So my SO and I are trying to eat out less...What're some home cooked meals you guys make during the week?

A great way to transition from fast food to home cooked meals is to get a crock pot and find some recipes on Pinterest you like, wake up and combine all the ingredients in the morning before leaving for work or whatever and come home to a nice meal warm and ready. Then if you have some time and interest you can start baking, grilling, frying, etc and have some fun in the kitchen while successfully dropping fast food like a bad habit 😆

We eat very low carb and low dairy if that’d help. I mostly make;

Grilled chicken w/sautéed veggies

Grainless lasagna,(I use zucchini for noodles and add hamburger meat and marinara, maybe other veggies too)

Butternut squash soup

Split pea soup

Beef and onions (cooked in a pan, sometimes serve with cauliflower or rice w/ gravy)

Lots of sweet potatoes

And we often buy a ham or turkey and cook it so we’ll have meat for a while at a lower cost. I’ll usually serve any meat we have with a veggie and sometimes fruit. I make bread every once in a while so we sometimes have sandwiches and toast.

Chicken gyros, breakfast tacos- w eggs sausage and potatoes, steak w veggies and Mac, chicken bacon ranch alfredo, tater tot casserole, lasagna soup, chicken tortilla soup, zuppa Tuscana soup 🤤

Lasagna, spaghetti, chicken and dumplings, chili, bbq chicken, baked ziti, roast, “breakfast for dinner”, fried pork chops, I almost always make homemade mashed potatoes with dinners. And whatever other sides (veggies).
