Except instead of any seasonings, I use Mrs Dash Southwest Chipotle.


I use frozen chopped onions instead of green onions.

I use penne.

I add peas.

[katfco]

Saute any kind of meat, chopped peppers, onions and tomatoes with garlic. Throw in some basil. Mix in some spaghetti sauce and serve over pasta.

[spaghetticat]

Pasta with chicken sausage and frozen spinach.

Skinnytaste Mac and cheese with broccoli.

Panko chicken fingers with sweet potato fries.

[kandrze1]

BBQ Turkey Burgers from Cooking Light
Spaghetti
Grilled Cheese with different cheeses, vegetables, or meat depending what I have 

[formerlyllizzyb]

I'll answer my own poll.

I do a lot of frozen chicken in the crockpot:

Taco seasoning, salsa, black beans, corn--serve on brown rice or in tacos

Chopped onions, BBQ sauce--BBQ chicken sliders

Shredded chicken, parm cheese, Caesar dressing, parsley--serve with spinach leaves in a wrap or sandwich


I also do some variation of grilled meat, brown rice or roasted sweet potatoes, and steamed veggies.

In a pinch, I'll pick up some organic bagged lettuce, a rotisserie chicken, and anything else I would want on a garden salad.

Beef and cheese enchiladas

Tacos

BBQ chicken nachos- grab an already cooked rotisserie chicken from your grocery store and shred it. Place tortilla chips on a baking sheet. Top with shredded chicken, scallions, bacon, shredded cheese, etc. Bake at 350 until melted. Drizzle a sweet BBQ sauce and sour cream and enjoy.

Quesadillas are quick & easy. I also do veggie burgers a lot.

[charmediamsure]

Anytime we have leftover chicken it is quesadilla night.

If we pre-shred cheese then tacos are a quick and easy meal.

Also, breakfast for dinner. I can whip up a batch of scrambled eggs, potatoes, toast, and fresh fruit super fast.

[DesertMoon]

I bake chicken a lot. I use salt pep garlic powder and some seasoned salt. I also rub olive oil on it.

These are all not quick enough for me. Lol

Lately- mac n cheese and hot links, rice and chilli mixed together with sriracha, papa murphy's, taco bell, rotisserie chicken and salad.

Haha, I sound so gross.

The other day I made pesto tortellini, and stir fried some zucchini, squash, red bell pepper, and spinach with garlic, oregano, salt and pepper, and mixed in some milk, butter and a little cream cheese to make a sauce. Put the tortellini on top. It was bomb

[kcsp910]

We do lots of spaghetti, tacos, BLTs, and breakfast for dinner. I like using my crock pot too, but haven't even had time to do that in the mornings.

[redheadk]

Frittata with whatever veggies we have. Last night was onion, carrot, broccoli, green onion, bacon, and Colby jack.

[fryjack2]

Grilled "cheese"- vegan cheese

cereal

home made pizza with veggies- not that fast though

curry tuna sandwiches. A can of tuna, vegan mayo (or regular) and some curry powder to taste. Add in whatever you want in terms of raisin, apples, etc.

Trader Joes microwavable or quick meals like the bag of Japanese edamame rice or veggie spring rolls and veggie wontons.

Chopped cucumber, a can of black beans, and an chopped avocado. Mix together and add some lime juice if you want. YUM. So good. and hearty.

[EmmieB1025]

Tuna melts
Microwave Quiche
Chicken wraps
Grilled brats or burgers
Spaghetti
Tacos

Take out?

I make this for DH and he loves it.  When it's just me, I replace the sausage with tofu.  I'll eat it by itself, throw it over some rice, or throw it in a wrap.

[laurack]

1 meat lump
1 bag frozen veggies
1 bag sweet potato fries (i like the alexia ones. mmm)

If it's a veggie night-
pasta and a jar of veg pasta sauce

Also pizza is quick veggie meal if I use purchased dough. Even if I make my own dough it's not a lot of extra work, just needs to be started the second I get in the door so it can rise.

Last night hubby had a frozen saag lamb meal and I had two bowls of cereal, so that was pretty "quick" lol

[vthokie]

Fried rice. I usually by the fried rice seasoning in the asian aisle because it makes it taste pretty authentic. Then, you can add meats, veggies, and whatever to bulk it up. It also works great if you shred cauliflower instead of using rice.

Tortellini with veggies and a random sauce, sometimes those Philadelphia Cream cheese sauce canister.

Rotesserie chicken into enchiladas, quesadillas, or any number of things.

[shevacc]

Most our weeknight meals are reasonably quick, but for super-fast lazy/busy/sleep deprived days we do:

Tortellini/ravioli with sauce or just butter
Quesadillas (often with leftover chicken)
Frozen Costco lasagna
Costco take-and-bake pizza
Paninis
Salad (with leftover chicken/steak)

If we've planned ahead, we do crock pot pulled pork then freeze some for sandwiches later.

[SteelCity44]

I made a spur of the moment ratatouille last night that turned out pretty good. I had some zucchini that needed eaten, threw in a can of tomatoes, some minced garlic and ground beef. And of course, topped it all with cheese. Micah loved the crap out of that meal.

[rjamz]

Sesame noodles

Skinnytaste broccoli Mac and cheese

Pasta with veggies

Pizza with whatever we have left in the fridge

[starburst604]

Turkey burgers with frozen turkey patties and microwaved sweet potato, whatever frozen green veggie I have.

Lettuce wrap BLTs - separate iceberg leaves, cook/microwave turkey bacon and roll it up with tomato and light mayo or hummus.

Pasta with whatever veggies I need to get rid of, garlic, white wine, seasoning and Romano cheese. Sometimes will throw in leftover ground turkey or chicken.


Those are my big 3 when I'm not up to really cooking.

Oh and cooked quinoa with some steamed veggies with crumbled feta.

[charlielove]

I make sauces and freeze them (pesto and spaghetti sauce) so that makes for a quick pasta dish. I also make pizza with store bought crust for a quick meal.
