As with anybody, we like to share new meal ideas with each other.  What’s even better is if the meal is QUICK if you know what I’m sayin’.  So, when we have no time or we are just lazy these are our go-to meals we can fall back on.

1. Der-Spaghetti-This means so many different things to people. Meat sauce, meatballs, chunky sauce, what type of pasta? I am married to an Italian spaghetti loving man and I am a pretty big pasta fan as well, so it works out well. For us it means angel hair pasta and sauce sans meat. While no sauce will ever compare to his family recipe in his book (and I have to agree its pretty fab) I buy jar sauce and jazz it up. The only jar sauce that he loves is Great Value brand at Wal-mart….. weird, but true story.
2. AK-Nachos-I could eat Mexican every single day of the week.  My husband is the cook around our house, so when he doesn’t feel like cooking anything too elaborate or I’m on my own for dinner this is generally our go-to meal.  Chips, Ground Beef (w/Taco Seasoning), Grated Cheese…DONE! If we have avocados on hand we’ll whip up some guac.
3. Sarah-Pork Loin- Sounds like it could be complicated, but it’s not. Our go to grocery store down here, H-E-B, sells small, pre-marinated, pork loins that are the bomb. All you have to do is take them out of the package, throw them on a pan, and in 30 min. dinner is ready! I always pair it with some steamed veggies…a fast and healthy meal for any night of the week!
4. Court-Turkey dogs-So quick and also comes with cool sides like frito pies which my son loves. I generally do turkey chili and cheese on mine.

What’s your go-to meal?
