fresh spinach is great in a bowl with a hot soup over it. I also think of it as my "bed" for most of my pasta plates. Spinach on the plate with a drizzle of olive oil, a splatter of water with my fingers and in the microwave for 20 seconds then the meal goes on top of it. Yummy0 -
I have a few! We have two adults and three kids, ages 6 to 18, so these are all my family friendly go-to meals:
-Salad bar with whatever I have (cheeses, grilled chicken breast/grilled beef, vegetables, fruit, nuts) and homemade dressing
-Taco bar (tortillas for some, taco salad for others). I usually sneak lentils into the taco meat... They have a similar texture to ground beef when cooked
-Chicken breast plus marinade and/or seasoning on the grill pan plus veggie plus rice or pasta and maybe a light pan sauce--possibilities are endless!
-Chili--easy to cut fat and calories and nobody ever complains
-Soup night! I have a few that I rotate according to what's in the fridge... Broccoli beer cheese and super-diet vegetable soup are favorites. Go figure on the last one!
Edited to add: omelets! Spinach, mushroom and cheddar is my favorite0 -
Egg tacos: corn tortillas and over easy eggs, a little cheese or bacon if I have it. Maybe this is weird, but I love it.0
-
Lean ground beef (usually 93-97%) tossed with tzatziki sauce over raw spinach and served with green split pea soup on the side
So good! 0 -
Baked fish and roasted vegetables0

Today I treated myself with two huge scallops, so I took one and cut it up in bite size pieces, with zucchini, and some shitake golden oat mushrooms.
browned the mushrooms and zuchinni in 2 T of olive oil, added some chicken stock 1 tsp with 2 cups of water. Then I put in the scallop pieces and waited until they got firmer. Put in bowl and put 1/2 T parmesan cheese. I also had 16 oz of Stella Artouis beer....my bad...but it was sooo good.0 -
Tonight is southwest chicken chili. I basically can only cook in a crock pot LOL. I'm not a skilled chef.
0 -
That southwest chili looks great!
My go to is usually taco salad with either ground venison or ground turkey.0 -
Rotisserie chicken is my go to protein. Veggies and starch sides vary, depending on what's in the fridge or at a nearby salad bar0
-
My favorite quick and dirty meal when it's just me is a Morningstar Farms spicy black bean burger topped with a slice of cheese and an over easy egg.0
-
Vegan pho from my local noodle house. It's a huge bowl filled with steamed broccoli, carrots, cabbage and other goodies, plus tofu for a little protein. Delicious and totally filling for lunch, and at 210 calories it leaves me room for a bigger dinner or an afternoon snack.
I eat soup a lot at home, too. I make a big pot or even two on the weekends so that we always have something good, quick and filling in the fridge.0 -
