[quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP, ignore the previous poster.  Obviously she is perfect.
Here are some easy ideas that your kids nights go for--

Marinated chicken breasts cooked on a grill pan.  Buy the chicken breast divide into ziploc bags and try some different marinades.  My kids like honey-soy-vinegar and orange juice-cumin-brown sugar each with a little olive oil as well.  You can freeze the chicken right in the marinade then defrost in frig the day of and cook on a hot grill pan about 10 minutes a side.  Try serving cut into strips with cous cous and a simple steamed veg. Try butter and a little salt on veggies or serve with raw veggies and dip (ranch or greek yoghurt mixed with dry ranch seasoning)

You can do the same with thin, boneless pork chops.

Make "meat muffins"-- any easy meatloaf recipe baked in muffin tins.  Then "frost" with mashed potatoes and shredded cheese or even ketchup or BBQ sauce.  Can be made with ground beef or turkey.

Leftover meat (pork, beef, chicken) can be used to make fried rice.  Sauté cold rice (prepped the day before) on hot oil with leftover meat cut into cubes, peas, corn, carrots, tiny broccoli florets.  When combined shift rice to one side of pan then scramble a egg or two on the other side then combine with the rice.  Season with soy sauce.  My kids love to eat this served in Chinese themed soup bowls with miso soup spoons.

Good luck OP :)[/quote]
