I make this quite a bit too. CHicken and salsa all day, then when I get home I add black beans and corn for the hour or so I go around feeding animals. Stir it up, it shreds the chicken, and we eat it with sour cream and shredded cheese and Tostitos Scoops. I also like "red beans and rice" - make a kielbasa, cut it up, while that's cooking, I make a box of zatarain's beans and rice. Or just rice and add my own beans if I don't have this handy. I also got tired of paying $10 for Chipotle's chicken bowl, so I make the Rice A Roni Mexican rice, heat up black beans, and cook some chicken and add shredded cheese, diced tomatoes and lettuce to make my own bowl. Kielbasa and pierogies is also good - spend $20 on an electric skillet and put it all in there with a couple Tbsp of butter, stir and flip a couple times and its ready in about 20 minutes. I did Keto earlier this year and found a couple recipes I liked. I made taco meat, but ate it in a bowl without a shell. Just meat, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes and lettuce. Get a rotisserie chicken and debone it while its still hot. Put it in the bottom of a casserole dish. Add a little spaghetti sauce on top and top with lots of shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is warm. Like chicken parm without the breading. Yumm!! We also like buffalo chicken pasta. (I love bread, that's why I had to quit the keto, but I've learned to tone it done a bit). Cube up some chicken, cook in a pan with buffalo sauce ( I like creamy buffalo ranch). While chicken is cooking boil whatever noodle you like. Elbows, penne. Whatever. Once chicken is almost done, cube up a block of cream cheese, add more buffalo sauce. Once chicken is done and cream cheese is melted (you can add some milk to help) stir it all together to get the pasta good and coated with sauce too, and serve. |

These ideas are great! Thank you for sharing! We also roast veggies several times a week - takes about 30 mins. We roast anything and everything .... green beans, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, acorn squash (a favorite) ... cut into bite-size pieces. Place them on a large baking pan (I line it with parchment paper to make clean up super easy.) Sprinkle on a spice mixture -- I usually use a veggie type one or sometimes a chipotle flavor or a cajun flavor -- some salt, pepper, and olive oil or avocado oil -- roast at 400 degrees for about 30 mins. We save leftovers to add to salad or omelets -- and I'm guilty of snacking on the cold roasted veggies. You can add these to soups, too, and I've even topped tacos with them. (We love veggies.) |

| Oh yeah and we do breakfast for dinner a lot. Sausage links and scrambled eggs. Or egg “mcmuffins” - fried egg, cheese and bacon on an English muffin. And poor pizza. English muffins, put some squeeze pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, or whatever toppings. And they make the perfect mini pepperonis. One muffin makes two pizzas, so cheap to make. |

     Location: South Dakota | brlracerchick - 2014-01-10 3:27 PM There is one that I learned from Pinterest where you just have 2 chicken breasts, a can of green beans and a few potatoes. You put them all next to each other in a pan, put some butter on potatoes and green beans, then put dry italian seasoning over all of it. Stick it in the oven for like an hour (can't remember exact time off the top of my head), then it's done! Very easy and very good!
There's also one with shrimp but I can't remember it exactly.
I’ve made this and it is really good! |

Pork chops and rice is easy. 4 pork chops seasoned the way you like (we use onion/garlic/salt/pepper) (optional - brown them in skillet for extra flavor), 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup long grain uncooked rice, 1 1/2 cups water - stir everything, but the chops, together in a casserole dish then put pork chops on top and bake at 350 for 1 1/4 hours. |

| Another quick one I do is Migas. Fry strips of corn tortillas. Add eggs. Finish as desired - I love to top it with beans (refried or whole), avocado, cheese, salsa, tomato and sour cream ?? oh and some cilantro if I have it. You could add ground beef or chicken too Super quick, one pan and done! |

    Location: never in the right place | shrimp foil packets_ the recipe I have is for 4 but I only cook for 2 so I use less 1 1/2 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 lb cube red potatoes,(the smaller the better they cook), 2 smoked andouille sausage thinly sliced 2 cloved garlic minced 2 ears corn cut into 4 pcs 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp old bay seasoning 1 lemon ( i don't use this) 4 tbsp butter kosher salt, pepper, (2 tbsp parsley I don't use this) cut foil sheets 12" long. divide shrimp, garlic, sausage,corn and potatoes evenly. drizzle with olive oil, add old bay and salt and pepper. gently toss. top with lemon parsley and butter. Fold foil packets over mixture to completely cover and roll edges top and bottom to seal closed. grill 10-15 minutes. If potatoes are too big they wont cook. you can substitue chicken also if no shrimp. I adjust quantity by what my husband likes or doesn't like. He gets more shrimp I get more sausage lol

   Location: Pa | I'll add mine. You can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts to be a little healthier, but I like thighs for a tastier meal. Melt some butter in a skillet, add italian seasoning and simmer for a bit. Add in chicken. Cook about 6 min or so and flip. I like to cook a little longer to get a little crust on it. Add in aspargus, salted and peppered to taste, and cook another 6 minutes or until desired tenderness. Make sure to mix them up a little to get the seasoning on it. I usually just eat it with some applesauce on the side. Super yummy and pretty fast. |

I have everything for this - it sounds SO good. I'm going to have to make it this weekend. Not a recipe idea and sorry if this has been mentioned (I'm slow to make it to the party on this thread, I know!), but I double and triple almost all my crock pot recipes. I'll put leftovers into 2 large zip lock bags, stick in deep freeze. I do this for about 3 weeks and then I really don't have to cook much at all the next 4-6 weeks. It's so nice! |
