Gross.

I’m Thai and that’s insulting. Don’t those frozen veggies turn to mush?

Oh and this! You can replace broccoli with green beans, add chick peas if you want:

Grits bowls - top grits with cheese, sautéed or roasted veggies, chilis, scrambled eggs or ham

Korean "bi bim bap" like bowls - top rice with seasoned tofu, carrots, spinach, zucchini, scallions etc and a variety of Asian sauces

Homemade pizza is very popular in our house

Instead of lentil soup try mujadara. Or for a different Middle Eastern option, do Mezzo with hummus, baba ganoush, flat bread, veggies etc

Gratins are great in winter - we love this https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1015966-fennel-kale-and-rice-gratin

Pasta variations like this: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1014832-pasta-alla-norma

Layered nachos in the oven!

Pot roast is super easy--just need to start it early. place carrots and potatoes around it. Dinner done.

Throw chicken into an iron skillet and bake at 350. I usually pour Dale's Sauce over it--similar to teriyaki sauce. Bake for 40 minutes--longer if frozen when you start.

Salmon filets at 400 for about 15-20 minutes, depending on thickness. Again, I use teriyaki sauce. Occasionally, put a little mayo with parmesan over it.
Bake a potato.

Suggestion of chili is good, too. I use Mccormick's package--brown the beef, throw in a couple of cans of beans and a can of tomatoes. Ready in less than 30 minutes.

Costco has a frozen lasagna that works and lasts for days.

Frozen breaded shrimp on cookie sheet works, too. Easy.

When you bake a dinner, bake potatoes with it. Save one of them and make home fries the next night. 5 minutes.

Baked sweet potatoes are good, too.

Visit a grocery store you’ve never tried before for a new perspective.

We do a lot of cheese & charcuterie boards with stuff from trader joe's or lidl so it's not too expensive. 1-2 cheeses, a meat if you want, jam or honey, pick what you want from olives, pickles, baby carrots, baby tomatoes, celery sticks, nuts, dried fruit. Serve with bread or crackers.

Based fish, rice in the rice cooker, and a vegetable like broccoli is also easy.

We put pork shoulder or butt in the crock pot, then make BBQ sandwiches with coleslaw. Serve with a salad or vegetable and cornbread mini muffins (cooks really quickly).

Not super exciting stuff, but we have little kids too and these can get the job done.

My mother bought every family a Scrumptious cook book and it is full of quick, easy, meal ideas. We’ve started a family thread with photos and modification suggestions. Not a dud recipe yet! Even the “chef” of the group has been using it!
