I'm tired boss.

Please post your favorite recipes.

I don't mean the whole recipe, but what you make for your family on a regular rotation.

Feeling like I'm in a never-ending loop!

@timeless - We have salmon (or another seafood), chicken, meatless (usually pasta), and once in a while meatloaf or some kind of beef dish. This time of year especially we eat a lot of soup.

I've used a lot of recipes from the Recipes forum. I love to cook when I have time. My schedule varies. But I love to try new recipes.

"Green" Chicken........cooked shredded chicken topped w/salsa verde and a bit of red salsa, then add shredded cheese to the top. 

"Kevin's Korean Chicken" from the meat section of the supermarket served with cooked shredded cabbage/veggies (seasme oil/soy sauce) or else vegetable fried cauliflower rice.

Healthy chicken enchilada casserole

Italian sausage sandwiches

high protein spaghetti w/meatballs

@timeless - our meals are usually basic, easy and quick to make, with nutrition being our focus while keeping the carbs very low.  I will use fresh and frozen berries or green vegetables, and I make fresh tossed salads, but the starchy carbs like rice, beans, potatoes, grains, and pasta stay at the store.  No canned soups or boxed side dishes here either.  The only exception might be a couple from Proper Good or Kettle & Fire - no Campbell or Progresso.  We have many options so we don't get bored.

Any protein we like - thin cut ribeye, boneless pork loin chops, chicken breast, salmon, ribs, grassfed burgers, eggs, bacon, grassfed polish sausage, ground beef, baked ham.  Most often it's seasoned and cooked as a single item, but I also make pulled pork, mississippi roast, low carb/KF lasagna, tacos, fajitas, enchiladas, ham & broccoli casserole, chicken bacon broccoli ranch casserole, chicken florentine, Tuscan chicken, egg roll in a bowl (haven't made that in awhile), pot roast, cheeseburgers, meatloaf, bacon & eggs, soup, etc.

Add a colorful tossed salad or green veg (asparagus, broccoli, brussels sprouts, green beans, cauliflower, cabbage) and dinner is ready.

@JeanLouiseFinch I'd so love to know what you use in your meatloaf. I need to go back to low carb. I assume oats, crackers, or oats are out?

[LizzieInSRQ]

@Eileen in Virginia great list!

Id love to know what is in you Cheese Casserole. Is that a pasta or rice dish?

@LizzieInSRQ - a little almond flour or pork panko.
