Some of my "go-to" recipes/meals

While these aren't recipes, I thought I'd share some of my go-to meals.  You know, the meals I put together with very little effort, with relative frequency, and generally without needing a recipe.
  • Sausage, eggs & rice
    • Scramble some eggs, cook some rice, slice kielbasa (beef or turkey) and heat it in a skillet. Serve with syrup and/or soy sauce. It does not get easier, although it does require three pans if you want it all ready at the same time. We eat this at least twice a month.  The beef kielbasa is better, but the turkey has WAY less fat. I buy it on sale (Hillshire farms is our favorite). 
  • Tacos/burritos and Mexican rice
  • Sweet bean burritos
  • Buttermilk waffles
  • Teriyaki chicken and rice
  • Spaghetti and meatballs
    • I have a crazy easy meatball recipe and they freeze terrifically. 12-16 oz of ground meat, 1 egg, 1/3 C Italian bread crumbs. Bake for 20 minutes on 350, turn over and bake for another 15.
  • Crock Pot pulled pork
  • Katie's veggie mac and cheese
  • Huevos rancheros
  • Choppe BBQ chicken salad
  • Taquitos
I'm sure there are others so I'll come back and add if/when I think about it.  In the spirit of Alyson's call to revamp the blog (and her recent posts), at the very least a few more "go-to" meal ideas would be helpful.  I'm always looking for ideas, regardless of how mundane they might seem.

So, perhaps everyone else should add their ideas, too, hint hint!  :)
