Bored with dinner...
I feel like we have been eating the same things week after week and it's getting boring.
So, what is your go-to recipe site or any favorite recipes you wanna pass on?
ETA: We are open to all styles and I have a 3 year old slow cooker I've been dying to use.
Re: Bored with dinner...
We just made crock pot pulled pork this week and it was so good and so easy.
2-3 lb pork loin
12oz bottle of rootbeer
18oz bottle of bbq sauce
Add pork to crockpot and cover with rootbeer. Cook on low for 6-7 hours. When done drain well and shred the pork. Then add the bbq sauce. Serve on buns.
I am telling you it was so good!
Montana stole one of mine
Dinner in 10 minutes: A good frozen ravioli and pesto sauce. I try to keep a stock of good pasta things in the freezer (ravioli, tortellini, perogies) for when we're too tired to cook or leave the house. I like to tell myself it's better for us than boxed mac and cheese though we sometimes stoop to that level on occasion, lol.
If you have 5 more minutes, cook up a few pieces of bacon, crumble. Saute a bag of spinach. Toss bacon, spinach, bit of olive oil and a splash of lemon juice with ravioli. amazing.
Dinner in 30-45 minutes:
Apricot Curry Coconut Chicken: Cut up 1lb chicken breast into like 'big chicken finger' size. Mix half a jar of apricot jam, 1/4 cup ish of mustard, and 1 tbs curry. Coat chicken well. Then roll in coconut (and/or chopped pecans). Bake for 30 minutes at 350.
Dinner in 45min to an hour:
- Baked Mac and cheese (Alton Brown, we halve the recipe and still have plenty of leftovers) with chicken and broccoli added
I know the feeling! Our goal for 2011 is for DH to try a new food every week (he's a VERY picky eater) and for me to try a new recipe at least once every 2 weeks, but recently I've been so excited I've been making new things all the time.
allrecipes.com is my go-to site.
And dinners we eat often, although they're definitely not all healthy:
-tortellini w/alfredo, peas and diced ham (proscuitto it it's on sale)
-baked potato casserole with cheese, ham, broccoli
-teryaki marinated pork w/pineapple, frozen veggies (corn, peas, carrots), and brown rice
-ground turkey spaghetti
-pulled pork (I use a recipe pretty much the same as Montana)
-homemade mac and cheese w/chicken and broccoli
-chicken parmesan
-beef stew
-ground turkey w/cheeseburger hamburger helper, add broccoli and tomato
-pigs in a blanket (hotdog slice in middle with 1/2 piece of American cheese, wrapped in crescent)
-Pepperoni "poppers" - crescent roll w/mozz. cheese, pepperoni, and spoonful marina, place 2nd roll dough on top and pinch on sides for pocket, bake, serve with marinara.
