Members ladylove Posted January 9, 2010 Members Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Ok meat loaf is pretty basic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Review Team sass Posted January 9, 2010 Review Team Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Baked chicken - have him shake-n-bake it or just use bread crumbs or whatever, then bake it. Pretty simple and he can use chicken breasts or legs or thighs or whatever he likes (although breasts seem to freeze best). Soups and stews freeze pretty well, too. I will try to think of more.

Members square Posted January 9, 2010 Members Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Does he like to cook at all? I mean, even though he doesn't know how to cook many things, does he enjoy doing it or is it just a total grind for him? Might dictate what type of stuff is on the menu.What did he eat before you came along to cook for him?==========================================1) Hamburgers, Ore-Ida Crispers, and corn or some other microwaved frozen veggie or some canned baked beans.2) Chunky Soup over rice. Sirloin Burger or Steak and Potato used to be good, though I haven't had it in a long time and it seems like some of the Chunky brand soups have gotten stingy with the amount of meat they put in. Use real rice, not minute rice. Can use white rice or brown rice. (I'm gravitating toward brown rice in my old age)3) Chicken legs and thighs; put in a baking pan, put a patty of butter on each one and sprinkle with Lawry's Seasoned Salt. Bake (maybe 350 degrees for 45 minutes or so). Halfway through, spoon some of the juices back over each piece.Serve with Stovetop Stuffing and a frozen veggie.4) Spaghetti. Put some cooked up ground beef in with your favorite jar sauce, and maybe add some oregano and basel, or the pre-packaged italian seasoning, plus some pepper, minced garlic, and a bit of chili powder (not enough to make it taste like chili, though).5) Cheese ravioli.6) Frozen pizza.7) Fry up a pound-plus of ground beef. Pour off the grease if you prefer. Mix in a heaping spoonful of flour. Add a can (14 - 16 ounce) of chicken broth. Cook for a while to boil off some liquid and thicken it up. You can add mushrooms if your not one of those anti-fungus militants.Serve over mashed potatoes, with ketchup. (real mashed potatoes, not the boxed crud)8) Perogies. When I was single I just ate them with spaghetti sauce. My wife makes other sauces for them, but I couldn't tell you what.9) Are you anywhere near Wharton? You could get some Rocky's Pasties. I'm pretty sure you can get them cooked or frozen.10) How about eggs or french toast or pancakes for dinner once in a while, with maybe sausage or bacon or some other side?11) Hot dogs. What self-respecting husband wouldn't serve up hot dogs once in a while.Others have already mentioned chili and mutt-loaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members square Posted January 9, 2010 Members Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 (after looking at your other thread)I guess a lot of these have a bunch of salt, so maybe not such great ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thurisas Posted January 9, 2010 Members Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Simple yet Yummy.Baked Stuffed Porkchops-Preheat oven to 375 degrees.-Prepare Stovetop-like Stuffing per the directions.

Review Team sass Posted January 10, 2010 Review Team Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 How about Chili?Brown a pound of ground beef, put it in a large pot with chilli beans, tomato sauce, some chili powder, some water if need-be, cook it all up and eat it or freeze it.

Members mailahn97 Posted January 25, 2010 Members Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 How's it all going angel????Unfortunately she can't sign on to TT unless at home. It is blocked obviously at the Ronald McDonald House. The baby is up to 2 pounds from her birth weight of 1 pound 10 ounces. They are doing some meds to help her heart valve close. Something they are born with when this premature. They did the first round of the meds and there was a drastic change in the circulation for the better. They are starting a second round and will go from there. She is feisty like mommy. AK was telling me last night that the nurse came in to do her stuff and the baby was throwing a fit. She does not like change. Then the doctor came in to repeat the Echo and the baby got pissed and was kicking and throwing her arms around then all of a sudden she ran out of steam and her limbs just dropped and she rested. Still have a long road ahead of them so please keep them in your thoughts and prayer. She is two weeks old today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
