Try something different on Taco Tuesday with an easy casserole submitted by SheSpeaks member JustMissAsh. Customize it with your favorite taco ingredients so it's sure to please everyone. You can even make this taco casserole in advance so you can just reheat at dinner time. Check out the recipe here.
For a healthy but sweet dish, try this Chicken Teriyaki. SheSpeaks member mvalenzuela makes hers with broccoli, carrots & green beans but you can use whatever veggies you prefer. Unlike most teriyaki dishes, this one isn't a stir-fry, so you don't have to be watching it on the stove the whole time it is cooking. Try it here.
Thanks to SheSpeaks member Lizzie21 for submitting this versatile meal that both kids and adults will love. You can even serve these Sloppy Joes as sliders at your next party. Make them with turkey meat and pair them with a salad if you want to go the healthier route, or use ground beef and serve with fries if you don't! Find all the info here.
For a vegetarian option that will fill you, try Pasta with Vegetables & Goat Cheese. Once again, you can use your favorite veggies, but SheSpeaks member emimorgan recommends including fresh corn if you can get it. It's a delicious, refreshing meal. Find the recipe here.
Chili usually takes a long time to simmer, which is why we love this recipe submitted by SheSpeaks member Suehna - it takes just 30 minutes, start-to-finish. It's a hearty meal but it's still good for you, especially when made with chopped turkey meat. It's the perfect go-to meal. You can get the recipe here.

Fajitas in the air fryer with pre-made refrigerated tortillas cooked in a cast iron pan!
Spaghetti and meatballs
Elbow pasta and cheese quesadillas
I have over 30 food allergies that make cooking quite difficult at times since some of my allergies include potatoes, tomato-based sauces, peanuts, nearly all fruits, and my biggest allergy which is celery. So my quick go to meal is a bean casserole that is made with ground beef (or sometimes we go meatless and use morningstar meatless crumbles,) vegetarian baked beans, some brown sugar, salt, pepper, bbq sauce, shredded cheese, and pillsbury buiscuits. It takes about 30 minutes from prep to eating, plus it's something our entire family enjoys!!
My go to is chicken alfredo with broccoli
I like to make homemade tacos. They're quick and delicious!
We make homemade pizza at home with store bought crust. It doesn't take long before we are eating pizza that is better than anything you can buy in FL pizza places.
My favorite go to dinner is Baked Ziti. It makes a ton and doesn't take too long!
Chicken teryaki is a particular favorite!
Spaghetti with meat sauce, salad and garlic bread.
Sloppy joes are a quick favorite in my house!
chili
My go to is always spaghetti bolognese. Quick and easy and everyone loves it.
Anything in my crock pot! Chicken, bell pepper strips, onions, and seasonings. Easy!
Chili is always good!
