[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baked ziti with spinach, salad, garlic bread. [/quote]  +1

It's my two athletic college-aged sons and me.  These are some of my hearty dinners, off the top of my head. 
Chicken Pot Pie with salad (double recipe)
Shrimp and vegetable Fried Rice with eggrolls (double recipe)
Butter chicken (double recipe, and I add spinach to the sauce) with salad and Naan bread
A typical Sunday dinner that makes enough for Monday leftovers: I rotate Fried Fish (3lbs), Salmon patties (about 15 medium-sized), or Baked cod (3lbs) [you can insert whatever protein you want] with baked sweet potatoes (I cook 5), roasted broccoli, and homemade rolls. 
Dirty Spaghetti (double recipe) with tomato and avocado salad, and rolls.
Tacos with white rice and salad. (I make around 15 tacos - a mix of blackened shrimp or ground beef).  I make a salsa of chopped avocado, jalapeno peppers, corn, black beans, red onion, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and tomato to top the tacos. 
Sometimes we do breakfast for dinner, so I typically will do:
Fried potatoes with peppers and onions, blueberry pancakes or blueberry waffles, bacon/sausage patties, grits, and scrambled eggs with onions, spinach, and peppers.

Never heard of dirty spaghetti but happen to have all the ingredients on hand, so think I’ll try that this week.

We do some kind of burrito/taco bowl pretty much weekly, just vary the contents depending on what’s in the house.[/quote]
