Dinner Recipes

lalee115

I need some good ideas for dinner recipes for a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy. Fiance and I are both on this journey together, and due to work schedules we only get a day or two a week together. This weekend, he is coming over and asked me if I'd cook for us. I love to cook and know a few calorie-friendly things to make, but I need something new.

He is red meat all the way but will eat chicken also. Not a huge fan of seafood. (But I welcome any suggestion, as I personally love chicken and shrimp and fish!)

You might indicate a calorie amount, prep time you are looking for to get better responses.

Thanks! Prep time isn't super important. I will be home all day Saturday and half Friday while he works so I have time.

As for calories.... I don't know, maybe shoot for 800 max? I am at 1490 per day and am a grazer. 800-900 is typically what I have by dinnertime. I think he gets 1650 a day or something close.

I did think about this one! Pot roast in the crock pot is so ridiculously easy.

I'm making cheeseburgers (with real beef and full-fat cheese) tonight; you can check my diary to see how I do it for myself, then just make his bigger or put it on a real bun or whatever.
