Dinner ideas?

Help! I am in a dinner making rut. We eat the same thing almost every week - its gotten boring and too carby and cheesy. (Rich says you can never have too much cheese, but I think otherwise

One of my favorites is meatloaf, it's pretty cheap, super-easy, and good for leftovers too. I probably make it once a week, and I don't follow a recipe, but I'll estimate it for you

Thank you:-) I like meat loaf, but have never made it! I guess I thought it was a lot harder. Morgann would love to help mixing too...

Easy stuff that I usually make for dinner:

- Veggie enchiladas...stuff to fill them with includes cheese, mushroom, spinach or pepper...get the canned enchilada sauce...takes about 15 min to prep, about 45 min to bake. Good for leftovers, too.

- Veggie Burgurs with cheese on whole wheat buns, lettuce, tomato and onion, served with sweet potato fries (buy them frozen.)

- Vegetable Lasagna

- Homemade mac and cheese and a big spinach salad

Sounds yummy! I'd love the veggie enchiladas (Rich however would not, he is a punk and doesn't eat mushroom and peppers - two of my favorites!)

I like Veggie Burgers a lot as well - I'll try them out on Rich:)

Soft Tacos are one of the easy staples I make -

I use Ground Turkey as the meat in our tacos. Just brown the meat and mix it with water and either one packaged taco mix or make your own mix (just google taco seasoning recipes and you'll find tons of easy ones). Roll up meat in a tortilla (you can use whole wheat ones too if you want) with shredded cheese, taco sauce or salsa, shredded lettuce, sour cream, and whatever else you like. I usually make them into quesadillas for the kids since those are easier for little hands/mouths to eat.

I make steak, tacos and meatloaf regularly. Also, sausage and peppers is a quick and easy meal. We do a sitr fry regularly and fajitas, too.

We used to do sausage and peppers a lot....another thing I quit making! Great idea.

I'll do steak again once we pull the grill out from under the house:-p YUM!

Stir fry - another thing I haven't done in a long time.

Thanks for the suggestions:-)
