Moms Share Their Family's Favorite "Go-To" Dinners
The period between after school and bedtime is bursting with extra-curricular activities, homework, baths, and dinner. Moms usually have a standby meal they can whip up in no time. We asked our community to share their "go-to meals."
Pasta with meatballs or sauce was on most menus, with Facebook fan Krystal Cox telling us: "It's easy, they love it and I can do a lot of hiding of veggies in the meatballs and sauce!"
Amber512 keeps things simple with sandwiches. "Go-to meals for when my nieces and nephews come over will always be sandwiches. Nothing simpler. We only do something more fancy if we have plenty of time. Otherwise, PB&Js it is!"
Anonymous reader Phoenix Rising gave us her recipe for Tator Tot Casserole.
Facebook fan Bernadette Dee turns to the packaged goods at Trader Joe's. "Trader Joe's Potstickers. Is that cheating?"
RoaringSilence shared her recipe for honey mustard chicken with rice and green beans. "Throw honey, mustard, salt, pepper and lemon juice together, pour over chicken in a baking dish and bake that. I usually take canned green beans with that which I pan fry with some onions, bacon bits and slivered almonds."
Snookyx said, "I don't have kids but whenever I baby sit after work I make spicy garlic lime chicken and roasted potatoes."
An anonymous reader shared her recipe for chicken "risotto." "I use regular rice as it cooks so much more quickly and is less labor intensive than arborio. I toss in pre-cooked chicken and some mixed veg and a can of chopped tomatoes."
Girl Jen said, "Pan-fried meat (salmon or chicken) with steamed veggies."
