Mine is the Parmesan Crusted Chicken recipe on the Hellman's mayo jar. It'seems so easy to get into a cooking Rut.  When I tried this recipe, I knew it was something we' have every couple of weeks.  I make it with boneless chicken thighs instead of the breasts.  Much more juicy and flavorful.  

What's yours?

My go to meal?  I go to the freezer and try to find spagetti sauce, homemade vegetable soup, or chili.

A chicken taco salad or chicken enchiladas or a layered pizza casserole.

Ive never tried the parmasan crusted chicken, sounds good. I know what you mean about getting into a cooking rut !

I grew up on this dish, when I was first married we had this quite often, and now we have this just because it is easy, tastes good, and fills you up:

2 Cups Elbow Macaroni (cooked according to package instructions and drained)

1-2 Pounds Hamburger (I only use 1 pound but if hubby makes it he likes more meat so he uses 2) cooked until no longer pink in the middle and drained

2 Cans Stewed Tomatoes, Drained

2 Cans Tomato Soup

Place all ingredients in large pan and heat.

My go to meal usually involves chicken, most often a stir fry with whatever veg is in the refrigerator..

The concept of "go to" is strange to me.  My approach to meal planning is to first compile a seven day menu, then to grocery shop accordingly. Therefore, I always know "what's for dinner."

This is a Recipes forum, so here is the recipe I used for last night's dinner: 

Zuppa Toscana 
QVC Recipe Swap | On 5/18/2011 by lavendersage

1 pound Italian sausage
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
6 slices bacon, torn or cut into smaller pieces
1 large onion, diced
1 clove of garlic, minced
2 - 2 ½ quarts (8 - 10 cups) chicken broth
6 cups of potatoes, thinly sliced with skin on..russet or Yukon gold are good (about 3 russets)
1 cup half ‘n half
2- 3 cups of kale, in bite size pieces
top with grated Parmesan cheese

Remove the Italian sausage from casings and brown with red pepper flakes in a large pot. Drain and set aside.

Cook the bacon in the same pot until crisp. Drain, reserve about 2 tablespoons of drippings with the bacon in the pot. Stir in the onions and garlic; cook until onions are soft, about 5 minutes.

Pour the chicken broth into the pot with the bacon and onion; bring to a boil.

Add the potatoes, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes on medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the half n half and the cooked sausage; heat through; don't boil.

Add the kale and let cook until desired tenderness...5-10 minutes.

Grate Parmesan cheese on top of servings.

My go to meal is shrimp.  I keep a bag of frozen cooked shrimp, frozen uncooked shrimp, and a large box of breaded shrimp in the freezer all the time.  Shrimp cooks fast (stir fry, scampi) or is great on a salad.  Go to for me means I haven't planned anything and my husband will be home for dinner.  He travels a lot and therefore has to eat out.  When he is in town, he prefers a home cooked meal.
