This is one of those quick and easy meals, that I can whip together in a few minutes when I am short on time and have hungry little mouths to feed. I got this recipe from my friend Stephanie a couple of years ago. It is a huge hit with my boys. Connor my oldest LOVES pasta and TJ my second oldest LOVES tacos–so this dish pleases them both. It is like tacos in a pasta form. You can adjust how spicy it is with the type of enchilada sauce and salsa you choose to use. Perfect dinner for a busy night!

grilled chicken with vegetables and a dinner roll!
Favorite meal that is homemade? Crepes. Favorite meal that is not? Frozen pizza.
When we are in a hurry I seem to always make haystacks. The kids love them and they are fast.
My favorite meal on a busy night is chicken quesadillas, salad and cut up fruit.
I make grilled cheese sandwiches and soup. Looking for a new favorite!
cold cereal! nothing faster!
My favorite meal on a busy night is anything from the crockpot that I can prepare early in the day. Except that takes planning, so if I forget to do that, it's pb&j
Yum-German pancakes are the fastest for me!
On a busy night, I like to make smothered burritos. I just brown ground beef, put in some taco seasoning, and add a can of refried beans. Meanwhile, I heat up a can of red enchilada sauce. Then everyone can fill a burrito with the meat mixture and pour some sauce over. Top with diced tomatoes, lettuce, olives, cheese, sour cream, whatever you like. :) It looks impressive for very little work.
I love coming home to a meal that's been cooking all day in the crock pot, like Thai Chicken (http://lindstewfoodies.blogspot.com/2010/02/thai-chicken-in-crock-pot.html). With some minute brown rice and a quick veggie side, you've got a great meal in 15 minutes!
It would have to be breakfast for dinner! It's not just for busy nights, it works well for nights when I don't want to force feed my children whatever delicious meal I have made that they refuse to eat. They are the world's pickiest eaters!
Spaghetti is my go to dish. I always have the simple ingredients on hand.
Taco soup is one of our favorites. But when we are really really busy, POPCORN! :0)
BUrritos is my favorite fast go to meal!!Homemade ones not the frozen kind
chicken/broccoli fettuccine alfredo
Well if I'm really busy my favorite meal would be delivered pizza since I have to do zero work on it. But I'm sure that doesn't count so I'd have to say quesadillas since they are super quick with the quesadilla maker we got as a wedding gift.
bow tie pasta with broccoli and shrimp
A busy night in the winter – a rotisserie chicken and mashed potatoes from the store deli and a side of peas. Simple and satisfying. In the summer, big salads which grilled chicken and whatever I have in the fridge or the freezer. (I put frozen corn and frozen peas right on top – the thaw in no time.)
I have lots of quick dinners. Quesadilla's, grilled cheese sandwiches, waffles. Not real creative but the family always loves them.
Chicken Taco Soup is always quick, easy and there's usually enough leftover for planned lunches!
Chicken and dumplings. This takes no time if you already have your chicken cooked and your broth reserved. A frozen pizza come in second. Just stick it in the oven and help the kids with homework while it cooks! Teresa

I have a bottled soup that all I need to add is hamburger, noodles and water-actually it's more like a goulash. It's quite tasty.
We whip out the panini grill on busy nights. That, or we do waffles. Breakfast for dinner is one of my favorites!
Ground turkey, can of rotel, can of black beans, cooked noodles and shredded cheese. A quick one skillet wonder!
grilled cheese and soup!
We're having ours for dinner tonight since I still haven't made it to the store yet…taco salad! We always have meat, tortilla chips and salad on hand so it's easy to throw together.
Grilled Tuna Sandwiches are simple, quick and good!
Grilled burritos, taco salad, panini sandwiches. Those are probably are top favorites.
Cold cereal here too! Love your blog!
I love to make soups in the winter, they taste good and are easy to put together at the last minute. Especially my favorite, Black Bean Soup.
Our go-to busy night meal is most often pancakes or french toast. But I love having dinner already in the crockpot or ready to stick in the oven right before dinnertime.
Probably some sort of pasta. Cook it up and it's done. Yum.
I love making meals with rotisserie chicken meat! It is so easy to shred up for tacos, burritos, soups or on salads. It give you a lot of variety as well :)
I love anything in the crockpot when I am busy and short on time…but my favorite are pork chops in the crockpot…so tender and yummy!
Favorite busy night meal..homemade waffles and sausages..easy
Oh boy could I use this book! On those nights when nothing seems to be coming together, we usually resort to frozen junk out of the freezer – pizza, chicken nuggets… not so healthy things. I know this book would be so helpful, then my freezer would be full of yummy AND healthy food!
MIne is definitely spaghetti. Quick and easy.
One of our favorites is soft shelled tacos and my kids can't get enough!
On a busy night we make cheddar meatloaves. They are my husbands favorite he requests them at least 2 times a week. It takes 5 minutes to mix them up add the sauce and put them in the oven. Best with Baked potato and corn! Yum Yum!
On a busy night I make tortellini sausage soup. It only has about 5 ingredients and my kids and hubby love it! No one ever feels like mom skimped even with this easy meal!
Thelissa
Cold cereal! Of course I don't have any kids and my husband works swing shift…so I can get away with it. :)
However after making the Honey Lime Enchiladas last week, that may become my "go to" meal. It was easy and delicious!
I love bottling chicken, because I can use it in a pinch for any quick meal, like spaghetti or tacos.
It would have to be a breakfast, usually pancakes or waffles. The quickest meal to make in a "pinch".

Hands down the easiest fastest thing to prepare is Honey Lemon Rosemary Chicken. Place the chicken in a oven dish, pour the honey mix on top and bake at 350 for an hour! (1/3 c. honey, 1/4 c. lemon juice, 2 tsp crushed rosemary, 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes). Super flavorful, moist and restaurant quality! While it cooks steam a side vegetable and serve with rolls. YUMMY! Granted you have to wait for it to cook but in the evening it takes 30-45 minutes to wait for a delivered pizza.
Chicken stir fry.
We have two fav fast meals. First is, of course, breakfast for dinner. Second is not so traditional. It's bean flop-overs with grape jelly and salsa- sounds weird but so yummy! (spread half tortilla with refried beans, sprinkle shredded cheese, fold over, butter both sides and cook in skillet or on a cookie sheet and broil in oven. Serve with grape jelly (jam) spread on it and salsa on top of that… fast and yummy).
We usually have couscous with veggies. Super easy and super delicious! Thanks for the giveaway!
Bean burritos seem to be our busy go-to meal. Husband always likes them and my toddler generally does. :)
I love black bean, pineapple, and cilantro wraps. We throw on some Raspberry Chipotle Sauce we are lucky enough to have, and just add whatever else we can find.
Another easy one is spinach salad – I keep a homemade jar of maple vinegarette handy, add frozen blueberries, blue cheese, and sliced almonds, and have a delicious meal!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Sorry, I forgot to leave my email address – clearly my brain is fried and I need a recipe book to do some of my thinking for me. Schofieldfamily at gmail dot com. Thanks!

My favorite meal on a busy night is Easy Alfredo from allrecipes.com. I almost always have everything on hand and it is so good and EASY!
Grilled quesadillas with shredded chicken (canned) and black beans!!
We whip out the quesadilla maker and throw whatever we have in the fridge between the tortillas. Sometimes just veggies and cheese, sometimes chicken or leftover taco meat and beans. Yum and FAST!
My whole family loves a quick and lazy potatoes with stroganoff. We just toss potatoes in the microwave (pierce them with a fork or knife first). Then I combine ground beef, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream to create a sauce for the top.
I like to make spaghetti or peanut butter sandwices.
Taco salad. But if it's a really busy night, Taco Bell!

On a busy night I like to fix cream cheese chicken served over minute rice with steamed green beans. In a crockpot put in boneless/skinless chicken (I use 3 pieces). In a blender mix cream cheese, 1 can of cream of chicken soup and a small can of pineapple juice. Pour mixture over chicken and cook on low for 5 hours. It is so simple, yet delicious! It's a family favorite!!! Enjoy! Thanks for being my favorite blog!
