| Anyone have ideas for recipes a true meat and potatoes guy will eat? I am trying to get us to eat healthier but am having trouble finding stuff DH likes and finds filling enough. Most dishes that met his approval have lots of cheese/pasta and in that sense are not much better for us. DH requires some kind of protein at meals, I am not so fond of fish so chicken/ turkey is preferable. |
| Pot roast. Joy of cooking recipe was recently recommended here. |

| Meat and potato, most likely. |

Pot roast - I use beef bottom round and cook all day with onions, tomatoes, rosemary, salt and pepper. Sear the meat first in the dutch oven with a little oil, then add the other ingredients and 1-2 cups of water. Simmer on low all day until fork tender.
Goes great with mashed, boiled or roasted potatoes. |

| Beef stew in crockpot. Very easy. I sear the meat first in a pan, then add it to crockpot with some wine, onions, carrots, red potatos, celery, beef broth. Season to your taste with salt, pepper, herbs. Cook on low in crockpot all day and it is delicious. |

Just noticed this recipe today. I haven't tried it yet but I think it looks great - Meyer Lemon Chicken (with potatoes)

OP here--thank you everyone and 17:38 you are awesome. I'm going to try some of these this week! |
| Barefoot Contessa isn't exactly known for "healthy" recipes (although she's not anywhere as bad as Paula Deene). With her recipes, you can often cut the butter or fat without any impact on the flavor. |
