[quote=Anonymous]Pasta dishes:

- Cut up grape tomatoes then toss with olive oil, basil and salt. Add the cooked pasta and toss. You can also add cut up  mozzarella cheese (I use the bocconcini). You can could also cook the tomatoes a bit if you like, but they are great uncooked also.

- Cut up deli ham (mild, simply cooked ham. Not virginia ham or honey ham). Cook in butter or olive oil in a pan until browned to your liking. Add frozen petite peas and cook until peas are unfrozen. Add to the cooked pasta, toss in a little more butter to melt and add parmesan cheese if desired.

- Melt butter in a pan, add fresh sage leaves and cook until sage has infused the butter. You can also brown the butter a little bit. Toss with cooked pasta and then add parmesan cheese if desired.

- Sautee sliced mushrooms (any kind) in butter with a little salt. After they are cooked add heavy cream. Cook for a bit and then add cooked pasta and combine. This one can be a bit heavy so only add the amount of cream you wish. Or you can cut the cream a bit with some chicken broth (only a bit, though).

Other dishes:

- Cook basmati rice (about 1-2 cups). Sautee 1/2 onion and 2 garlic cloves in a pan with olive oil. Add 1 package ground turkey (i lb?). Cook until turkey browned. Add some dried oregano, dried basil and worcester sauce (about 1 teaspoon each). Add one small can of chopped tomatoes and cook until combined. Then add about 1 cup of the cooked rice. Combine and cook for a few minutes. It can then be used to stuff peppers, put in a taco shell or just eaten plain.

- "Breakfast for dinner" = scrambled eggs with a little cheese added, cut up grape tomatoes or other quick veggie we have on hand and then cut up fruit. Add toast if the kids are really hungry. This is my go-to when it's a tough night, but I still want my kids to have a meal with some protein.[/quote]
