Each week I search cookbooks, magazines, and the internet and plan out 5 main meals. These meals have been tested and adaptations and tips are provided when needed. I'm here to help make Bringing Back Dinner to your home go a little more smoothly with Meal planning and recipes plus tips.
Tip: If you find that the recipe links take a lot of time/memory to load try using the print recipe feature and print to pdf.
Black Bean, Sweet Potato, Corn Hash - Eating Well Magazine
Serves: 2-4 - The recipe says 2, but we always get more servings out of it
Time: 35 Minutes
Easy
If I tell you how many years I've been making this dish you will figure out that I am ummm, not as young as I used to be. Let's just say we moved from how many years to how many decades! It's an easy, quick, and nutritious meal.
Tips:
We usually make this as is, but for a little spiced-up flavor try adding chipotle powder or chipotle in adobo sauce.
Baja Fish Tacos - Half Baked Harvest
Serves: 4
Time: 25 minutes
Easy

If you can't find Cotija cheese, Feta works great
Any fish will do

Grilled Pork Chops - Dinner at the Zoo
Serves: 4
Time: 30 minutes + 1 hour marinating time
Easy
We rarely make pork chops, but I love them. My grandmother would make a simple dinner of a Porkchop, sliced tomatoes, and Navy beans and I thought it was the best. Sometimes she would make mine BBQ Shake-N-Bake as a special treat, I can smell it just thinking about it! That's right, aging myself again!
Spaghetti Bar
Time: 30 minutes
Easy
A fun and easy spaghetti meal that we like to do is a spaghetti bar.
Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package place in a large bowl and add a little olive oil to keep it from sticking
Saute peppers and onions and put in a small bowl
Saute mushrooms and put in a small bowl
Saute Zucchini until golden brown, but still firm and put in a small bowl
Cook sausages or meatballs and put in a small bowl
A bowl of shredded cheese
Heat your favorite sauce
I like to make this one from Hugh Acheson but you can also use your favorite recipe or a jar.
Set the table with the bowl of spaghetti and the small bowls of toppings and let everyone help themselves. Works great as buffet style on the counter and we've even done it in the back yard picnic style.
Broccoli Cheese Studel - Mooswood Café & Washington Post
Serves: 4
Time: 1 hour
Moderate - Not really but Phyllo sheets can be intimidating. Don't fear it, just drive right in!
