Don't get me wrong, we still ate (none of us are the type to skip a meal)....we just ate whatever we happened to have around and could put together quickly. In light of that I thought I'd list a few of our go-to dinners so that we don't have to eat out and waste money and we can maintain a more healthy diet.
- Spaghetti
- Stir Fry (with whatever meat & veggies we have around)
- Potstickers, Egg Rolls and Rice
- Sauce Marco Polo (a tuna dish so no thawing necessary)
- Make-your-own-pizzas
- Fettucine Alfredo (I always keep sauce packets on hand in case of emergency)
- Hot dogs
- Hamburgers
- Quesadillas
- Tacos
P.S. We've been better at adhering to a menu starting this week. I will post it shortly.
A summer go to recipe I love is a chicken pasta salad.
ReplyDeleteBroccoli (1 crown or 2)
Cauliflower (1 head)
left over chicken (about a 1/2 to 1lb)
Rotini pasta (or whatever you have on hand)
Mayo
Johnny's seasoning.
Cut veggies, cook, drain,and rinse with cold water the pasta. Mix together, then add desired amount of mayo and seasoning.
Simple to make, and in the summer it is a go to, as we usually have these veggies on hand.
We will definitely try it Michelle, thanks!
