military~mommy (896.4 days ago) Lasagna, manicotti, shepards pie, irish stew in the crock pot,chicken stirfry, wow, we try not to eat the same thing too often, and every weekend we pull out a cook book and pick something new to make (we have alot of cook books!).
nutnut (896.7 days ago) chicken noodle soup in the slow cooker, pot roast in the slow cooker jsut throw in taters and veggies and meat set it on low all day long and you have a meal ready to eat when you get home!
sometimes we make chicken and shrimp stir fry in the electric wok. its easy. olive oil, chicken, shrimp, bag of frozen veggies (asian or whatever you like) brown up the chicken first, then add the shrimp and veggies (shrimp need to already be cleaned, cooked and peeled before you put them in. i buy them this way already frozen. i run them under water to thaw prior to heating) just cook until everything is heated through and veggies are as soft as you desire (some like crunchy veggies, we like them a bit softer) you can use soy sauce or terryaki sauce to heat everything up in after the chicken is browed and cooked through. make instant rice or regular rice seperate. thats all there is to it.
shrimp scampi is also easy. buy the precooked, cleaned, peeled shrimp with or without tails (the tails are easy to take off so it doesnt matter) take the shrimp, half a stick of butter, and some olive oil and lots of garlic to taste put in a pan and simmer a bit til everything is nice and hot. toss over angel hair pasta so good so easy. top with parmasan if desired.
tacos are easy to make too and you can use any meat.
you can slow cook any kind of meat with any kind of seasoning you like. ive made everythign from chicken soup, to beef stew, to whole chickens, to beef stroganoff.
we also eat fried ravioli thats good honghuyzhenni. ill make those with rice balls (very time consuming to make)
baked ziti is very easy. 1lb of ziti pasta cooked per dirrections on box, one jar of sauce (or homemade)1lb of cooked ground beef, pork, or turkey, 1lbs of mozzerella cheese cubed or shredded. mix everything together in a baking dish cover and bake 30-45 min or until cheese is melted. if you like add extra shredded cheese to the top, bake covered but for the last 10-15 min uncover for a crisper top.sever with buttered italian bread or garlic bread or toast and a light garden salad.
we also make alot of stuff from cream of mushroom soup. you can find those recipes on the cans of campbells soup themselves they are tasty and simple and make nice winter meals.
ham steaks are easy you just heat them up, you can make a side of home made mac n cheese its easy too. the recipe is on the back of the velvetta cheese package. i rarely use recipes i just go by taste, look and smell. so it hard for me to tell you measurments or give actual recipes.
i love cooking. unfortunatly everything i cook has come from my head, or from generations of family tradition, etc.
reipes.com and the allrecipes. com are really good websites i get alot of ideas from there but i never once followed a recipe word for word LOL.
JustTha5ofUs (896.7 days ago) meatloaf, enchiladas, chili, lasagna, baked spaghetti, cabbage rolls, stuffed bell peppers, or we make boneless chicken with a seasoning bag and seasoning, its green and red, yummy!
luvin Colton (896.8 days ago) i love easy casseroles with rice/pasta at the bottom with veggies and cream of chicken soup add in whatever else you like chicken etc. also easy on the same note is a chicken pot pie . skip the crust just throw in frozen veggies condensed soup meat of choice and bisquick on top ; not exactly home made but in the asian section for something quick and delicious (my dh loooooves this) wanchai ferry sells in a takeout looking box a chicken meal that comes with the rice veggies sauce etc everything to make quality tasting chinese food for 5 , you just dice and add chicken and it cooks in about 10 minutes top, makes a lot and is a special treat for us
jessica (896.8 days ago) My husband loves my ranch fried chicken ( shake N bake )
honghuzhenni (896.9 days ago) You could try something Asian maybe, I LOVE Asian food. Noodles with peanut sauce, fried rice, pumpkin soup, curry...the options are nearly infinite. I made fried ravioli last night and it was really good, that was new for me.
