Dinner Ideas

[Wits_End]

Feels like I've been cooking the same meals for the past 15 years. I'd like to add some new ideas in the rotation. What are your top go to dinners that are reasonably easy. I'm no professional chef but I prefer home cooked meals and cook most nights. I'd prefer minimum dishes and complexity as Id rather be spending time doing other things.

Well what do you find yourself cooking so often so we can give you other ideas

Look up a recipe for blackened catfish lettuce wraps. Buy the fish at the store if you have to.

Bacon wrapped backstrap lightly seasoned with your favorite steak seasoning. Fresh asparagus coated in olive oil and seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Throw the asparagus on the grill when you flip the backstrap steaks. Cook backstrap steaks no more than medium, and asparagus until is softens, but still has some crunch. A little fresh Caesar salad and your good to go!

Sounds like my kind of dinner--

Might just have to do that tomorrow evening since wife is away and I'm on my own.

I made lettuce wraps tonight. Family likes them and they’re super easy.

1 lb of ground turkey or pork( we like turkey)
3/4 small jar of Hoisin sauce
3-4-1 cup shredded carrots
1 bundle of green onion ( cut up)

I like to put Asian chilie paste in mine. It’s pretty Spivey

White or brown rice

Lettuce.

Make a wrap and eat it up. Good stuff.

Fish tacos are also a staple here too

Meal delivery. You pay for so many meals a week, they send you everything you need, and the recipe card, and you cook it yourself. It's great. Saves time on grocery shopping, everything is sent to your house. And if you ever stop doing it, you have all the recipes to make on your own.

Expensive?

I have a very large list on my iPhone of all the meals we enjoy. We always throw in a new meal every week or two. We eat out 1-2 a month and I cook the remainder of the time. These are some of our go-to’s, with all meat being venison besides the occasional ribeye or turkey burger:

Steaks n taters, something green
Fried backstrap, mac n cheese, mashed taters, something green
Meatloaf n taters, something green
Spaghetti, something green
Tortilla soup
Chicken n dumplings
Hotdogs and frito pies
Burgers, fries, something green
Pan seared breakfast pork chops, cabbage, rice
Pan seared pork loin chops, kale, mini golden taters
Fish tacos
Venison tacos
Ritz casserole and salad
Pan seared tilapia, bacon brussel sprouts and rice
Rice n sausage casserole
Taco bake
Enchiladas
Shrimp pasta, bread, salad
Crockpot chicken tacos
Crockpot roast
Crockpot pork chops over rice
Mongolian venison stir fry
Philly cheesesteaks

We always have our favorite frozen pizza in the freezer in case we don’t want to cook.

Not any worse than regular grocery shopping. I want to say it's around $80/week for 8 meals.

For how many people?

I just did a mock plan just to see and it’s $200/wk for my family of 4

That’s 5 meals/wk

Will definitely look into that.
