Tuesday's List: Go To Dinners

YAY! I am so excited to be able to do Tuesday's List, and I loving the theme for this paticular list. Why you ask? On this paticular Tuesday, we are listing our Go To Dinners. That means...list dinners you always go to when you just can't think of anything else to have or you just don't have any time for any other meal. You need something quick, and something everyone will love. So, back to the question...I am loving this theme because I can get other easy recipe's from fellow readers that will pretty much satisfy anyone. The only problem I am going to have is that my recipe's are the plain jane recipe's. I am still new at this whole cooking thing, so I only explore every once and awhile...it also stinks when you have a picky man to cook for.

Now, I know some of you read my blog religiously and I love every person that does. I also know that more than 95% of you readers do not have a blog that I can find interesting/delicious meals from...So, please feel free to email me some great recipes at amanda.rauwolf@yahoo.com or just leave me a comment here. Preferably healthy ones since I am on a diet, and want to continue it! Gregg will survive...lol. (And a note: If you post anonymously, please leave your name at the end of the comment. Thanks!)

Now, on to the post:

{1} My Tacos/Your Burritos

This title has a funny story to it. When its this meal night..Gregg always asks whats for dinner? And, I always answer Taco's because that is what I am used to saying. And he says "No, I don't like Taco's and you know that"...And, I have to answer back "I mean your style burritos." Gregg hates tacos, but loves burritos...We have this conversation every time. I guess I need to learn to start saying burritos because we do use those huge tortilla shells so you can fold in both sides.

I say this is a Go To Dinner because I always have tortilla shells, ground beef, taco seasoning, and mixings in the fridge. Anytime I make this, I know it is a crowd pleaser and will get eaten everytime. I am really not going to go into much of an explanation on how to make because its pretty common in households. However, I will tell you how we usually top our tacos.

When this cooked, these ingredients are always OFFERED:

Huge Tortilla Shells

Ground Beef cooked with Taco Seasoning

Refried Beans

Lettuce

Tomato

Onion

Cheese

Sour Cream

Salsa

Taco Green Sauce

Gaucamole

Mexican Cheese

I also love this meal because I can use up my vegetables (lettuce, tomato, onion) if they are about to go bad. So, My Tacos/Your Burritos are always a good way to go!

{2} My invention Zucchini and Squash Mixture (No Name Yet)

I like this as a semi healthy way to go...feeds about 2.

Start with a skillet and two turns EVOO on medium heat.

Then cut one zucchini and one squash and add to pan.

Then add one can of diced tomatoes, and cover.

Let it cook until the vegetables are soft..be sure to stir every now and then.

Once its done, spoon mixture on a bed of rice.

{3} Chicken Fried Rice

This is another meal that is always in the kitchen.

Cook instant rice, and while that is being done start your skillet with EVOO.

Add your frozen vegetables, and a can of chicken. When its almost done, add some soy sauce, but not too much. Spoon mixture around the edges, and crack an egg right in the middle and scramble. Once its done, mix everything (vegetables, chicken, egg, and rice) together. Add more soy sauce if needed.

{4} Greggory Rauwolf's Always a Pleaser Spaghetti and Sauce

This meal will never go wrong in my house because Gregg invented the easy spaghetti sauce that just makes spaghetti so much better. Now, I don't know if I am allowed to be spreading the ingredients to his sauce so I am just going to end it here. However, the stuff to make this wonderful meal is ALWAYS on the grocery list. When Gregg was home, I am not going to lie, this meal was definitely eaten twice a month or more.

Well, there you go guys. That is my list of Go To Dinners! Sorry I didn't have any pictures! Can't wait to see your list's/emails/comments! Hope I didn't make anyone hungry either..if I did, Get to Cooking!
