what are you making for dinner/recipes

Lately, this has been a big problem, either I didnt go to the store and get enough ingredients or Im too tired/sick to make it.  I need to have a 2 week menu or something lol

I use my slow cooker a lot. Pinterest has so many easy recipes for it.

I love my slow cooker lol and I also make extras every night so hubby has some to take for lunch and then theres either enough leftover for me for lunch too or I freeze a portion for after son arrives and I cant be bothered lol

I love my crock pot! I use it at least 4 times a week. Tonight was chicken alfredo. 3cups broccoli (can use frozen) 1red bell pepper chopped, chicken strips (we have a Wegmans grocery has pre cut chicken strips/ stir fry). Throw in crock pot with a jar of alfredo sauce on low 4-6 hrs and serve over noodles.

I've found a new love for my crock pot/slow cooker. He's on base till tomorrow but tomorrow will be Corned Beef &Cabbage I'll throw it in @ 8am and forget about it till 4.
I make a few things this way and then will make a batch of rice or pasta on the side.
When he's home he's great about cooking too :)

When I cook I try and make enough for two nights. For example, I'm making chicken Parmesan tonight and that will last my husband and I until tomorrow. For my lazy days I just bought TV dinners and my husband cooks steaks. :)

I think I have been making chicken and dumplings at least once a week because its so easy. My husband isnt home everyday due to work, he travels. On the plus side we just bought a small frezzer.

Yea I have the same problem. I try to also have warm up & skillet meals on backup just in case neither me or hubby don't feel like really cooking. My hubby has stepped up a lot though. He made homemade pizza,  salad and breadsticks.
