Please share your favorite dinner recipes. I would welcome both vegetarian and non-vegetarian recipes and would like them to be quite easy. Slow cooker recipes, full-meal salads, dinner sandwiches, etc.

My favorites are getting "stale", and I've served most of them to the people we entertain, so something new is needed.

TIA for all your wonderful ideas!

We has green noodles last night. Not a recipe, but a through it together sort of meal.

Pasta, what ever type you like, have on hand etc. Last night I had a package of gnocchi.
Pesto, again what ever one you like will work. I use about a cup
Cream cheese, soft hard, whatever you have on hand. Last night I did not have enough so I used a cup of sour cream.
Chicken, shrimp whatever, you get the idea.
A green vegie or two. I often use Broccoli and artichoke hearts.

While your pot of water is coming to the boil, sauté the meat. Add the cream cheese to the cooked meat and cook on low until melted.

Just before the pasta is fully cooked put the broccoli into the boiling pasta water. When the pasta and broccoli are cooked drain and dump into the meat and cream cheese mixture. Pour the pesto over top and mix well, add chopped Artichoke hearts. Serve with fresh Parmesan and a salad.

I like to add some chopped sundried tomatoes to my portion of the pasta.

If the shrimp is frozen, pop it into the pasta water with the broccoli.

I have gotten to the age where I cook what I want to eat. Luckily my son likes a wide variety of foods, so we enjoy cooking different things. But some days plain old meat loaf, baked spuds and steamed veg are all we want. Other days it is Thai, Indian, Vietnamese, TexMex something with loads of flavour and perhaps some spice. I want to try making Eritrean food. I had it in Europe and the flavours are interesting, plus it is so fun to eat with our fingers.

Now that summer is here, we will eat lots of burgers and corn on the cob, but will switch up the meat, beef, lamb, bison, pork, vegie so it is not the same every time.

My son is not fond of fish, but he leaves in a week to spend 2 months with his grandfather, so I will be enjoying more seafood. Plus I love that it cooks quickly on a hot day.

I've been making a lot of roasted veggies with boneless chicken. I use several boneless thighs for DH and cut a couple breasts in half for me, season and place on baking sheet(I cover pan with foil or parchment for easy cleaning). Then cut up a variety of veggies-red potatoes, broccoli, brussel sprouts, baby carrots, toss with olive oil. Place veggies on pan around chicken pieces, sprinkle with seasoned salt, parsley or what ever you like, sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese and place in 375 oven for about 35-40 minutes until chicken is done.

A crowd pleaser in my family are lazy cabbage rolls. I do mine in a casserole dish in the oven but they can be done in a slow cooker. Just find a good cabbage roll stuffing recipe and instead of rolling the leaves, the leaves are shredded and some put on the bottom, then put in the filling layer and layer more shredded cabbage on top.

My daughter shared this recipe with me and we love it. I have made it with either rotisserie or precooked chicken, ground pork, ground beef, and Italian sausage. I really like the ground beef and sausage best. I have served it with coconut rice cooked in my Instant Pot, plain rice or with no rice, and my daughter and granddaughter like a fried egg on top of theirs. Baked spring roll wrappers are a crispy side to it. It is an extremely flexible recipe. I don't use the white wine, and use soy sauce for the tamari. I make it in my large dutch oven so I can stir things around easier.
If you like egg rolls this is good to try.

My husband and I are not picky eaters. In fact, he likes to find new recipes then gives me the shopping list.

Thank you Tartan for the info on the easy way to make the cabbage rolls. I have everything to make a batch today and to enjoy during the week ahead.
Have found info on cooking it on the stove, crock pot, oven and finally the IP pressure cooker. *Ü*
