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.

All of these recipes look so delish!!! I love lighter foods in the springtime
I can't wait to try the recipes!!!
Baked chicken and potatoes with green peppers and onions. My family loves it.
Fajita bowls with left over rotisserie chicken, I have added to some pepper and onions serve over rice with black beans. And of course sour cream, cheese, salsa, guacamole to top it.
Easy breezy tacos made with ground turkey and packaged taco seasoning mix. Add crispy taco shells or flat tortillas, tomatoes, cheese, lettuce, and guacamole and they are so good. And then it's outside to enjoy the rest of the day.
I love spagetti because it is so easy and quick to make. I also like burritos!
I make salmon with pesto sauce.
All these recipes look delicious! My go to is a Mexican casserole I have made for years . I make both red and green, pork or chicken. Yummy!!
My favorite go-to , quick and easy dinner is pasta with marinara.
the sloppy joe is recipe is a keeper. My fav is putting chicken breasts in the slow cooker adding some chicken/veg broth , cumin and other spices. making a shredded chicken taco bar for dinner/lunch. produce from the garden. Fresh tasting, not much mess, and perfect leftovers
My family would love all those recipes. Thanks for sharing.
I'm not sure if my comment posted, so I'll write again that tacos are a staple in our family. They're quick, easy and delicious!
My favorite is a hashbrown casserole that is easy and quick and low in calories
Chicken Terriyaki with rice sounds great!
