Since I've used some of the recipes from other blogs I thought I'd share some of our favorites. If you haven't tried it already you should really give Becky's No Peek Beef a try. I made it in the crockpot and we had it over egg noddles. It was great and Olivia loved it too. She couldn't shovel it in fast enough.
I'm not a big planner when it comes to weekly meals. I tend to shop in bulk for meats at Costco so I usually have to add side dishes to what we already have in the freezer. My planning usually begins the night before when I look at Paul and say, what do you want for dinner tomorrow night?
Here are some of the regular things we eat at our house---
Buffalo Chicken Dip-great for a football party or just a snack
3 12oz cans of white meat chicken
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/2 wing sauce-we uses Frank's but I'm sure any brand and any heat would work
1 block of cream cheese
Put everything in a bowl, stir, and microwave for 5 minutes. I usually heat up the cream cheese, ranch, and wing sauce to soften cream cheese for about 3 min and mix then add the chicken mix and microwave for 2-3 more min.
Chicken Enchiladas-not exactly homade but it's quick and easy
4 shredded chicken breasts
2 cans of enchilada sauce-I use Old El Paso
shredded cheese
tortilla shells
*mix shredded chicken and 1 1/2 cans of enchilada sauce
*spoon the chicken and sauce mixture into tortilla shells and roll up, place seam side down in baking dish
*pour remaining sauce on enchiladas and sprinkle shredded cheese on top
*bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes
*This usually makes about 8 or 9 enhailadas, don't forget to spray Pam in your baking dish
Chicken Casserole-I'm not really sure the proper name for this but Tara Bailey brought it to us when Olivia was born and we've been making it ever since
4 shredded chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 8oz container sour cream
1 sleeve Ritz Crackers
1 stick of butter
Mix chicken, sour cream, and cream of chicken in a bowl. Once it's mixed well put in a baking dish. I use a 8x8 dish to make it a little thicker.
Melt butter, crush crackers and mix. Place crackers on top of chicken.
Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
I tend to grill most nights so if anyone out there has some quick and easy side dishes that go well with chicken, pork chops, and steak please share.

YUM, can't wait to try them!! They all sound yummy!! I can't wait to get my new oven.. Thanks, we do love the No Peek Beef.. We grill a lot too and usually do a salad, other veggies, mac-n-cheese (or other kinds of pre-packaged pastas or potatoes), or red potatoes cut & boiled then sprayed w/Parkay Spray. If you like onions: Vidalia onions, strip the outside skin, cut a little bowl in the top, place a beef boullion cube & a pat of butter in it, wrap in foil in a baking pan in a 425 degree oven. Bake until onions are soft, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Goes great with steak! Sometimes we cut up onions/potatoes/red&green bell peppers/garlic, mix with a little EVOO, wrap in foil & bake for about an hour on 425.
