I'm sure many of you are in the same boat where you simply don't have time to cook fancy dinners from scratch...especially during the week when our days are consumed by our jobs, going to the gym, errands, etc. These are some of my go-to products and recipes that I use to make quick & easy dinners during the week for my household of two:
Chicken & Veggie Stir-fry:
You can use an combination of fresh or frozen veggies and Kikkoman Stir-Fry sauce can be found in the ethnic section in your grocery store.
Oven-Broiled Pork Chops:
I season however you like and broil 11 minutes on each side. Some sides that I rotate using are sweet potato, corn on the cob, squash, zucchini or salad.
Butterball Turkey Burgers:
Baked Tilapia:
This also take under 30 minutes to bake in the oven and is good with any sides. I season it with creole seasonings, lemon and capers and I like it with sides such as asparagus, broccoli or spinach.
Boil-in-a-Bag Brown Rice:
Takes about 10 minutes to cook as opposed to nearly 30 with other types of brown rice.
Shrimp Alfredo with Whole Wheat Pasta
I make with either chicken or shrimp and often substitute the Alfredo sauce for the Vodka sauce, pesto, or regular pasta sauce.
Velveeta Shepherd's Pie:
This is a new find of mine. Velveeta now has a bunch of different easy-to-make casseroles. I like the Shepherd's Pie and I substitute the ground beef for turkey. So easy, K can do it himself when I'm running late.
What's on your weekly menu?
This all looks delish! (minus the shrimp of course lol) I say this as a frozen lasagna is in the oven.. I've been over stressed lately at work and depressed so cooking a big meal is the last thing on my mind when I get home.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to try out that stir fry ;)
