We’ve been “on our own” for over a year and a half now, but my selection of dinners that I know how to cook are still really limited. This is the list, to date
Tacos
Pizza
scalloped potatoes (we love this with ham added. mm!)
zatarain’s (does this count? haha)
Basic roast beef/potato/carrot stew
Fried potatoes/sausage/carrots (not even sure what this is called? haha)
Steak
Pork chops / sometimes we shake and bake them
I think that’s it. Might be one or two more that I can’t think of. But anyway I would love your suggestions for dinners to add to our list. We aren’t real into seafood. Other than that most anything is game, though I need to be able to find a recipe or instructions for it online.
I’d really love suggestions for soups. So what do you suggest? What is your favorite dinner to make? To eat?
Hi there! I am Emily Evert, the owner of Emily Reviews. I am 28 and live in a small town in Michigan with my boyfriend Ryan and our two pugs. I have a large family and I adore my nieces and nephews. I love reading memoirs, and learning about child development and psychology. I love watching The Game of Thrones, Teen Mom, Sister Wives and Veep. I like listening to Jason Isbell, John Prine, and other alt-country or Americana music. I created Emily Reviews as a creative outlet to share my life and the products that I love with others.
Mmm I love potato soup! We make a lot of breakfast. French toast, pancakes, frittatas (Our fave is with bacon, potatoes, spinach, and onions). And stirfrys! I have a WOK and LOVE IT! I go to the farmers market and get lots of fresh veggies, shop them up, add chicken, ham, turkey, beek, or pork with rice or pasta.
How about something with pasta? Pasta is the easiest thing to make.. and you can add as much or as little to it as you want. Personally, I like ziti or medium size shells, but obviously spaghetti is pretty popular among pasta eaters.
Make it with ground hamburger (or other meat) or what I usually do, since I’m a vegetarian, is onions, peppers, mushrooms, olives, and/or spinach.. depending on what’s around. And CHEESE of course. I like shredded mozzarella.. but maybe you don’t even like cheese..
Spaghetti is an easy choice. You can put hamburger or sausage in it. Whatever sounds yummy.
Another option is crock pot meals. Today I stuck two whole potatoes, some carrots and a whole fryer chicken in the pot on low for eight hours. TASTY!
For soup I head to the crock pot once again. I get the little seasoning packets for beef stew and chicken noodle soup. Follow the directions on the back. Super easy, cheap, and tasty 😀
Good luck on your cooking adventures! Have a blessed week.
