Default Easy Dinner Recipes

Speaking of what's for dinner, can anyone share their quick dinner ideas? Either with no work for the crockpot or something I can prepare and freeze? I'm not in the cooking mood lately, but, am also looking for some ideas for foods that I can make and freeze for when the baby comes.

Any ideas?

My sister makes up big batches of lasgnaga and freezes them in meal size portions to pop in the oven at a later date. She basically sets aside about 1 day a week to make up a bunch of food and freezes most of it, so she doesn't spend so much time during the week preping meals.

I've shared this before, I think... it's a family favorite.

Chicken
(whatever your family likes... I use boneless skinless breasts most of the time)

1 can of diet Coke
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
Mix together....

Pour over chicken in crock pot - and cook for 8 hours or more on low.

I love to shred the chicken while still in the crockpot and let it absorb the sauce. It's so easy, a 4 year old could do it.

I vary how I serve it, sometimes with baked fries and corn, or mashed potatoes. Sometimes on rolls... sometimes not. Yum-O!

I recommend "Don't Panic-Dinner's in the Freezer". There are several recipes in there that I make ahead and freeze. We've had the most luck with the chicken recipes. I just got Racheal Ray's Express Lane cookbook and I'm gonna try a couple of recipes out of it this week. I'll let you know how they turn out.
