We eat so much healthier and cheaper and are so much more efficient with time when we're organized.<br /><br />A favorite at our house is to buy the rotisserie chicken HT always has on sale on Sundays to eat with a couple of sides, and then use the leftover chicken for fajitas a couple of days later.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041767744936689786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307995130397650439.post-6525279891284224892009-04-20T21:20:00.000-04:002009-04-20T21:20:00.000-04:00Oh and Heather you are right turkey burgers are fa...Oh and Heather you are right turkey burgers are fantastic - I put some onions in my mini food processor and puree them and add that to my ground turkey that I mix into burgers - just a little snazziness.

A good really quick, really easy favorite is chicken parmesan - get the frozen package of already breaded (and basically cooked) Tyson chicken breasts put them in a baking dish, sprinkle a little oregano over them, dump a jar of tomato sauce over them, sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on top, cook @425 for 15 minutes (or however long the chicken package says). I make a little salad and a side of spaghetti noodles to go with it. Meal planning is so great! And you have done a GREAT job with variety.

Some frozen tortellini or some angel hair and a chicken breast come together for a quick meal. Or meatball subs. Tomato sauce is my quick fix for most everything :)Marty, a.k.a. canapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15061361665908074413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307995130397650439.post-53214289351423993732009-04-19T23:43:00.000-04:002009-04-19T23:43:00.000-04:00Hey Cyndi -

We shop at Super Target and they have some in the frozen section. You thaw them out and slap them on the grill for a few minutes. We will grill some red potatoes or make sweet potato mashed potatoes (cut up, boil and mash with some butter and cheese), add a salad and you are good to go.<br /><br />We are a big fan of ground turkey (no red meat at our house) and we make turkey burgers once a week with grilled corn on the cob, some potatoes or just a big yummy salad. Again - quick and easy (and cheap).<br /><br />I recently tried ground turkey for tacos - very tasty, although, a couple of tacos feels more like a snack than a dinner so I need to figure out a "side" for that.<br /><br />Macaroni Grill makes 4-5 "pasta mixes" in the pasta section that you just add chicken to. They are pretty tasty and easy. I think the one in our pantry right now is creamy basil.<br /><br />Bella eats all of it, so hopefully, those are some kid friendly suggestions.<br /><br />Have a great week -<br />HeatherProud Mama and Papahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992296148449272525noreply@blogger.com
