The chunks would go well with a dipping sauce, similar to nuggets, or served burger- style on buns.īasically anything stew- style in the crock pot. Being a toddler, she just eats the patty in chunks. She also likes homemade ones with black beans and such.
I VE GOT BILLS TO PAY MOUTHS TO FEED LYRICS PLUS
Veggie burgers-I keep these cheap Wholesome Pantry brand ones in the freezer that are basically mixed veg plus some cornmeal. Spinach, broccoli, carrot, leftovers, lunch meat, whatever. Omelets-i can mince nearly anything and she'll eat it in an omelet. Kids are going to vary, so this is only what works for my toddler. Ramen Noodle Recipes - Haven't actually used this one.but it looks cute. Trick to shredding: Mix it with a hand mixer.įrench Toast Bake - Either make this before bed for breakfast in the morning, or make it in the morning, then let it sit in the fridge during the day to be baked at night for a "breakfast for dinner".īreakfast Casserole - Another one for a crockpot.Again, make it for a ready breakfast, or have breakfast for dinner. Ranch Chicken Tacos - Just a quick/easy way to prepare your chicken for tacos.īuffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps - Another easy chicken recipe.On busy nights I use a rotisserie chicken from the deli of my local supermarket. If you don't.I will make a basic roast (like packet of soup basic.) in my crockpot first thing in the morning.Then that afternoon make my soup. Penne Sausage and Peppers - I don't always use red wine, you can deglaze the pan with water or chicken stock.īutter Chicken - A little more involved, but you can also replace the chicken with chickpeas for a cheaper protein.īeef Noodle - If you have pot roast leftovers this is perfect. And the amounts in this.always seemed odd to me, it feels like it's halved normal amounts.so easier still to make it double.Ĭhickpea Tikka - Super easy, comes together quickly. Also.easy to double a casserole every time you make one, put one in a foil pan, cover with foil, write the cooking instructions on top in permanent marker. Lentil Moussaka - more veggie stock, again, sub chicken (I bought the "better than bouillon" jars of concentrate and keep that around b/c it's just a bit cheaper and easier). Sweet Potato Burritos - This has you making your own salsa - store bought is fine. Pizza Pasta Salad - Good as a side, or as a main. We don't use tapenade, but I sometimes mix butter and finely minced green olives. Italian Pressed Sandwiches - Use it as a jumping off point for making a pressed sandwich more in line with family tastes. t's pretty cheap, I forget my brand, but it comes in a paper bag like flour and sugar.
After making polenta like this, I also started finding ways to make it as a replacement for pasta and rice. Veggie Polenta Casserole - It calls for veggie broth, but if you have chicken, that's fine, too. This is an actual list of things I have made and my family likes & eats (and I do have picky eaters). I'm also a fan of crockpot and electric pressure cooker meals.but yeah, those can be pricey. I like the T-Fal optigrill, it can make burgers from frozen in about 10-15 minutes. It can make a small pot roast in about an hour. Other useful tools: An electric pressure cooker can cook things faster than a crock pot and can also cook rice (albeit less convenient than a simple rice cooker). You can pretty much steam anything in there - potatoes, for example. That will give you an alternative to just pasta. Put in the rice, water and flavour (butter, bouillon, frozen peas, etc), turn it on, and less than half an hour later the rice is ready. Do you have a rice cooker? It makes cooking rice dead simple. Mashed potatoes are fairly simple to make. Starches: Pasta and bread as the obvious choices, but don't have to be the only thing you do. Vegetables: This would be the easiest part, just have a good variety of frozen veggies. Defrosting is the slowest part, but since it's pre-cooked you just need to heat it up after. Either way you don't get to choose exactly what you buy, but since you prepare it beforehand and freeze it you should have a good variety stocked up, and it can all be heated up in the microwave. You see the pattern there, right? Some grocery stores will discount meat that's expiring the next day, you can get a good discount that way.
You can also pre-cook sausages, pot roast, etc and freeze individual portions. You can then use it to make taco meat, pasta sauces, etc. Protein: Pre-brown ground beef then freeze it in portions. Meal prepping helps - aim to get some protein, vegetables, and starches in your meal. Crock pot recipes are usually easy (dump everything in in the morning, it's ready by dinner time).
