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 are our go to meal. They are quick and one way to get some vegetables into our dinner.
A quick dinner that I make is an omelet with spinach, tomato and cheese ...and a side of bacon.
I frequently make tacos for dinner
My go-to dinner is pasta, sauce, chicken and cheese. We make it then mix it into one pot. So easy.
The taco casserole sounds great!
Whatever is quick and easy--lately, I've just been having salad kits since I've been trying to up my vegetable intake
The taco casserole sounds delicious!
TACOS!!!! Easy and Delicious!

I'm sorry but these recipes do not look appetizing. Instant Pot recipes are fast. They would help (if anyone has some to share).
My favorite go-to meal involved freezer meal prep. I love to pre-prep slow cooker meals by stocking their ingredients in ziploc freezer bags. Then on busy days I can just throw the bag into the crockpot, add whatever liquid the recipe calls for (to prevent thermal shock in the crockpot I always add the liquids at room temp) then start it up. It just helps so much! Some of my faves: Santa Fe Chicken, Pepperoni Marinara, Green Chile Chicken. Yum!
Bacon wrapped chicken, 2 ingredients and about 40 minutes bake time. Kids love it!
Our go-to dinner is tacos or breakfast tacos. That pleases everyone!
My favorite go to meal is frozen hamburger patties. Can be un-thawed or put directly on the grill.
I make a lot of chicken crock pot recipes!
