute in butter or olive oil. Rinse black beans under hot water.

In large skillet over medium low heat, place one tortilla. Top with cheese, black beans, and sauteed veggies. Add another tortilla on top.

Cook approx 3 minutes, flip and cook an additional 3 minutes until cheese is melted. Top with salsa, sour cream, and/or avocado if desired. ________________________________ Dinner salad Buy a bag of salad mix, presliced mushroom, grape tomatoes, and pre-sliced peppers.

Wash all veggies and place in a bowl. Top with some of that pre-cooked, pre-sliced "short cuts" chicken you can find in the refrigerated section of the supermarket. Add salad dressing of your choice.

________________________________ Spaghetti and Meat Balls Buy a box of the pre-made refrigerated meatballs (I'm partial to the turkey ones). Place in a pot with a jar of sauce and heat according to package directions. They take about the same amount of time as the spaghetti takes, so you can have dinner in ~15 minutes.

Serve with bread and parmesan cheese. If you're feeling bold, you can make a big batch of home made meatballs on a weekend. Make meatball subs one day, then have spaghetti and meat balls with the leftovers.

Check it out as freezable meals are a good way to avoid cooking on work days...do your cooking on weekends. _________________________________ Here are some links to fabulous slow cooker recipes.

You can get all your cooking done in the morning and come home to a delightful smell and a meal all ready to eat! Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken (only use 4 chicken breasts...I find it gets dry if I use 6). Chicken Tortilla Soup Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff (I always make a double batch.

If you have time, you may want to let the cream cheese sit at room temp for 10 minutes before adding as it mixes in better that way). ________________________________ Hope these ideas get you started.My final tip is to have a plan. Write down the meals you're going to eat during the week, shop to make sure you have all ingredients on hand.

This will help a ton as when you get home, you won't have to spend time looking through ingredients and deciding what to make...you can just get going. Happy cooking! Sources: my experience, www.allrecipes.com .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
