Ooh yes, crepes are my family’s #1

When they were little, they loved those whole chicken roasters from Perdue already seasoned that you cooked in the bag. Penne pasta with butter and Dino nuggets were the next favorite.

Now that they are older they love 1 filet mignon sous vide with an avocado ranch salad on the side, 2. chicken pot pie made with a sherry bechamel sauce, celery, carrots, shallots / no peas and puff pastry top, and 3. smash burgers on pretzel buns or homemade bolognese sauce.

Other top contenders:
Stuffed shells
Homemade pizza

Chana masala
Lamb biryani
Tan tan ramen with ramen eggs (time consuming only because they have to marinade over night)—we like The Woks of Life recipe.

I use the pressure cooker almost every day.

Pasta with homemade meatballs and sauce
Pasta with Italian sausage from the farm, parmesan, chopped mini tomatos and arugula for those who like it
Quesadillas with smashed black beans, scallions and cheddar, served with avocado and tomatos

But it's changed a bit -- now that my oldest has moved out, roasted chicken with potatos is now a big hit whereas she HATED it.

Chicken Parmesan

Chicken with apples and shallots

Sloppy Joes

(All served with a vegetable and starch)

Spaghetti bolognaise/Chicken parm
Butter chicken (Ny times recipe)
Roast chicken (they love one from the Joon cookbook).

chicken cutlets
mac and cheese
chicken cutlets

1. Lettuce wraps with mango and chicken
2. Eggplant parm (husband and daughter)
3. Pasta with pesto
4. Sloppy Joes (me and son)

The kids' consensus (not necessarily their personal favorites) favorite quick weekday meals are:
1) Hummus Bowls - Epicurious recipe with spiced beef, vegetables, served with naan
2) Romaine salad with apples, cheddar, toastedb walnuts, chicken tenders, and honey mustard dressing, and maybe rolls or fresh loaf of bread - we always do dessert on salad night so they love this dinner lol
3) Sweet potato black bean tacos

Their favorite weekend meals are steak and mashed potatoes and beef (ground beef) stroganoff- I saute the mushrooms and onions separately so everyone can mix and match their choices (I do cook the beef with a little of each) and use lots of butter for the egg noodles.

Roast chicken with mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, and a veggie (usually asparagus, broccoli, or sauteed greens)

Homemade pizzas (everyone has their favorite toppings)

Ribs on the slow cooker (takes all day), homemade mac and cheese, veggie side

And everyone loves if I make homemade rolls.

Obviously none of these are particularly quick. We do ribs maybe once a year and the other two about once every 4-6 weeks.

Honestly finding this thread kind of fascinating, mostly because there are some things listed that my household wouldn't touch.

It takes all kinds!

Each member has their own favorites, but when looking for agreement: tacos, pasta with either tomato cream sauce or pesto, homemade pizza, and baked chicken thighs. Thinking individually, DH would say steak, DD would say salmon, DS would say gnocchi and I’d say shrimp. There’s little overlap on these. For example DS and DH won’t touch salmon. DD and DS won’t touch shrimp. DS and I dislike steak. Everybody gets their favorite 3-4x a year.

Carrot sticks, walnuts, and warm quinoa

Always a hit

Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled salmon, side salad (for me, it's more like salad with grilled salmon and a side of fettuccine!)

Pork chops and mashed sweet potatoes with some sort of green vegetable

Butter chicken or lamb curry
