[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]-grill a big batch of chicken on sunday. use it for lunches and quick dinners during the week. even better if you can marinate it two ways. 
-during the week, make any of the following for dinner using the grilled chicken: tacos, lettuce wraps, chicken sandwiches or salads
-have ground turkey handy and mid-week make turkey burgers. serve with baked sweet potato fries or just baked potatoes if you're too tired to prep. (or ground turkey lettuce wraps if you're really short on time and not too sick of lettuce wraps and tacos)
-have frozen shrimp handy, thaw when you get home and throw it on a pan with some olive oil, garlic, crushed red pepper. serve it with zucchini noodles that you prepped during the weekend. 
-keep frozen meatballs (either homemade or buy from costco) and thaw when you come home. serve with zucchini noodles or just on a bed of spinach. 
-pick up whole roasted chicken from grocery store, eat with salad and/or roasted potatoes. 
-pick up large piece of salmon from grocery store, throw on grill.  serve with spinach salad or steamed spinach. 
-friday or saturday: dinner out or DH makes a nice lamb or steak dish

another few quick and easy dinners:
-stuffed peppers (stuffed with ground turkey or beef), top with cheddar cheese, you can mix cooked rice or cauliflower rice with the meat if you have a hungry crowd
-pretty much any sheet pan meal: prep the veggies on the weekends, throw it on a sheet pan with the olive oil, spices and meat when you get home for work. bonus if you cook it on foil as you barely have anything to wash
-agree with PP:  in the fall, I do lots of chilis, stews, and soups. they can all be made on the weekend and feed for couple days. you can freeze the extra for another week. [/quote]
