What's for dinner tonight?
What is your family having for dinner tonight? We can never decide what to eat, we always go back and forth on what sounds good. By the time I get home from work it's always so much easier to just grab something out. But I'm really trying hard to save my money (and calories). I just dont know what to make tonight. I was thinking some kind of pasta or chicken recipe...any Ideas? :)
taco salad
we always have taco salad. you can put chicken instead of ground beef. You eat the salad. The kids eat the rest.
Chicken
We've been eating chicken tacos alot lately. Several chicken breasts in the crock-pot for a few hours with some water, when it's easy to shred, shred and add taco seasoning and water. Freeze enough leftovers for a quick meal another night.
I also saw a recipe for chicken and vegetable wraps. Basically sautee chicken and any vegetables you want in your favorite seasonings (zuchinni, carrots, squash), put it on a tortilla with a little bit of shredded mozarella cheese. I'll look for the exact recipe, but it looked really yummy!
Crock pot chicken noodle soup (yes, the crock pot is my best friend). Simmer a huge can of chicken broth, a couple cups of water and a few bullion cubes, carrots, celery, onion, and chicken in crock pot. Season to taste. When you get home from work, add thin noodles and in 20 or so minutes, it's done! Again, double the recipe and freeze for another quick night's dinner.
Tonight, we were very bad. Our budget started over today, so we celebrated..haha! We had subway. I was working most the afternoon and didn't get around to cooking, so we decided on a really quick dinner and then ran some errands.
