Re: Post your favorite 'Easy Dinner' recipes

For salmon I bought KC masterpiece Lemon pepper marinade and I put it on salmon and then add a little lemon, fresh herbs, Mrs. Dash etc and either forman grill it or bake and then broil it.
Sometimes I buy deli roast beef or turkey and nuke it with gravy and make stove top stuffing and bagged salad. I also make Manwich (sloppy Joes), beef pasta hamburger Helper (7 points in 1 cup in Weight Watchers)
Goulash-

Beef stew meat
2 small cans of tom sauce
salt and pepper to taste
handful baby carrots
diced onion
paprika to taste
Brown meat in pressure cooker dump in all ingredients add water to cover, pressure cook 18-20 min and serve over wide noodles.
Enjoy!

almost every day we eat grilled (insert various type of meat here ) cooked on the George Foreman grill. Simple, quick, and good. For fast meal ideas, try and catch 30 minute meals on the food network. She makes an entire meal in thirty minutes, and she's always giving tips to help you get out of the kitchen faster.

I made Turkey Chili last night and it was so good

1 medium-large onion
1 pound turkey (or meat of you prefer it)
1 can dark red kidney beans
1 can stewed tomatoes (14.5 oz)
1/2 can tomato sauce (8 oz can)
1 package chili seasoning

dice onion and fry until golden brown
add meat and brown
add all other ingredients and simmer for about 15-20 minutes


* if you prefer it spicy, you could add some hot sauce
I serve it over rice

This makes at least 6-8 servings

Easy and delicious

Sloppy joes. 1-2 lbs of chopped meat cooked until brown.Add can of sloppy joe mix. Cook for a few more minutes.Slap on pieces of bread or hamburger buns.

Re: Post your favorite 'Easy Dinner' recipes

dkag1026 - That sounds delicious! Unfortunately Dh would kill me if I made it. On the weekdays, he likes to eat healthy (I have to hide the amount of butter or oil in things). Plus he is Lactose intolerant! No heavy cream for him! It stinks because I love cream sauces but rarely make them (I guess it is good for the waistline though).

Re: Post your favorite 'Easy Dinner' recipes

bridetobe - make it for yourself then and sneak it for lunch when DH is not around..LOL...trust me, it's worth it!!

Re: Post your favorite 'Easy Dinner' recipes

I also make a great (and fast) beef stroganoff that FH loves. Also, he is happy w/ marinating chicken breasts in Italian dsg and either grilling or broiling them.
