I do have to say homemade chicken cutlets are a big fave. They’re so versatile, everyone loves them.

spaghetti and garlic bread is usually the one meal I can make where everyone eats it exactly as it’s prepared and no one makes any special changes or accommodations to their meal

Balsamic marinated chicken is one we all like as well- 1/2 cup balsamic, 1/3 cup olive oil, 2-3 tbsp brown mustard, Italian seasoning, garlic, let it marinate then grill or cook in the pan.

My family loves the copycat Panda Express chicken with mushrooms and kung pao chicken. Bo ssam is also a big hit. I use the Momofuku recipe.

Beef Wellington? That’s a lot of work.


Or just a lot of money at Wegmans or a food delivery service/chef delivery service.

Smitten Kitchen’s street cart style chicken and rice

orecchiette with sausage and broccoli (broccoli cut up very small so the sausage and veg kinda becomes a sauce)

Chicken and rice soup

I buy the frozen Argentinia shrimp from TJ. They are wild caught, raw, and peeled/deveined


When I buy these, there is always a weird red/pink dye on the shrimp- have you noticed this? I’ve stopped buying bc it freaked me out.


It’s not dye. That’s the shrimp.

My college freshman is home for spring break this week. When I asked what he wants for dinner while he's home, his top three answers were:
1. A family casserole that is basically a baked Mac and cheese with diced bacon, shredded chicken, onions, broccoli, and spinach (the exact mix of vegetables varies)
2. Grilled salmon with rice and some kind of steamed vegetable
3. Butter chicken

Amy + Jacky's Beef Stroganoff

Recipe Tin Eats One Pan Chicken and Rice (I think her recipe is Greek style with lemons and such, but I just season the chicken)
It's good (and my family enjoys it as written), but I just heavily season the chicken, and leave the lemons out as I don't enjoy lemony chicken.

Any tacos (carnitas, barbaco, whatever) with pinto or black beans and Skinnytaste's chipotle style rice

Carnitas
Barbacoa
Cilantro Lime Rice

Homemade burritos, everyone chooses their toppings, you must warm up the tortilla so that it wraps nicely.

Japanese curry (which you buy in blocks), with any kind of meat, potatoes and carrots, and maybe another vegetable.

Very basic Bolognese sauce over pasta (not authentic: we do put tomatoes, and generally ground beef, and also I like to hide kale in there).

These are not spectacular options but rather the dishes that survived the kids' rejection of their dinner, over a long period of time. Also fairly easy to make.


I could have posted this. I hide frozen spinach instead of kale though. Also my kids love Japanese “white stew” even more than curry.
