My go to weekend meal is Whole wheat pasta with whatever-is-came-out-of-the-garden sauce topped with a little chicken breast, capers, garlic, and freshly grated Romano pecorino cheese. Never fails to please.

My go to meal is spaghetti with meatballs, salad and garlic bread.. I make the sauce and meatballs ahead of time and freeze perfect for quick healthy dinners during the week!

Good Healthy food is what i like and need being a Diabetic

Tender, juicy and always delicious..pan fried pork chops with pan gravy, garlic smashed potatoes, with fresh shucked corn. all of this in less than 30 minutes.

My favorite “go to” weeknight meal is grilled chicken with sauteed vegetables.

My FAVE weeknight meal is Creamy Herb Chicken! It is chicken breasts in a homemade mushroom cream sauce and baked. It is so amazing. It has fresh lemon zest and fresh herbs. You won’t ever eat sauce out of a can again.

My favorite meal is steaks. I grill them for my wife and I in the foreman grill. Then I make homemade garlic mashed potatoes and my wife.makes a veggie!

One? I have to pick one! Any combination of baked or stir fried chicken. Basmati or pasta and brocolli or mixed veggies. I use whatever juices or spices or sauces are on hand. It’s a different meal every time but the flavors always change. Or Yankee Pot Roast or Chili in the slow cooker. Or….. LOL

Love some lemon chicken with capers and mushrooms on a nice rice. In all honesty I love food so I guess I should say anything that is edible!!!!

My favorite weeknight meal is Baked Chicken with steamed vegetables.

Congrats on the new book! My favorite weeknight “go to” meal is a home-made thin crust pizza topped with sauteed broccoli, onions, mushrooms, crushed red pepper flakes, tomato sauce and a light sprinkling of grated cheese, served with a small green salad on the side. My husband and I eat it practically every week! Occasionally we vary the toppings by including crumbled vegetarian sausage patties, cooked ground beef or left-over grilled chicken, but this veggie mix is our favorite “go to” combo.

Our go-to meal is Bourbon chicken, which oddly enough, has no bourbon in it. It does, however, have lots of ingredients that we have on hand.

My favorite weeknight meal is homemade Mac & Cheese! My daughter makes a homemade Ranch Mac & Cheese. It is made with a Ranch packet and Saltines and is the best I’ve ever had!

Spaghetti

This looks like a fantastic cookbook.
My favorite weeknight meal is tacos. Quick, easy and everyone loves them because they get to make them the way they like!

Looks like some GREAT recipes! It’s a tough choice…they all sound yummy, but today I’ll say the meatballs sound like a good choice.

Love the cookbook concept. One of our standard weekday meals is beef fusilli with whatever vegetable looked most appealing at the vegetable store.

My favorite weeknight recipe is red chile chicken with rice and black beans – all cooked in one pot. Super easy!

My favorite go-to-meal is whatever pasta is handy, mixed with sauteed onions, pine nuts, garlic, tomatoes, olive oil mixed with whatever meat is handy–chicken, meatballs, etc.

Maple bbq salmon with bok choy and garlic mash.

One of my favorite go to meals – Hot Waffles with whatever leftover meat is in the fridge just very slightly warmed (just enough to melt any risudal fat). the combo of hot fresh waffles and almost cold meat is great, sliced cukes and tomatoes in summer or pickles in winter completes the contrasting tastes and textures.

I’ve found that Super Wraps heal all ‘don’t feel like cooking’ ills at our house! We use whatever, and as long as we put it in semi-careful layers, roll it up tight and cut it so it looks like fancy little sushi rolls, pretty much everyone loves it. We use chicken, turkey, cream cheese, salsa, peanut/almond butter, jam, eggs, cheese – anything, and a little bit of fresh fruit or veggies in there somehow brightens it up.

Sounds like a great cookbook filled with inspiring things to cook. One of my favorite go to weeknight meals is homemade tomato soup. Hubby and son love it when I make it. It’s really easy and fast. I use a quart of my home canned tomatoes but you could use store bought canned. To that I had a hunk of butter and some black pepper. In a pint sized jar I mix either milk, 1/2 and 1/2 or heavy cream depending on extravagant I feel, about a cup of either, with about a 1/4 cup flour. I screw on the lid and give it a good shake or sometimes I whirl it up with my immersion blender. Then pour it into the tomatoes and butter and bring to a slight boil. Turn it down and let it simmer for a little while and enjoy. Hubby and son mix crackers and mayo in their bowl but I usually just eat mine plain or with a few crackers. Goes great with a grilled cheese.

My to go weeknight meal is Teryiaki Chicken, the recipe is easy,and I love the vegetables mixed with chicken and pasta. There are many different recipes to choose from, and I guess the best one could be inside of that wonderful new book of yours!

Pasta with olive oil, basil, chopped tomatoes, and some parmesan cheese

The book looks wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My go to meal is a casserole ANY kind of casserole.Chicken and rice,mac and cheese ,stuffed peppers, Lasagna,tater tot you name it we go to it………
Yummy!
,

My favorite go to meal would have to be pasta alfredo with grilled boneless chicken breast (love my george forman) and chopped broccoli. yummy!!!

My go to meal is homemade pizza. I always have homemade crust in the freezer and I can use up any leftover veggies before they go bad!

My favorite weekday after work meal idea is to go to a friend’s house and hope they’ve cooked something great! If that’s not happening I like to get already-cooked meat (chicken, turkey, roast beef) from Harvest Market and add it to salad made of vegetables and leftovers. And the real, honest-to-goodness answer is crunchy peanut butter and grape jelly!

My go-to easy weeknight meal is Lemony Tuna Pasta. It comes together in just 15 minutes, and is my fall-back meal when I don’t feel like cooking!

My go-to meal in the summer is a fresh garden salad and in the winter is soup and cheese sandwich. Hubby does the cooking during the summer, I cook during the school year. This year we’re getting healthier so the grilled cheese sandwiches may have to go ….

For summer, I love backed lemon chicken breast with either cooked spinach or spinach salad.
For winter, I love spaghetti – I have a sauce recipe that I cook in a large quantity and freeze it so when I need it, I have it ready! I usually have garlic bread and light romaine lettuce salad to go with it.

I like a simple chicken salad, complete with ranch dressing and shredded cheese!

brittany_tucker@aol.com

My favorite weeknight meal is a simple stir fry like Almond Chicken or Beef and Broccoli Stir fry. Serve with Basmati Rice.

One of my favorite go to weeknight meals would be pasta with spinach, garlic and sundried tomatoes then topped with roasted pine nuts and parmesan cheese.. delicious..

Our favorite go-to meal: veggie burritos! We use whole wheat tortillas, and fill them with a mixture of sauteed onion, pepper, carrot, zucchini, and black beans. We throw a little spinach and some grated cheddar cheese on top, and cook them at 350 for 10 minutes. My husband splashes a little hot sauce on his for extra spice. Our 1-yr old loves them too!

Anything pasta is my to-go meal. Whether it is ravioli, tortellini, or just pasta with veggies.

My favorite go to meal is pasta. I can always make a quick sauce and add veggies and cheese and eat it like so or I can put it in the oven for a casserole with chicken or beef. Mooreorlesscooking blog.

fast, healthy and family friendly…. chicken tacos <3

Quesadillas with fresh guacamole!

When unexpected guests show up at dinnertime I go to spagetthi and meatballs, salad ( with whatever is available) and garlic bread. Preparation is easy, ingredients are on hand and I can still visit with my guests,

I love to broil chicken in the oven, and put it over a bed of greens with feta, pecans and sliced strawberries… with poppyseed dressing :) DELECTABLE and sooooo easy and fast!

My favorite go-to weeknight meal is fried rice with tofu and steamed broccoli. It’s so easy and quick to pull together and you can add whatever other leftover veggies you have in the fridge!!

We love to make oven-roasted sweet potato slices and grilled chorizo sausage over arugula with a lemony vinagrette for an easy, filling go-to meal!

My favorite weeknight meal is tostadas….usually black bean and chicken. Sometimes just cheese. My favorite is black bean and sweet potato.

I live in FL where seafood and shrimp are easy to get fresh. I’ll buy the shrimp in bulk, separate them into 1lb bags and then freeze them. My favorite go to meal is peel and eat shrimp, with homemade cocktail sauce (horseradish, ketchup, lemon juice and worcestershire sauce) and a fresh salad. Takes 15 minutes out of the freezer, it’s very healthy, and my family thinks its a treat!

My favorite is lemon pasta with fresh parm and chopped basil. So easy and my kids LOVE it!

roasted chicken breasts (on the bone), steamed broccoli and rice. It can feed one child at 5:30 pm and still be fresh for the child that doesn’t get home until 7:30 pm (cut broccoli is steamed separately for each child!)

My go to meal is chicken marsala. It’s quick, easy & tasty!

We love chicken fixed just about anyway. I try to keep it healthy most nights. Just a pan sear on a boneless, skinless breast with a Cesar salad. I make bread almost every weekend, so its easy to slice some up and brush with garlic and broil or grill. Quick and tasty!

My favorite fast home cooked meal is breaded pork minute steaks. In Germany we call them Schnitzel. If I’m real lazy I just make Couscous and some Zucchinis. If I have more time I make Baked potatoes and a mushroom sauce.
But Spaghetti with ham and Gorgonzola cheese in a cream sauce is a fast and yummy crowd pleaser, too.

My go to meal is chicken breasts covered with salsa in the slow cooker. Served with tortillas, sour cream and cheese. Throw some rice in the rice cooker…easy peasy.

I go to a pizza–that I make–grilled steak or chicken, hearty tomato sauce, lowfat cheese and veggies!

My favorite is pasta…. saute some veggies, add a can of diced tomatoes, a couple spices, some whole wheat pasta and I’m ready

My go to meal is a French Dip. Fast and easy!

I would love this!
My go-to lately has been chicken; a few months ago it was usually eggs for dinner. Just trying to up my protein since I usually have a huge salad for lunch!

We have so many favs, but one is Chicken Spaghetti ! I would love to win this cook book to go along with my collection of other cookbooks I already have! Thank you for the chance! :)

Probably Spaghetti with meatsauce….kids will always eat it no matter what! Plus they have so much fun with all the different shapes of pastas! Thank you!

Our favorite family approved go-to weekly staple meal would be pasta with my homemade sauce (carrots, onion, celery sauteed, and cream blended and tossed atop any pasta-we use linguine, but is to die for with ravioli. Freezes well for easy future meals as well.

Breakfast for supper!
When in a hurry, or I don’t know what else to make, I can always rely on omlettes. It’s also a good way to use up leftover meats and veggies

.

Anything with shrimp and rice. Pop the rice in the rice cooker, press the button, and there’s enough time to toss the shrimp in a nice quick marinade or sauce, slice some fruit or make a quick salad before grilling the shrimp, just in time to serve the steamed rice.

I love to make easy chicken enchiladas from start to finish about 40 minutes.

My favorite go to meal for weeknights is pasta of any kind …. I love recipe books and I am looking forward to seeing this one … Thanks for a chance to win

I have two favorite go to meals…

1)Pulled BBQ Chicken sandwiches. I love these because a)I always have the stuff on hand, b) you don’t have to plan since you can throw the chicken breasts in the crock pot frozen and c)we LOVE them and they taste different each time depending what I top them with:)
Throw 2-3 chicken breasts in a crock pot with an onion, cut into wedges, 2 minced garlic cloves and a can of Dr Pepper. Cook on med-low for 6 hours. Shred with fork and mix with favorite BBQ sauce. Here is a picture of what they look like along with topping suggestions…

http://realmomsrealdinners.blogspot.com/2010/12/crock-pot-bbq-pulled-chicken-sandwiches.html

2. Caprese Chicken. Basically I marinate chicken in italian dressing and italian seasonings all day in the fridge. Then I pan sear and bake for 12 mins at 500 degrees. I top with a thick slice of fresh mozzarella cheese, slice of tomato and fresh basil and drizzle balsamic dressing over the top. Healthy, amazing and great since I have tomatoes and basil in my garden… now if only I could grow a mozzarella plant! :)

LOVE YOUR BLOG!!

Lentil soup with a little curry and some chicken or any variety of quality sausage added and a piece of Cafe Beaujolais Austrian Sunflower Bread. Any wonderful crusty bread will do with a dab of sweet butter or olive oil.

We eat such a variety of foods, there isn’t one “go-to” meal. A couple of our favorites (when pressed for time) are Black Bean and Corn Stew – and White Bean and Chicken Chili. Both are quick, yet very tasty!

We love taco salad!

Having two teenager who play sports, we are constantly on the run. Spaghetti with garlic bread is easy and the kids love it.

My favorite go to meal for during the week is Breakfast. I love to make egg and cheese bagel sandwiches on blueberry bagels. I usually baste the eggs so they’re nice and runny. The combination of the runny yolk with the sweet blueberry bagels….Mmmmm…sweet and salty heaven!!

My favorite, and definitely the easiest, is to stir fry whatever veggies I have in the fridge, which is usually a LOT, and toss them with whole-wheat rotini cooked in chicken stock. Takes about 15 minutes in total, and is quick, delicious and healthy! Thanks for a chance to win your giveaway!! <3

My favorite go to meal is Stir-Fry Chicken. Add celery, carrots, onions – whatever fresh greens I have in the house and serve over rice or noodles. For a little flair , I’ll add pineapple :)

My favorite is quiche. Quick to get in the oven, using a ready-made pie crust.

Pan eared tilapia with wild rice & Italian green beans

My week night go-to meal is hamburgers! Eat Beef!

Our favorite is a quick cheesy pizza!

Home made pizza is the go to dinner. When I leave work and pick up my lil man from the after school program it is the best thing to make. While we are waiting we can do the homework and reading and take a bath. So this affords us some extra time to get things done.

My go-to weeknight meal is a quick hearty-lentil soup with basmati rice and whole wheat flat bread. Its healthy, takes no time and my husband and daughter love it!!

My favorite go to meal is family pizza nite. This is where we all make our own mini pizza’s just the way we like it. My husband has been out of work for 9 months and we have been on a really tight budget, to say the least. I can make pizza and feed a family of four, for about a total of $6.00 and by doing so my kids don’t feel like they are missing out on anything.

My favorite “go to” last minute meal: Cook a box of mac & chesse per instructions. Heat a can of drained french-style green beans, a can of drained chicken breast and 2t of Cavender’s Greek seasoning for 2 minutes in the microwave. Mix everything together and serve. It gives gives the carbs my busy family needs, protein and vegi! I’d love a copy of your cookbook!

Taco night! Hard or soft shelled, and a pan of enchiladas with half of the ground beef. Everyone always likes it. We could eat mexican twice a week at least.

Lately my standby has been a salad, and pork chops w/ Israeli couscous

Since I didn’t feel lucky, I ordered the cookbook from Amazon and it showed up yesterday. Tonight’s dinner will be Orzo w/Spinach & Peas to go with grilled pork tenderlion. The book is well designed with very user friendly recipes. Congrats Laura!

Good old spaghetti.

Our favorite go to meal is tofu burritos with roasted sweet potatoes….yummmm!

Yassas!
Greek Spinach and Rice It’s quick and healthy!!! I always keep rice in my pantry and frozen or fresh spinach in my refrigerator. GREAT for drop by company..

I am enjoying reading the other comments and picking up some ideas!! I have to go to meals on busy nights, a quick pasta dish or a wrap with a side of veggies!

MooreorLesscooking Food Blog

My go to meal is Cheese Steak- I will be blogging it- everyone is always happy at the dinner table!

My go to meal is Shrimp and Grits. I’ve always considered breakfast for dinner a go to meal but over the years, Shrimp and Grits seems to be the choice of the family, especially in the cooler months.

Omelets with whatever I have in the fridge. My husband calls me the one pot girl.

My go to weekend meal is “Pizza Margherita”. I use my home grown tomatoes and basil from the yard. Soooooo good. It’s VERY hard to go back to pizza with a sauce after having this!

My favorite go to meal would be farfalle pasta with chorizo and broccoli rabe. So easy to make and so delicious!

My favorite go to is Turkey Tacos. Can you the leftover the next night for quesadillas. My kids love both and it is easy!

My favorite go to meal is pizza roll… great as a leftover.. if there ever is any!!!!

My favorite go to weekday meal is microwave talapia filets with lemon juice and a side tossed salad. I love cookbooks and collect them. Thanks for your giveaway cookbook with great recipes.

My weeknight go-to meal is pasta or take-out. Since my sons left for college last month I’m really making an effort to learn how to cook and could use all the help I can get.

Our favorite meal, is whole wheat pasta, shrimp, red peppers, fresh mushrooms, onions, and snap peas. Stir fry veggies while cooking pasta. Add a light alfredo sauce to the dish, toss and serve.

Sunday Roasted Chicken…on Wednesday. Sometimes you just need Sunday comfort in the middle of the week. :)

My favorite weeknight go to is stir fry! You can’t go wrong. You can either use what’s already in the fridge for leftovers or start with all fresh ingredients. I can usually whip up a tasty stir fry in under 30 minutes, fresh rice and all!

My go to weeknight meal is chorizo con huevos with cilantro, green onion and lime juice on corn tortillas!

Pasta for sure.

Since I work all week, and my near-adult son’s in school, weeknight meals are generally a collection of either pre-frozen single portions (ranging from meats to pastas to pancakes!), usually served with steamed veggies and occasionally an artisan garlic bread. We’ve got a variety of proteins and sides weighed out, flash frozen when possible, and individually packaged so that either of us can just come home, open the freezer, and pop something in the microwave, wok, skillet, or oven. Even 30-minute meals taste better after only 10 minutes at the end of a long, crazy day!

Chicken Picatta!

My favorite go to meal is meat loaf with mashed potatoes and gravy. I love many of the recipes you have posted on the internet also. Thank you,

I am always looking for new meals for the family! this would be awesome!

My favorite go to meal is beef and cheddar enchiladas OR mexican lasagna! Full of flavor and filling! The entire family enjoys!

My favorite go to meal is turkey tacos and mexican rice. So easy and delish!!

My yummy go to meal is Chicken Adobo with Jasmine rice……mmmmm mmmmm good!

Favorite go to week night (or weekend) meal is Thai Red Curry….red curry paste, coconut milk, chicken and veggies over brown rice. It is my FAVORITE and makes great leftovers for lunch the next day.

My fav go to meal is chicken and broccoli whole wheat pasta with garlic bread! My kids love it!!

My favorite go to weekday meal is spaghetti and meatballs with a simple homemade marinara sauce.

We are middle aged students trying to keep up with kids much younger than us. On School nights we don’t get home until 9:30. My got to menu on those nights comes in two parts, I try to pack some cubed cheese, and meat and some vegtables along with some homemade garlic croutons (easier to manage than crackers) when we get home I like to have something in the crockpot, one of our favorites is chicken breasts with a variety of vegtables, with the chill in the air we are using more root vegtables such as turnips and sweetpotatoes.

Depends on who you ask. For me it is confetti alfredo (lots of veggies and the kids still love it). My husband it is certainly steak. The kids would be happy with hotdogs and mac and cheese though.

My favorite go to meal is texas style chili with beans. We like it plain, with parmasan cheese, with shredded cheddar cheese, over spaghetti, over macaroni, with crackers, with peanut butter sandwiches or over hot dogs with shredded cheese. The great thing is, it’s better the next day and so easy to reheat.

My favorite go to weeknight meal is boneless chicken breasts covered with pesto and baked. It makes a lovely sauce for rice or noodles. Add a tossed salad, and you’re good to go..

mmm yum yum please give me one luv your dishes are so delicious

I love making my potato leek soup with chicken. Just boil a few potatoes in chicken broth (organic preferably). Sauté 2 big leeks, white and light green parts only, in a bit of butter until caramelized. Once all is done, let cool slightly then blend in the blender. Brown 2 chicken breasts then dice and put in soup. Serve with warm bread. Soooo yummy!!!

My favorite “go to” easy weeknight meal is a one-skillet dish consisting of fresh veggies chopped in large (bite-sized) pieces, cooked al dente. I start with a little olive oil, cook some “chunks’ of onion, potatoes and carrots. Then I add chunks of bell pepper (any or all colors) squash…both yellow and zuchhini…and any other vegetable that suits your fancy, along with bite-sized slices of Eckrich smoked sausage (with skin). A pinch of sugar makes the flavors pop. At the very end, I add some chopped cilantro and grape tomatoes. Everything tastes so fresh and yummy, yet it takes just a few minutes to make this colorful “confetti skillet”.

My go to weekday meal is stuffed potatoes! My family absolutely loves them.

Favorite “go to” dinner is either French Dip sandwiches, or homemade pizza. Both easy and quick and can accommodate everyone’s schedules on crazy nights!

Our favorite “go to” weeknight dinner is our version of Pollo Tropical’s chicken, white rice and beans “Tropichops” dish. Served in Pollo Tropical’s restaurants, this casserole-style bowl has 3-4 toppings: grilled chicken, black bean sauce, green pepper/onion/garlic topping, and a chunky tomato topping. Having to prepare these as separate side toppings was just too complicated on a weeknight. So we modified it to become a one-pot sauce.

I use the basic recipe for their black bean sauce on the back of the Goya Black Beans can (of course modified somewhat). First we saute chicken in garlic, saute onions with green peppers (or red, or yellow) with LOTS of garlic, and then add the black beans, petite diced tomatoes, chicken broth and seasonings (oregano, sazon, apple cider vinegar, salt/pepper, and sugar).

To speed up prep time, I’ve used pre-sliced peppers (into julienne strips) that I’ve frozen. The chicken is also cut into thin strips (about 1-1/2″ long, but fairly thin – about 1/4″ thick). I also start the black beans, tomatoes, chicken broth and seasonings in a large pot. I use a different saute pan to cook the chicken, onions, peppers, and garlic and after they are cooked, they are added to the pot with the black bean sauce.

By the time it simmers down to thicken the sauce, the rice is cooked and dinner is served! It is so good, we will gladly eat it for lunch the next day or two!!

My go to meal is seafood. Easy to prepare, healthy and tasty.

Swedish Meatballs I make up the meatballs & freeze so I can use them for whatever we need them for.

Pan fried pork chops on white rice with mushroom gravy. Grilled green beans on the side.

My favorite Bayou Chicken Pasta

Our “go to” meal during the week is pan-fried chicken with pan gravy, quinoa with cherry tomatoes, basil & grated Parmesan cheese and. Nice crisp green salad with whatever veggies are available in the fridge!

My husband and I like to design individual flatbread pizzas. It’s just the 2 of us so the flatbread is like a blank canvas.
He makes up a large batch of Marinara and freezes it in small bags then pulls it out for the pizza.
We use fresh basil or rosemary, goat cheese or fresh mozzarella then mushrooms, red onions, roasted chicken or pancetta.
SO good!!

My favorite to go meal is Frieda’s casserole. It is a base with noodles and meat sauce with tomato soup and pimentos. It is easy and the kids love it!

have to say with a house full of boys our go to meal is make at home pizza (whole wheat dough !)

My go to meal would probably be tacos and I just use nacho chips if I don’t have tortillas or shells, but one of my faves is pork tenderloin in the crock pot topped with a mix of whole berry cranberry sauce and bottle of chili sauce slow cooked all day. Sooo good.

Our goto favourite family dinner is home made whole wheat roti’s similar to tortias and chickpea curry or any other veggie curry with yogurt on the side.

Grilled tuna steak seasoned with mediterranean spices and lime on mixed greens.

This time of year, a quick panzanella makes it into my dinner rotation frequently. It’s super fast, seasonal and delicious! I use tomatoes of course, bread, a light, garlicky vinaigrette, red onions, arugula when I have it and sometimes cucumbers.

We love coming home to chili made in the crockpot. Yum!

Tacos or spagetti!! Both a hit with all my boys! :)

My favorite week night meal is Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti, home made sauce, garlic bread and salad. Love the ideas for this cookbook!

My favorite go to meal is my mom’s enchilada casserole!

Our favorite go-to meal is Pasta Fagioli. SInce my husband makes it better-it’s his turn.

for weeknights, i like to cook up boneless chicken or pork varying the seasonings & served with pasta or rice & a steamed veggie. I would love a cb full of ideas!

Ours is French Toast made with fritter bread, and some blueberries, or whatever fruit is on Sale!

love all the recipes makes me hungry now if i just had a man to cook for me! lol

It’s always a frittata type egg dish. When things are really busy and we want to shorten prep time, this dish is a winner. Eggs, sauteed vegetables (freshly made or leftover), cheese, herbs and spices all prepared in one pan! The combinations are endless so the dish is never the same twice. Serve it with some whole grain toast and your done. A great meal that’s quick and easy and tastes great every time!

My favorite go to meal would be my SUNDAY GRAVY with MEATBALLS. We invite the kids over for dinner on that Sunday and I make a big batch up and freeze some so when I want it during the week it’s there.

When dinner hasn’t been planned, I can always count on my breakfast scramble for dinner, I always have the ingredients in the house. Easy to make, not so pretty, but delicious. I fry thin sliced potatoes with chopped onion & green pepper, When just about done I toss in whatever I have..cubed ham, sliced hot dogs, kielbasa or it’s really good with cubes of spam. Brown the meat a little & then pour beaten eggs over top. Once the eggs are set, dinner is ready. Good anytime of day! I’ve made so many variations of this even using leftover baked potatoes, fried or red roasted peppers in a jar, whatever you have.

My go to meal is homemade sloppy joes. I always have Montreal Steak Seasoning and tomato paste in my house. My kids love it.

I love chilling, ham and beans and anything I can grill

I love a big baked potato with a little butter topped with of Jamaican Jerk and cottage cheese… The perfect combo of flavors.. yum!

Anything I can make without having to think to hard or involves a lot of ingredients is a hit with me. My husband loves anything using chicken or buffalo, and that provides him with leftovers for the next day!

When all else fails, Italian sausage with ??? It can be turkey or pork, I prefer hot, but mild will also work. Either grill it on the barbeque or heat in a little water, drain and brown on the stove. Slice the sausage and set aside In the meantime, saute a little onion and garlic in olive oil (and a little butter depending on the veggie and mood). Add some broccoli or zucchini or tomato or whatever else suits your fancy and/or you have on hand and cook until crisp tender or heated through in the case of the tomato. Cook some pasta..whatever seems appropriate, keep about a cup of the cooking liquid when it’s ready to be drained. Toss the pasta with the with sauteed veggies and the sausage. Add some cooking liquid if necessary and, of course, grated Parmesan or Romano. Season with salt and pepper as you go.

I love sweet gingery tofu.

My favorite go to weeknight dinner is sesame chicken. I got the recipe from a friend over 30 years ago and it is still my favorite recipe to make when I want something easy and delicious.

Love the Dinner in a Flash Salmon Pasta!

My favorite go to meal is spagehetti and italian sausage. With some hot italian garlic bread….works every time! Quick and easy….

My weeknight go to dinner is usually some kind of pasta dish served with some garlic bread and a green salad.

Cashew Chicken with Garlic Quinoa…. A+++

I love chicken any night of the week!

I need new cookbooks! Looks delish!

Our favorite is stir fry with chicken and vegetables. It’s the one way I can make sure that no one picks out the vegetables!

My fave go to weekday meal is fritatta with smoked salmon and dill. I always have smoked salmon in the the freezer,so it makes for a quick and delicious weeknight meal. Topped with dill and chive sour cream, it’s fantastic.

Definitely a fresh tomato sauce with basil with pasta! Easy and healthy!

My go to meal is Cube Steak, French Fries and Garden Salad. I make
gravy and hot biscuits…and enjoy. Guess more of the reason I love this
is it reminds me of my aunt in Georgia – she used to serve this on
Saturday night when we were kids visiting her. So it’s my comfort food.

Taco night is a favorite in our house. With four kids in different directions, it makes Monday night a breeze (with leftovers, for Wed night!)

Fine Cookings Pork Marsala Medallion. Quick but delicious!

Though not very healthy…my fave is Friday night…Family Night/Pizza Night! :D

my favorite go to meal are tacos…so easy to make and change up and everyone likes them!

My favorite meal of the week is some grilled chicken along with some fresh green beans and corn on the cob out of the garden along with a tossed salad….I always love trying new dishes for something different!

I am a cooking fanatic!! I love new foods..cooking new things!! PICK ME!!!! Please and Thank You!!

My favorite go to meal is Pizza Casserole. It’s not really hard to put together, and is a hit with the kids. If you can make them happy, ya know you have a winner. Depending on what everyone is in the mood for, you can either just have a salad with it or heat up your vegetable of choice. A nice addition is garlic or cheesy bread also. Leftovers the next day are pretty yummy too!

I love to cook new foods and try new things. My son is on the Autisum scale and has food issues any new cook book in the house would be wonderful. Please Pick ME! Please and Thank You!

You asked favorite right? It is not the healthiest……but I love the nights when it is cold and rainy and you decide to do breakfast for dinner – waffles and bacon.

My favorite is anthing that the crockpot has hot and ready when I get home!!

Coq Au Vin in the crockpot…throw it all in the pot in the morning & enjoy it later, with no fuss!

With three kids – Tacos! The kids love making their own taco bowls. They bake the a tortilla with melted butter in a ramikan. They love filling it with Turkey taco meat and all the fixings. Please pick me! I really need some new ideas for dinner!!

Steak with rice and beans

My go-to meal lately is a Vegetarian’s Shepherd’s Pie I recently discovered, because I can keep the base in the fridge and have a hot dinner in no time. However, my close second is your Tomato Creamy Pasta, although I add a few more veggies and exchange Half-and-Half for the Heavy Cream (MOST ot the time). GOOD STUFF!

Elk steak (or ‘our’ pork steak) potaoes and in the summer, whatever came out of the garden (in the ‘non- gardening’ time, a veg that I ‘put up’) :o)

My favorite is grilled burgers and chips!

Pasta for sure!

Favorite Weeknight Supper – spinach salad w/chicken.
We grill extra chicken when we make it on the weekend or pick up a grocery store rotisserie chicken. Fresh spinach, chicken, slivered almonds and/or sunflower seeds, boiled egg, Craisins, sometimes some bacon bits, the Spinach Salad dressing from the refrigerated section near the pre-bagged salads (it’s low fat!) and croutons. A huge hit with hubby and my 7-year old enjoys it too!

Ham/Turkey Wraps (with provolone and baby spinach, and fresh-from-the-orchard apple slices) are our family favorite. While these are best warm (oooh the crispness of the olive oil browned tortilas!), parchment paper and foil makes these this soccer mom’s go to dish even on the go!

Would LOVE to be one of the lucky recipients of the collaborative cookbook!

Oops – mistyped my own email. (corrected with this entry)

My favorite weekend go to meal is enchilladas! I make more than enough for dinner and I have something yummy for lunches during the week!

We like quick and easy. Anything in the crockpot works but especially chicken, vegetables (corn, green beans, mushrooms) with crushed Italian style tomatoes on top. Put over rice and it can’t be beat!

A top favorite at my house is fajitas (steak, chicken, or pork), and then the leftovers can be incorporated into a great pot of chili for later in the week.

My Famous South-West Tacos

Favorite go to meal is veggie pizza. My kids request it every week!!

We’ve got a couple of favorite go-to weeknight meals in my house.

In the winter it’s grilled cheese with tomato soup. Hopefully we have some soup on hand made from our garden tomatoes. It freezes really well. We make the grilled cheese with just about any cheese we have in the house (Havarti, Gouda, Swiss, Cheddar, etc.).

Our other favorite is pasta (or frozen ravioli or tortellini) mixed with a can of Italian stewed tomatoes and half a jar of Alfredo sauce. It makes a wonderful creamy red sauce. Then we warm up some frozen garlic bread, maybe add a salad, and there’s dinner in about 20 minutes. Yum!

You have a ton of gluten free recipes!! Can’t wait!! : )

Wow, so many responses – how will I win?! But I’m enjoying the “go to” list … esp ones that have simple recipes mentioned! My GTD is stir fry … fun part is trying different sauces I buy, sometimes adapting as I cook w/them. Congrats on what should be a fabulous cookbook for real people!

I’m an empty nester with four children scattered all over the country (and sometimes the world!). Whenever any one of them is home…they always request a meal that we’ve had at least once a week for 40+ years (and even some of their friends will come over and request it!). Taco Night at the Gilbertsons! We use all fresh ingredients (except the tortillas, which I purchase at the grocery, both corn and flour ones) and we’ve served variations of beef, chicken and fish. Over the years, my husband and I have stopped frying the tortillas for ourselves (he warms his in the microwave and I prefer warming over the gas stove…or doing without one altogether and just calling it a taco salad with NO tortilla). But the kids still like the greasy fried version that Dad has always made. We have freshly grated cheese, tomatoes, avocados, green peppers, red onions, (for fish we have a slaw of cabbage, cilantro, radishes and lime juice). For the chicken and beef versions, I use roasted chili peppers, garlic, salt, cayenne, cumin and cilantro to spice the meats. TACOS….once a week for 40+ years. I ‘d say it’s our favorite week night meal!

My favorite go-to meal on the weekday, especially when I’m extra short on time, is spaghetti with meat sauce. It’s super easy to make and the whole family loves it. Caesar salad on the side, which some French bread. Yum!

My favorite is sesame noodles. Quick, easy and satisfying.

Unfortunately after moving out of my moms house, and then getting married, I somehow missed out on getting cookbooks. So weeknight dinners always are an interesting experience of what I think of off the top of my head. Recently I have enjoyed a broccoli cauliflower soup with cheese, chicken stock and curry in it. I can prepare everything ahead of time and toss of together fast, or if time permits, simmer it for a long while so it tastes even better.

My favorite go to meal is gumbo and potato salad Or boiled seafood. Really any kind of CAJUN food

Spaghetti and Meatballs is definitely my go to dinner. It’s quick, easy and delicious.

In the summer it’s grilled chicken and vegetables, in the winter it’s leftovers.

Chicken Pockets with a salad on the side. :)

Looks like a great cookbook! My favorite go to weekend meal would be pulled pork in the crockpot, baked beans and cole slaw for the fall and winter, summer would be a mesclun green salad with garden fresh tomatoes, cukes, red onion, craisins, slightly sugared almonds or pecans and goat cheese, sitting daintily on a grilled chicken breast or salmon filet!!

Chicken Divan…..layers of broccoli, white meat chicken, cheese, slivered water chestnuts, buttered breadcrumbs, all married with a thickened chicken stock and plain yogurt sauce. Yum! I think I’ll make it tonight!

We have two go to meals: chicken caesar salad and white bean stew.

Our go to meal is quesadilla’s. Made in the microwave… Cheese only for the kids, chicken, avacado, mushrooms whatever else we can find in the fridge for my hubby and I.

Yum!! I want to try the quesadillas!! My kids would actually eat that :)

Our favorite is turkey tacos. My boys like turkey better than hamburger meat.

Grilled Salmon Filet with a pesto sauce, roasted paprika, rosemary and lemon baby potatoes, and a seasonal salad.

Meatloaf and baked potatoes!
