virtual dinner group: Ahhh! Must Feed the Family! Help!

I was feeling stumped and uninspired today on what to feed the family for dinner tonight, and really, all week. Of course, I did what many of us do when we have a problem - I turned to FACEBOOK. Here are some of the great ideas I got. I want to save this for the next time I need a little inspiration. So nice to have friends out there in cyberspace.:)

Ugh... some weeks the menu planning seems a bit more than I want to tackle. What are your favorite busy weeknight meals?

Rosanne Amazing that you plan out a whole week, but impressive. This is a favorite of ours. Very quick--once you roast the peppers. We try for two completely vegan meals a week, so this suffices if we switch out the chicken broth for vegetable and eliminate the cheese. It's very nourishing and delicious.http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/roasted-yellow-pepper-soup

Dawn I'm curious to hear what people suggest. I'm in the same boat. Who isn't? My go-tos are black bean burgers (which I make in a huge batch, then freeze) and a quick three-bean chili.

Dawn Or on a night when I'm really pressed for time and don't want to order out, pasta in red sauce with broccoli. I feel like I'm at least getting some veggies in there!

Lori Yes I am impressed you plan a whole week but I should do that too! My fave quick nite meals are tacos/burritos. I make chicken soup even in the summer bc we love it so much! That's quick for me too. And now we can grill a lot bc it's getting warmer. Good luck!!
