We make tacos with ground turkey. Sometimes the kids will eat them too! Thanks for the gorgeous fabric giveaway!
if you like chinese food this recipe is easy and amazingly delicious: http://life-as-a-lofthouse.blogspot.com/2010/09/baked-sweet-and-sour-chicken-with-fried.html
My go-to dinner is stirfry with some ramen noodles. Super easy with frozen veggies even and a block of tofu or a sliced chicken breast. (Even easier if I can get my husband to do it. I just keep telling him how amazing his stirfry is. Flattery gets you everywhere!)
Also, it is difficult to see where to type the information into your comment fields. I don’t know if you can add a border or something. I’d hate to have you miss commenters. 🙂
I like taco casserole. Place fritos on the bottom of a casserole dish top with seasoned hamburger (we use taco bell mild taco sauce), cheese and black olives. (you can use refried beans if you like those) Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until it’s hot. Serve with tomatoes, lettuce, and sour cream on the side. The kids usually eat it without the extras. Super easy and it’s not just a taco!
Our go to dinner on busy nights is ground turkey and black bean chili! Easy and nummy!
I love chicken enchiladas and tacos!
I make leftover bacon sandwiches. Chop some bacon, sautee with favorite seasonings (salt, pepper, and dried jalapenos in our house), add leftovers (chicken, turkey, roast beef, etc). Scoop onto toasted bread and cheese. Delicious and easy. I don’t know about kid friendly though…. Just me and my husband – hence the jalapenos. 😀
I love to make crock-pot potato soup–secret is to use frozen hash-browns but don’t stir it while cooking or they dissolve 😉
We love quesadillas here. any meat + cheese a quick brown in the pan & serve with avocados & sour cream for dipping!
Anything in the crock pot. Roasts, chickens, pork chops…just add some veggies and it will be waiting for you.
I like to boil some pasta, use a good jarred sauce, and brown up some meat. That way we have a quick spaghetti dinner in about 20-30 ish minutes total. I typically doctor up the sauce and if I’m feeling especially healthy I’ll steam a side of veggies in the microwave!
We love pulled pork sandwiches- put Boston Butt pork roast in crock pot for 8 hours on low with one bottle of hickory smoke for every two pounds of pork. When it falls off bone, take it out, pull it, and serve on buns with bbq sauce! Yummy!!
My husband and I like to make chili in our crock pot – brown the meat (beef or turkey) and open the cans: two of chili beans, one diced tomatos, one pureed tomatos, and to make it really easy, buy frozen seasoning blend (diced onions, celery and peppers) and throw that it. Season to your taste – eay! We like to serve it with tortilla chips, shredded cheddar and sour cream. Makes me hungry! Thanks for the give away.
Our go to is breakfast for dinner. Bacon in oven pancakes and scrabled eggs with fruit on side. My kids new teens so they can do eggs and bacon while I do pancakes. Love the fabric.
I definitely have caught the texty bug! I can’t get enough. On weekdays I like to make quick meals and I typically end up making something mexican like fajitas or taquitos and usually just beans and veggies. There is a great taquito recipe on one of my fav food blogs
http://www.annies-eats.com/2011/04/27/creamy-chicken-taquitos/
My go to quick week-night meal has to be what we call Hodge-Podge. It’s Mac-n-Cheese with ground beef and mixed veggies. Mix it all together and you got yourself a satisfying meal both the hubs and kiddos will love. Another great plus about this meal…it will easily last a couple nights. We always have leftovers.
Lovely giveaway! For easy dinners, I like to make soups. Too bad my family isn’t loving this idea as much as I do though!
My go-to quick dinner isn’t very healthy, but I like to make mac and cheese with little bits of chedderwurst in it. Yum
Thanks for the fab giveaway! I follow you in my google reader. My go-to quick weeknight dinner is sauteed sausage and cabbage. Just fry up some sausage (like jimmy dean sage or soemthing) and put in a ton of green cabbage. Nice veggie and the sausage gives is excellent flavor. Its one of our faves!
I love to make casseroles with noodles and veggies — maybe some hamburger or tuna — with cream of mushroom or celery soup – it is easy and there are leftovers. Thanks for the chance! 🙂
Love me some text fabrics!!
My go to dinner on busy weeknights is pasta and meatballs, I get everything ready made at the supermarket all I need to do is cook the pasta! How’s that for a lazy mum 😉
My go to simple, easy dinner that is always a crowd pleaser for my 3 guys is French Bread or naan bread pizza. It is as simple as it sounds. cut your loaf in half or use the naan bread, spread with your fav sauce or any in the fridge and top with your fave topping or any leftovers that seem appealing, then top with your fav cheese, and bake on 350 until all the cheese is melted and bread is crispy.:) Yum!! My personal fav is feta cheese with bacon chuncks and chives on naan bread. oh now I am hungry. LOL Wishing you happy holidays and thank you for a chance to win!
tuna melts xoxox and i definitely have the text bug …thanks for the chance xoxo
First of all anything in the crockpot. I also like to make an oven stouffer (chicken), then the next day you can chunk up some and add it to some veggies and fettuccine, for chicken fettuccine. Then last but not least put the rest in a pot of water and cook until the chicken almost falls off the bone and make soup. It’s all perfect for this time of year. ;-> Toni Anne
my slow cooker (crockpot) is a life saver for busy days, having dinner made at lunchtime always makes me feel like I can handle anything! Thanks for the give away!
Love the text prints! Our easy/quick dinners would be (1) breakfast for dinner (biscuits and gravy) or (2) packaged tortellini or cheese ravioli in the refrigerated section of the store – super fast to cook, add pasta sauce, bake some crescents in the oven and you are done within 15 minutes.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Amanda
I love me so me texty fabric!
Go to dinners…eggs and toast.
I like Taco-Stuffed Shells as a go-to. Brown 2lbs ground beef, add two envelopes taco seasoning mix and water. I also add some canned corn (you can do beans too). Let cool. Cook shells to al dente and drain, lay out on parchment paper to cool individually. Stuff cooled shells with taco meat mixture. Put a cup of salsa in a roasting pan, add stuffed shells and cover with 1 cup taco sauce. You can also add some sliced olives or green onions at this time too. Bake at 350 degrees for 1/2 hour. Add 2 cups shredded taco cheese and crushed tortilla chips about 10 minutes before done.
Our go-to meal is lasagna! (Out of the box.) 🙂
Oh I love these! Quesadillas–put frozen chicken and taco seasoning in the crockpot at noon, then when it’s cooked, shred in kitchenaid with paddle attachment and make into quesadillas.
I’ve been making chicken piccata using the Food Network’s Good Eats Turkey Picatta recipe. So delicious. And it can feed an army if you serve it on rice 🙂
I like anything in a crock pot. My favorite is crock pot lasagna. You put the noodles in dry with all the other ingredients and a few hours later you have perfect lasagna.
Baked potato night. Both sweet & white with plenty of toppings. We always have cheese, sour cream, & scallions in the house, and usually have ranch & bleu cheese dressings, and quick cook bacon. Our favorites are sweet potatoes with cinnamon, butter, bacon crumbles, candied pecans and a sprinkle of cayenne.
I <3 those fabrics! I usually keep fixings for burgers and fries on hand, and can even slice potatoes thin if we don't have frozen fries 🙂

Love some good text fabrics!
My go to comfort meal is – spaghetti with a bottle of wine!
i don’t have any text fabrics but would love to work w/some! brown rice and beans! or any combo of things i can stew in the crockpot if you have a bit of time in the morning to get it together.
thanks
Yippy! I love a simple spinach and beet salad!
My go-to-dinner is normally a cheese and bacon toasted sandwich, with whatever fruit is in the bowl for a few vitamins thrown in. Perfect for a single person, for a family maybe not so much. Four days of cheese and bacon sandwiches in a week may scar your poor kids for life! lol
Love the text fabrics – so pretty! Thanks for the giveaway. 🙂
I have a couple of go-to dinner’s. One is salad with grilled shrimp. Frozen shrimp is so quick to thaw with just some cold water, so I always have it on hand. I also do roasted broccoli and/or cauliflower from frozen bags in a pinch. It takes about 45 minutes to roast with a little EVOO and salt, but tastes so yummy. A gold ol’ omelet is always a good dinner idea using whatever leftover veggies are around.
Well I don’t know how much your kids would love Chinese food (shrimp and broccoli with a side of crab rangoons) but that’s my fave 🙂 Excellent giveaway!
I make pasta with sause that i have made on the weekend and freeze. Simple and my kids love it.
Thanks for the chance to win, these fabrics are amazing!
I just discovered your blog. Love it! I’m going to follow faithfully from here on. I’d LOVE to win your fabrics. I’ve been noticing them on quilting blogs, but haven’t seen any in my local fabric store.
Crossing fingers, toes and eyelashes for this pile of beauty! My go to tends to be tuna casserole… easy and a comfort food all at the same time lol
Burritos are a quick dinner fave for me. And if you are trying to be extra healthy, you can skip the wrap and just make up a salad with the veges and other fillings. I love text fabrics so much – have definitely caught the bug!
I love text fabric ! What is that print with the grids ? I’ve never seen it before..
When I’m in a hurry, I like to make chili. It takes about 15 minutes to prepare and then maybe 2o minutes to cook and you have delicious and complete meal 🙂
We make a lot of tacos and nachos with ground turkey. Easy and the kids love it!
If I’m in a pinch, I make hutspot. Potatoes and carrots cooked and mashed together with butter and salt and milk. Boil a sausage and you’ve got supper of meat potatoes and vegetables!
Thanks for the giveaway.
Breakfast for dinner is my standby, especially when my hubs is traveling on business. Our kids think it is a treat, and it is fairly easy for me to whip up with ingredients I always have on hand. Omlets or pancakes make for a quick and tasty dinner for us! Thanks for the chance at these awesome texty prints!
Such great fabric! A go-to dinner I like is potstickers (frozen) with veggies and brown rice!
Our go-to quickie dinner is Tacos…from a box kit. Thanks!
Wonderful fabrics! Who wouldn’t love written prints! I’m not good with kitchen but one our quick favourites is lots of boiled different vegetables and homemade sauce with magionez (salt, pepper, lemon, horseradish, parsley) and if there is also smoked solomon even better! Kali oreksi = good appetite! x Teje
My go-to dinner for a busy week night is a crockpot with either chili or stew. Thanks for the sweet giveaway.
Oh, I love text prints. I’m absolutely smitten with this bundle.
My go-to dinner when I’m tired and in a hurry is quesadillas. Easy to make, good for using up leftover meats or vegetables, and kind of fun to eat, too.
I follow your wonderful blog and I love love texty prints. You are probably too busy, but if you have the time, could you tell me the names of the prints you have in your texty bundle? I am assuming that I will not win, but I love these fabrics and think that they should be on my xmas list.
As for dinners, I just open the frig each night to find that the magic dinner fairy has not prepped dinner for me and then just try to make something in 5 minutes with a child on my hip.
My quick go-to dinner is nachos with homemade chips. Fry up some cut up corn tortillas, then top with a can of beans, a shake of taco seasoning, some salsa, and cover all with cheese. Pop under the broiler for a few minutes, and done.
My quickie go to dinner is denver sandwiches and tomato soup!
Thank you for the chance.
Pasta and sauce in this house. Fab giveaway, I love texty prints 🙂
This soup is made in the slow cooker and is really really good! http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/main-courses/turkey-taco-soup-3/
Really neat ‘texty’ fabric bundle! At my house the default ‘don’t-feel-like-cooking’ dinner is refried bean & cheese Mexican anything…soft taco, burritto, nachos, etc. We lived in Dallas in the 70’s & 80’s and have never eaten the same again! 🙂
We eat a lot of breakfast burritos for dinner, but I also try to make a lot of large batches of soup. My current favorite is chicken tortilla soup. Yum!
Thanks for the giveaway! My easy dinner is pasta with frozen homemade sauce.
I’m lazy and heat up a Trader Joe’s Jaipur vegetable meal with rice and frozen garlic naan, mmm.
I’m a grad student so mac’n cheese is a go-to for me 🙂
spaghetti is always good 🙂
Fantastic bundle! Thanks for the chance! I don’t even have kids yet (expecting in February!), but fast dinners are still a challenge! Pastas with veggies are always pretty easy. I like easy turkey chili – brown the meat, dump in the beans, tomatoes, spice as you like!
Texty fabrics are so much fun! Grilled cheese sandwiches done in the frying pan (no extra oil or anything) with a hearty (bought) soup.
Enchillada casserole! Way faster than rolling enchilladas. Layer of tortillas – whatever you want in between – another layer – more stuff – layer of tortillas on top with cheese and sauce on top – so good!
Love text prints!
Try a sour cream noodle bake – yum
We have a newborn at home so lately our go to dinners have been what our amazing family and friends have been bringing us. A friends just brought a casserole that was tortellini, alfredo sauce and chicken. With a breadcrumb topping. I was really good and really easy!
Every time I make chili or spaghetti sauce, I make a ton and freeze it in mason jars. So that ends up being a quick, go-to. My son also loves pesto and I do the same- make a ton and freeze it in smaller containers. He loves pesto pizza and pasta. Use pesto sauce instead of reg pizza sauce. I buy the pizza dough at trader joes. My son also loves cornflake chicken- buy chicken tenders, soak them in buttermilk, salt, and pepper. Coat with crushed corn flakes and bake until crispy.
Lovely fabrics!!!
As a busy mom, I have to admit, I order take-out way too much…lol
Hi Janice, Thanks for the chance at these great fabrics! I spent some time filling up my freezer recently with pizza crusts/shredded cheese/pizza sauce, frozen uncooked meatballs/marinara sauce and also tomato soup that we like to have with grilled cheese. These are 3 meals that I can easily grab out of the freezer in make in about 30 minutes.
Hamburgers and chicken cutlets. A bit boring but it works all the time for a 6-yo boy and a 3-yo girl.
It’s not fancy, but my favorite “quick” supper is a fried egg sandwich (on toast). Yummie!!! Love these text fabrics – thanks for the chance to win some!
I love the peasant pasta recipe on Food Network’s website. It’s fast, easy and tasty.
Love the texty fabrics! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love anything that I can throw in a slow cooker in the morning and have it ready at suppertime! Thanks for this fantastic giveaway. I certainly have caught the text bug!
My daughter is constantly asking for Goulash. It is quick and, with the extra fresh veggies I add, healthy, too.
Sorry, I don’t cook much. My “go to” dinner is a soy chicken patty sandwich.
If I am really short on time….cereal! Otherwise, anything with ground beef.
I often make a spicy sausage penne. 🙂
I like to make my own spin on stir fry steak or chicken with some rice and sweet carrots! Thanks for the chance to win!
My go to dinner is enchiladas. (or if I’m really out of time, chicken fingers!)
I like to make white chicken chili in the crock pot. I have a recipe the kids LOVE and you can start with frozen chicken breasts if you are really in a hurry! If you want the recipe email me and I will send it to you.
I love lasagna and we usually make enough for two days. Thanks!
breakfast for dinner is always a crowd pleaser
Pulled Pork in a Crockpot
3-4 lb pork loin or shoulder
1 can root beer
Place both in crockpot, cook 6-7 hours on low. Remove meat, drain root beer. Shred meat, place back in crockpot with a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce til hot. Serve on buns with coleslaw.
we often have an oven baked chicken and asparagus risotto. yum!
we frequently make chicken teriyaki or something. It’s the sauce that is incredible and you can use it on pork or whatever you’ve got. It’s 1 C. soy sauce, 1 C. brown sugar, 1 tablespoon garlic, 1 tablespoon oil, and then add as much fresh or powdered ginger as you like and 1/4 cup red wine vinegar and stir. it’s so good! And I’m seriously crossing all my extremities to win this bundle! drooling! Thanks for an awesome blog and giveaway!!
Breakfast for supper is our go to meal when we are in a rush….thanks for a chance to win your fun giveaway! The fabrics look like a lot of fun!
Julie
Eggs are super fast and everyone here (besides me, bad childhood memories I blame) likes them. I also make a hot dish with noodles, speghetti sauce, pepperoni, and mozzerella cheese , put it in the oven 350 until cheese is melted (about 20 min)
jrae_228 at yahoo dot com
Also a new follower of yours on facebook….thanks again for a chance to win!

Great text fabrics, hoping they come to my house. I highly recommend the Spatchcocked Chicken with chick peas from Everyday Foods. Check out how easy this is on Youtube. Love this recipe.
Creamy Tomatoe Basil Tortellini soup – SO good and really quite easy. Fam loves when it’s this for supper 🙂
http://www.food.com/recipe/creamy-tomato-basil-tortellini-soup-331489
good day!!! and great fabrics!!! i just moved from the left coast with my husband , to the right coast!! we lived in Atwater and do miss the weather, but family comes first…have you discovered the crockpot yet? it saved e more than once when my children were small/teenagers and that with a bread making machine were my best friends. more often than not i would work until 6-7pm and would be waaay tired. it was nice coming home to a nice meal. all i asked of the children was to fix a tossed salad and set the table for dinner…made for a much happier mommy and daddy!!
my best wishes to you and yours…
Love the prints!
Go to supper… I love making a big pot of soup and cornbread. I just throw the soup ingredients together in the morning and I let it cook all day in the slow cooker.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I totally have caught the text fabric bug but unfortunately haven’t managed to obtain any yet, only if I order them overseas 🙁
what a great giveaway.
🙂
my go-to dinner is pasta. the kids love it, fast and good.
I have been wanting to try out text fabrics! My favorite go to weeknight meals: stir fry with rice, cottage pie, and breakfast for dinner.
My favourite fast and easy dinner is to dice up a tonne of mushrooms and cook them off, add a big dollop of cream cheese,bit of lemon juice and pepper and use that as a pasta sauce 🙂
I make a vegetarian chili, that’s really great. http://prytzrecipes.blogspot.com/2008/01/tummy-warming-chili.html
Chicken a la king is pretty easy if you have chicken leftovers.
I’m a terrible cook. My quick and easy is spaghetti. I just pinned this speghetti bake and a friend of mine made it and said it was good. http://www.plainchicken.com/2012/02/baked-spasanga.html#more
I love to just brown some ground beef with some spices and vegetables, heat some premade tortillas and beans, and put out some toppings to let everyone make the burrito of her choice.
i make a lovely chicken soup from yesterdays left over of boiled chicken …just cut up the chicken meat (boneless) , add some broccoli pieces, carrots and herbs like sage and add water….add angel hair or some rice and you have a lovely, healthy, quick warm soup.
I am so excited for your giveaway!! I LOVE text prints and all those are so gorgeous and would make the ideal addition to my stash so I can use it to make an Amy Butler weekender bag.
Also weeknight meal go-to is breakfast for dinner. Pancakes, Waffles, Breakfast Burritos, you name it. =)
This is the best text bundle ever! Seriously. My go to quick weeknight meal is fried egg and cheese sandwich on toast with some fresh fruit. Easy and tasty.
tonight we’re having tuna melts 🙂
jenna
callherhappy.com
We make bean, cheese & veggie quesadillas. Quick and easy and my 2 toddlers love to dip the “triangles” in mild salsa and sour cream.
Yes, have been bitten by the text bug and our favorite go-to meal is omelets and a salad. Can usually make a decent omelet out of things already in the ‘fridge.
I can get my kids to eat spinach! I make chicken alfredo florentine. pureed spinach, sauteed chicken, alfredo sauce (light even), and fettuccine noodles. Yum.
We usually have taco night once a week 🙂 Cook up some peppers, rice and some beans, add toppings and you’re good to go!
Oh, what lovely fabrics!!
My go-to is pizza casserole. Pound of ground turkey (or beef), box of cooked noodles (I prefer rotini), jar of spaghetti sauce, jar of pizza sauce, lots of cut up pepperoni. Mix all together, layer with mozzerella cheese, bake 25 minutes or so. Yum! In fact, I think I’ll make that tonight. 🙂
Great giveaway. My go to recipe, is anything frozen from Trader Joes!!! Lol.
A stir fry is something we love on work nights! Gorgeous fabrics they would be very useful!
I love homemade Pizza ! Frozen and easy to warm up
Have a nice christmas time…
I made a really yummy white chicken lasagna. I highly recommend it. I did replace the basil and oregano with nutmeg.

Old standby…Spaghetti and meatballs.
We love this easy recipe: http://www.wittyinthecity.com/2011/08/man-pleasing-chicken/#
Great give away! Love the text fabric – think it would make a great bag or reader wrap! My Standby Dinner is homemade Pizza! or if it’s just me … BP&J!! That sandwich just never gets old! Thank you for the offer to win fabulous fabric!
Tacos, tacos, tacos! Easy to make, everyone likes them, and there are always opportunities to sneak more veggies in! Breakfast for dinner is another fun one!
quick dinner – roast a tray of veggies (broccoli, carrots, squash, whatever!) w/ olive oil, salt, pepper and whatever seasonings I feel like and while that’s going, throw some chicken breasts in a skillet – everything is done in about 20-25 minutes and is healthy and tasty 🙂
I like to make a Massamam Prawn curry. This is very quick and easy, prepared in less than half an hour, so perfect for when I get home from work. Love the gorgeous texty fabrics!
quick dinner – chicken breasts baked with canned tomatos, stove top stuffing & cheese – yummy!
On busy days we have homemade breakfast burritos for dinner,
I don’t cook at all, but your IG name is actually betteroffthread 🙂
My favorite dinner though is carrots. 😛
I have a deep fryer – probably either the best or worst investment I ever made. We would have scones (I buy frozen rolls) and chilli every other day if it were good for us. 🙂
Oh lovely fabric. Burritos…so quick and easy. Love them
I’ve just taken part in the Addicted to Text charm swap on flickr so have a lovely selection but would love some bigger pieces. A favourite dinner here is hidden veg and pasta, leeks, mushrooms, carrots, courgette, pepper, tomato cooked and whizzed up and then a dollop of mascapone cheese – delicious for 2 girls (the boy is not so keen!) thanks for the giveaway
Some salad and a french omelette. Terrific giveaway, thanks for the chance to win!
I haven’t used any text fabrics yet, but I’d love to try! My go-to weeknight meal is tacos. Everyone eats them & they’re easy to make. Thanks for the chance to win!
Love the text prints! One of my favorite go-to dinners is simple taco salad, the way my mom and grandma make it: http://www.cloverandviolet.com/2009/08/so-good-nanas-taco-salad.htm
Thanks for the giveaway!
We use the crockpot too for busy nights. Usually some kind of soup.
Thanks for the giveaway try! I really enjoy following your blog. My go to dinner: pulled pork sandwiches cooked in the crock pot.
When my kids were toddlers, it was “snacky” dinners on busy nights. They liked having lots of different bits, nothing fancy, just pasta and bits of cheese and meat, some fruit and veggies, things like that. Now our go to is probably ramen with stir-fried vegetables, and we like to use the crockpot too but that usually means I have to be on the ball earlier in the day! 🙂
Oh, good question. I think I will have to look over some of these comments for ideas. Our go-to dinner is rice & beans with whatever toppings we have on hand.
My really easy dinner is carbonara. While the pasta’s cooking, either cook then chop some bacon or just chop some ham (depending on what you’ve got/how much time you have), then beat one egg yolk per person, plus an extra, or one whole egg per person with grated cheese and black pepper. Drain the pasta, return to the pan, stir in the bacon and eggy mixture, and stir continuously over a low heat for just long enough for the egg not to be raw. Not especially healthy, but the entire thing takes 15 minues to do, even with cooking bacon for it. Alternatively, more of a British thing, so you may not have come across it, but baked beans and grated cheese on toast is so fast and simple. I always think I should do that more often. Thanks for a lovely giveaway – I love those prints.
I love to make this dish http://warfieldfamily.com/2012/09/rice-a-roni-dinner/
Crockpot soup!
Oh my goodness, I am coming back to read all these great ideas and recipes!! I’m at a place where we are soo bored of what we eat! LOL!
For little kids… more for lunches, what about cottage cheese and tomatoes, and grill cheese sandwhiches. Sorry no good thoughts for dinners! Happy to have found your blog! 🙂
I would love to win! Thank you!
I’m not a mom but a good old grilled cheese and chicken noodle soup will always do it for me on a quick fix night. Thanks!!
I love my crock pot! Throw in a roast and some veggies and you’ve got dinner.
We love Black Bean tacos at our house, filled with avocado, sour cream, cheese and tomatoes they are a hit with the kids and fairly healthy as well!
hamburgers
Ooo I love texty prints!
My quick fix dinner is pasta and pesto – so quick and easy and both things you can store in the cupboard (no need to to buy fresh supplies). Yep I am that lazy!
Best go-to dinner is quesodillas! so lame but the hubby loves them!
Thanks for the giveaway!!
Quick pasta dishes- saute a bit of garlic with zuccini or squash and some onions, toss in a can of fire roasted tomatoes and then toss with pasta. Takes all of 10 minutes!
One of the quick go to dishes I use to make a lot is stir fried chicken with mushrooms,onions and cabbage with top ramen noodles & seasoning stirred in. The nice thing is, you can add any leftover veggies that you want to chance it up.
Tacos are a big favorite around here.
I just made one of mine this evening, basically taco meat mixture, some corn and diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce, put in the bottom of a casserole dish, top with homemade mashed potatoes any way you like to fix them, top with cheese if you like; then bake at $50 for about 20 minutes or until the cheese and potatoes get all golden and crispy on the top! So super simple! 🙂
Beautiful fabric, thank you!
Our favorite is greek chicken over rice with chopped veggies and cucumber sauce. You can make the chicken in a wok, and it’s super easy.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I suppose I have to say the one from last night, the fist we were meant to be having was off so had to throw something together quick! Ham, egg and chips worked really well!
Love the fabric. Off to explore your blog!
I love Cranberry Chicken in the crock pot. Put boneless chicken, 1 cup barbecue sauce,
oops, operator error. Anyway,,,
Chicken, BBQ sauce, 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce, diced onions and peppers, baby carrots in crock pot. Cook all day on low. Serve with rice. Easy and delicious.
What great fabrics!
I love to bake salmon. Put in a pan (either steaks or fillets), shake a little tarragon on top, cover, bake 20-30 minutes depending on thickness of fish. Meanwhile, you can steam veggies, bake a potato, make a salad etc. When my kids were little I used to make tuna casserole for them and salmon for myself until they started eating more of my salmon than their casserole, so out went the tuna casserole, I can’t stand it bu they used to love it.
I forgot to say that I cover the pan with foil. Don’t leave it uncovered or it will dry out.
PS Thanks for the giveaway!
Hamburger casserole:
brown 1 lb ground beef, add 1 can tomato soup. While this is simmering, boil small box of macaroni noodles, and mix together 1 brick cream cheese (we like the large brick) and 1 small container of sour cream. Layer in a casserole dish starting with noodles on bottom, then hamburger mixture, then sour cream/cream cheese mixture, top with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 till bubbly!
Go to dinner?? Pancakes! My kids love breakfast for dinner-and it’s easy and fast for me too. I put all kids of puréed vegetables, fruits, flax seed, oatmeal, Greek yogurt, etc so they are full of protein and nutrients. The kids don’t know they are healthy!
Great giveaway! I’ll email you some recipe links!
My go to dinner would have to be spaghetti. Thanks for the chance.
a go to dinner? Fresh tomatoes, parsley, basil, parmesan, olive oil tossed with pasta. Yum. so easy.
my go to dinner on a winter’s evening has to be shepherd’s pie!
I like making Spaghetti with Lemon and Olive Oil fairly frequently. It tastes really light and fresh. I use whole wheat pasta and it makes me feel a little less guilty about eating pasta. http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2011/02/spaghetti-with-lemon-and-olive-oil-al-limone/ Thanks for the chance to win!
Thank you for a wonderful giveaway! My go-to-dinner is picking up sushi at the grocery store on the way home! Sad, but true.
Anyone who has a Save Ferris pillow is cool with me. 🙂
It’s the season for the slow cooker…pork shoulder with green chiles and salsa verde. Serve with corn tortillas. Yum!

I love those fabrics! We eat a lot of tacos in this house. In the winter, I love how a nice fresh cabbage slaw with meat or beans and sauteed vegetables all can be wrapped in a corn tortilla for something fresh and yummy! And soup of all types!
I am so excited to get my hands on some Architextures too! And my favorite go-to dinner is probably baked ziti…easy and comforting!

Chicken and yellow rice with peas. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare. Brown cut-up chicken pieces in olive oil in deep pot. Once the chicken in browned use Vigo yellow rice mix, follow directions on package. I add it all directly to the chicen in the deep pot so it’s a one pot meal. After the rice has cooked about 2o minutes add peas or serve on the side. My family loves it!
Go to meal is spaghetti from a jar with pre-browned hamburger from the freezer. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.

If you have an IKEA near you. They have the best meatball dinner, eat it in the restaurant or take it home from the food shop!!! Thanks for the giveaway
Well, this is not exactly a go-to dinner but has similar result…
From time to time, I spend one afternoon cooking a huge pot of natural tomato sauce with all the vegetables I can add; carrot, leeks, zucchini, squash, beans…Then I blend it and freeze on individual portions and so I´ll have vegetable sauce full of vitamins and fiber to add to a quick pasta or rice dish!
Love this fabric, thank you!
My kids will eat just about anything, so quite often I can just stick some Salmon in the oven, cook some rice and make a salad. We also eat enchiladas because I can make the up pretty quick.
Eee I do love me some text prints!
Hmm a go-to dinner. I totally cheat and pick up a roast chicken from the shop, and serve it with some pasta and vegies. Tada! Done! hehehe!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I haven’t tried texty prints yet, but these look fabulous! 🙂

OOh nice texty prints. I keep bags of pasta sauce – vegie or bolognaise (with vegies) – in the freezer. Defrost, cook pasta, presto!

Great fabrics! Our go to dinner in Spaghetti. We can tomato sauce in the summer so it’s really easy and one of the only dinners the entire family will eat.
I need to build up my texts! I make some easy tomato soup. Heat up a can of stewed tomatoes on the stove and then blend with a stick blender or food processor. Add a splash of cream and serve. You will never have to purchase tomato soup again. So good with grilled cheese of course.
It’s not very original, but I live for tacos on busy nights. Ground turkey, browned in about 10 minutes, then some seasonings and toppings!
Tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwich, chicken and mac and cheese, Scrambled eggs and bacon.
Thanks for chance to win. Nancy James
My fav quick fix dinner is pesto & pasta…. I even make it spinach pesto to get some green vegies in to the kid!
Very beautiful fabrics 😀
Thanks for the chance to win 😀
We have an Asian fried rice tonight 😀
Tomato and cheese quesadillas (and if I have leftover chicken or green pepper or onion I’ll throw that in too.) Put it on half a tortilla, fold over the other half, and then cook in a frying pan with a tiny bit of oil – flip – done! Serve with salsa, quacamole, plain yogurt, whatever you like!
Here’s my chicken and chickpea casserole…
http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/baked-chicken-peppers-chickpeas-and-rice
Love the fabrics.
Sweet and sour meatballs and rice is a fave of mine. I love text fabrics!
annesimonot@sasktel.net
I love pasta on busy nights with lots of veggies mixed in!
Gorgeous fabrics. My kiddos love homemade rice-a-roni with lots of chicken and veggies included.
I looove texty prints ! A quick and healthy dinner for us is, ” sausage, greens, ‘n beans ” !
Great fabrics! Crockpot pulled pork–right off of the McCormick pkg. 🙂
Good ol’ spaghetti 🙂
stir fry is always great – frozen veggies with shrimp or chicken and rice. easy peasy. 🙂
I love to make Bacon and Chaddar Quiche for supper – mmmm…. I could go for that right now. I love the fabrics you chose to giveaway and your SAVE FERRIS pillow is perfection!
I love the word fabrics and the black and white is fabulous.
Fried rice is my go to! Easy and quick!
I make soup a lot, chicken, rice, carrots, celery, a couple cans of swanson chicken stock and spices. Easy peasy and everyone likes it.
We have a pizza oven so can whip up our own home made pizzas in a few minutes with our choice of toppings. Thanks for the chance to win!
A STRANGE (but easy and tasty) dinner my hubs recently requested was black beans over rice, topped with salsa and a bit of cheddar cheese. I thought he was nuts, but it was fast, and actually very good!
Lauren, hope I’m not screwing up the draw by replying to you, but we’ve been having this for years and years. We don’t eat rice anymore, but it used to be a weekly dinner. Have him try black beans, brown rice, a little shredded cheese, sour cream, and mushrooms cooked in some Worcestershire, with some black pepper. When you’re used to that, add some Srirachi (just a tiny bit!).
I like Hamburger Corn Pie – ground beef, beans, corn, and tomato sauce on the bottom, corn bread on the top.
Our got to “Taco Volcanoes”, which is basically taco ingredients on a mountain of rice!
Breakfast for dinner! On basketball nights we have bacon, eggs, and biscuits. It is fast and filling.
Wow! gorgeous fabrics! Your blog is lovely! Thanks for the giveaway!
My go to meal is a stir fry with peanut sauce- LOTS of peanut sauce! Also I do a lot of cooking while crafting on Sundays- so there is always homemade soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for a couple of days afterwards!
We just had tacos, very easy to make. Also love a roast in the crockpot night.
I am already a follower of your blog, and I love your spirit and your work! I’d love to add the text prints to my collection! Definitely treat yourself to dinner out this week!
LOVE< LOVE< your texty fabrics and in black, white and grey!
Would love to win, thanks for the chance.
Go to dinner is taco salad with black beans and tortilla chips. I love text fabrics – they make me smile.
THAT is an awesome bundle. Thanks!! My go-to weeknight dinner is chili, because it takes me 15 minutes and is yummy, filling, and generally healthy.
Pork in the crock pot always goes over well at my house! I put about 1/2 cup (or less) of apple juice in the crock pot with a boneless pork loin roast and sprinkle garlic, black pepper, oregano, and chili powder on top, plus a squirt or two of honey just for fun. Then I add carrots and potatoes about 2-3 hours before the pork is done so they get cooked but not mushy. So yummy!
It is always a treat to see that little quilt you made me, it is on the wall next to my sewing machine. I am not the cook in my house so I would say when you need to order pizza.
Love the text fabrics, thanks for the chance to enter! I like to make a quick pasta dish with roasted sweet potatoes, leeks, toasted walnuts and goat cheese… doesn’t sound fast but it really is. There’s a recipe on my blog if you’re interested 🙂
The quickest thing for me to make is spaghetti. My family loves it.
I love to make an easy tortellini soup! Cheese tortellini from the cold section, chicken broth, canned stewed tomatoes, and a bit of cream- simmer for a bit to meld the flavors and top with parm. Warm, easy, filling!
oh these would be great adds to my stash! A go-to dinner at our house is fresh pasta (cooks quick!) with browned butter & sage…
Sauté thinly sliced zucchini with olive oil, salt and pepper. When the zucchini is almost done (tender) throw in some fresh minced garlic. Cook a few more minutes then serve mixed in with boiled cheese ravioli (the cheap frozen kind). Serve with Parmesan cheese! (And some fresh bread to dip in the yummy oil left in your bowl!
Now I’m hungry…
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Love your blog – thanks! Our fall-back dinner is spaghetti bolognase – always a winner with the kids!
Boneless skinless chicken breasts, dash of olive oil, salt, pepper & seasoning in the oven (no cover), another pan with mini potatoes with same seasonings in the oven at 400F for 40 minutes. When your time’s almost up, throw on a pot of frozen vegs, poof, instant dinner! Thanks for the chance to win.
yes, I’ve definitely caught the text bug and I’m wanting to collect them to do a butterfly mini quilt 🙂 my go-to for dinner is chicken nachos – quick, easy, and very yummy 🙂
Best. Fabric. Ever! It’s no ecret that I am a text geek and these are amazing 🙂
My go to is ‘shove it in the oven’. No stirring, monitoring etc. Just the oven doing it’s thing. Try this one – http://ideasmag.co.za/food-entertaining/brown-bag-chicken/
Love love love text fabrics!
Not very original here, but pizza appears often for dinner at my home.
well, to be totally honest – fish finger sandwiches are out back stop!
Sloppy Joes are always well received by my picky eaters. Thanks for the giveaway; I love texty fabrics!
ap_lemos at yahoo dot com
oooh…I’ll have to check the rest of the answers out too! I hate figuring out dinners! I would say a go to dinner would be 1. Chili and if I want my kids to eat it a chicken and rice casserole. Let me know if you want the directions for that – easy peasy! and YES I have the text bug!
Mac & cheese is my go to in a crunch. Love the fabric choice!
On busy nights, we end up having breakfast for dinner – – french toast & eggs.
Sausages with mash and onion gravy!
Thanks for a great giveaway!
Breakfast for dinner–poached eggs and baked beans with a side of toast 😉
Because I live in the great white north where it’s cold and snowy, my favourite winter meal is deer stew made in a Dutch oven over many hours of slow cooking. So delicious and warming.
I’ve never worked with text fabrics before. Fun! I like crock pot meals, especially carnitas using a boston butt. Top off with salsa, sc, avocado, cheese on warm tortillas. yum!
Anything in the crockpot. My fav is chicken tortilla soup. Set it up first thing in the morning and voila, dinner is ready.
Love the texty fabric!
I became a new follower! I love your dolls, dresses and many other creations!!! Last night we had a go to dinner because I was busy entering giveaways and responding to my giveaway comments. We had spaghetti made with turkey sausage, canned sauce, and mystery shaped pasta from the cabinet. LOL I would love for you to check out my blog at http://breannasknitbits.blogspot.com
Spaghetti with meatballs is one of our favorites!
I absolutely LOVE text fabrics, but perhaps being a graphic designer influences that. We like to make pesto pasta – it’s super easy when I have batches of homemade pesto waiting in the freezer!
Chicken caesar salad. I tear apart a rotisserie chicken and throw it on top of greens and I have an easy yummy salad! I love this fabric! Thanks for the giveaway!!
Love the texty fabrics! I’ve never used any before, but I want to try now!
Our go to meal is spaghetti. You can even make a homemade “sauce” with ground beef and diced tomatoes. Add tomato sauce if you want it to be more of an actual sauce (which mine is definitely not!). Toss in a couple of spices that smell good and some veggies if you want them and you’re done.
Fabulous giveaway! Yes, I have been bitten by the texty bug and thank you for the chance to win. Chinese noodle stir fries are always a hit in this house. Quick, easy, use whatever veg and meat you have spare and only one pan to clean after – bonus!
I love soup. And I also love to innovate. So I make pretty original and tasty soups.
ohh- love the fabrics.
Go-to meal:
cut 3 chicken breasts into 1/3’s and put in bottom of crock pot.
Mix 8 oz cream cheese, 1 can cream of chicken, and a packet of zesty italian salad dressing mix together and spoon over chicken.
Cook on high 5-6 hours.
Serve over rice.
Oh– and I ALWAYS use a crock pot bag for easy clean-up.

Lentil loaf, made like a meatloaf with a can of lentils. Toss on some veggies and a starch if desired and voila! Thanks for the give away.
I always have homemade spaghetti sauce in the freezer. Easy peasy dinner.
Our easy peasy diner is chillied chicken and bean cassserole
I love my crockpot and my family loves Taco Chicken – place boneless chicken (can be frozen or thawed) in crockpot, add a pkg. of taco seasoning, pour a can of Rotel tomatoes on top and cook all day. Shred before serving. Good in taco shells, tortillas, on baked potatoes, in a sandwich. Thanks for the great giveaway!
In the winter, you can make soup…put it in the crock pot…fresh veggies, chicken broth, cooked chicken breast…and an onion…let it cook for hours…come home to a nice hot dinner. Pick up a loaf of bread too. =)
Thanks for a chance to win.
I make chili a lot because you can hide a lot veggies in it, and also freeze half of it for later! Thanks so much for participating in Giveaway Day!
We love anything in the slow cooker these days. We make this turkey chili a lot because it’s cheap, easy and satisfying: http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Laura_s-Quick-Slow-Cooker-Turkey-Chili-Allrecipes 🙂
We make dumplings with mashed potatoes inside… Yummy!
I am not sure if my comment will appear as I don’t see it but I would say that we usually make tasty Russian Dumplings with mashed potatoes inside (vareniki). Yummy!
My go to dinner is Scallopini Pork Chops dredged in italian bread crumbs. Fry 3 min per side in EVOO. Served with baked broccoli (Barefoot Contessa). The kids go crazy for it and it doesn’t take long to make!
Mine is tray baked sausages potatoes and veg – easy and yummy
LOve texty fabrics! My go to dinner is Chicken fajitas wityh refried beans! Super quick to make and everyone loves them 🙂
I love the look of texty fabrrics. I just haven’t had a chance to play with any yet.
One of my favorite go to meals on a busy night is stir fry. It’s fun to whing things together and be creative with what is on hand. 🙂
mmm text fabric!!
My go to is usually pasta with a heap of vegetables chucked in and pesto sauce. I also like things you can stick in the oven (then go blog read), like right now I’m baking some potatoes then I can just do some quick steak and veggies to go with it.
grilled cheese and tomato soup – everybody loves it!
I have never had any text fabric – looks lovely!
We love Farmer’s Breakfast for Dinner…..quick and easy.
Eggs, toast or pancakes, grits, bacon, milk and juice……yummy
planning ahead for a busy day I like potato soup. If it is a AHHH it is dinner time and I don’t know what to make. I do simple tacos or spaghetti….
Sorry, not a cook! Being the only one here I just eat what ever is handy!
hulseybg at gmail dot com
How about some creamy and cheesy omelette?:D heheh or fried rice with crispy bacon n juicy shrimp:D together they would make a perfect dinner!
Tacos. I can make the meat at any point during the day, then throw it on the table super fast. Leftovers are great as a salad or quesidillas.
Stir fry!
Love this fabric! I definitely need more dinner ideas too. We’re big quesadilla people.
My go to recipe is tuna casserole. Easy and only one pot to clean.
Ok so if shrimp is on sale get them to steam it right there at the meat counter with some old bay(our will do it for free) at the grocery store(takes @ 5 minutes, grab a bag of salad and some mac and cheese from the deli. Yummy quick good meal!
I like quiche, and my toddlers love it.
Those text fabrics are amazing.
I mostly cook huge batches of food on the weekends and then eat leftovers all week.
Easy Peasy Baked Ziti: Cook 1 pound of ziti (you can also use Penne) brown 1/2 pound Italian sausage and 1/2 lb ground round together. Drain and place in a large bowl. Add 1 small jar of Alfredo sauce and 1 small jar of marinara sauce. Add cooked Ziti and mix. Pour everything into a 13 x 9 and cover with mozzarella. Bake for 15 mins or until cheese is melted. It is so yummy and EASY!!!!!
Baked Chicken: Turn oven to 425 degrees. Melt 1/4 cup butter/veggie oil in the oven in a baking pan. Dip the chicken pieces into seasoned flour, and put skin-side down in the oven pan. Wash baking potatoes, and poke here and there; put them in oven. Set oven for 1/2 hour. Turn chicken pieces over and bake for another half hour. The fun aspect to this meal is that it cooks while you are doing something else! We sometimes serve chilled cranberry sauce instead of a veggie, or a quick salad.
I like to BBQ and roast veggies on the grill. So so simple.
Greetings from the north!!!
I didn’t even know text fabric existed until recently and one of my quilting bee participants sent some for her block. Wow!!!
Ok, my go to recipe to keep the kids happy and fed…I put premade meatballs in a slow cooker with a mixture of chili sauce and cranberry sauce on top. By the time we get home from work/school/the curling rink, I just make a pot of rice and voila! Happy kids and happy hubby. Thanks for the chance!
We tend to have french toast for dinner a few times a month. Great fabric choices for your prize thanks for the chance
I realy love to make tomato soup :))
My easy go to dinner is breakfast for dinner – eggs, candian bacon and english muffins.
Carrot and corriander soup is always a favourite and so easy to make.
Love these fabrics, thanks for the giveaway!
My kids love mini muffin tin pizzas. I found it on Pinterest and it is delicious.
Pizza from home made or store bought dough ever friday
This one, it’s delicious. http://www.smith-twins.com/2009/09/great-recipe-september-10-2009.html
Although I use 3/4 cup water and 3/4 cup wine now (just easier to remember).
World Harbors Jamaican Shepard’s Pie, yummm. Many thanks
Pizza bagels!
Quesadillas or burritos. My kids could totally live on them
I love crock pot bbq. Just put a pork roast in the crock pot with 1/2 bottle of bbq sauce and some water. Let it cook all day and it will shred up and be perfect on buns.
I like to make macaroni, I’ve made it so often that I’m a pro at it! Takes me a maximum of 20 minutes to get it in the oven and it tastes so good!
Pancake is the quick food i make :d
I roast a chicken weekly. Seriously. It’s my super simple, comfort dinner that i know the kids and hubs will always eat.

Thank you for your generosity and kindness (even if I don’t win)!
Total text print addict here! Thanks for the chance.
wow, such cool fabrics, thanks for the chance!
I like to make a couple of big pots of spaghetti sauce in the summer from garden tomatoes and other goodies. Can it and/or freeze it in family sized portions. Use with various types of noodles and meats (hamburger, sausage(s), pepperoni) and/or cheeses for a great variety of fun, quick meals. That’s what I did when the kids were little, we were poor and my husband and I were working different shifts and attending school.
I like to make crock pot meals in advance, freeze them, and then just pop them in the slow cooker in the morning. Nice to have dinner made when I get home!
That is a yummy and gorgeous bundle!!! We do Taco Tuesdays and Friday night pasta nights at our house every week! I’ll switch up the pastas and Mexican dishes every week to keep variety (i.e. Fajhita’s, lasagna, Nacho’s, burritos, etc.)! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Tonight we made penne pasta with speghetti sauce and ground beef. tasty, makes a lot of food and pretty quick too.
I recommend Mel’s kitchen cafe for easy recipes – so yummy!
Such a pretty bundle! I’m one of those freaks who loves to cook and drags it out so I’m no help. I guess the only thing I can suggest is if you’re making soup make a double batch. That way you’ll have soup in the freezer for easy meals.
Well, I’m afraid it would be pasta with pesto and tomatoes.
My husband does all the cooking…all the more time for me to sew!
A favourite quick meal of ours is chicken Caesar salad — hubby bbq’s up a few chicken breasts and we add them to a big bowl of Caesar salad. I serve it with Mexican rice (which I make in big batches, then freeze). The kids take leftovers for their work lunches the next day, tucked into tortillas – it’s one of the meals that nobody complains about, lol.
Wonderful giveaway! I love fabric with words! My go-to meal is oven baked chicken, baked sweet potatoes, a huge salad and fresh baked French bread from the grocery. Thanks for participating! Merry Christmas!
Easy meals are tacos, sloppy joes, hamburgers and of course we all love spaghetti. Love the prints with words! Thanks for the chance.
When my kids were little (and picky), I could always get them excited about a can of stew mixed with a can of corn over rice or noodles. Sounds awful now, but they loved it! 🙂
LOVE that fabric! I make lots of big pots of soup in the winter. Thanks!
Those are some wonderful fabrics — you have great taste! I love making Mexican Mountains – a pot of rice, some taco meat, beans and everyone adds favorite toppings.
Eggs over easy, sausage, and avocado. Great meal any time of the day.
I always keep on hand frozen tamales from Trader Joe’s. Add a green salad and voila … diner is served!
I love text prints, and my go to dinner is normally pizza 🙂
Pasta…boil it and top it with a jar of sauce…done.

I love crockpot itallian chicken for an easy dinner – just throw chicken breasts, a package of cream cheese, and a packet of itallian dressing seasoning in for 6 hours!
starsandsunshineblog at gmail dot com
These text prints are so fun! An easy meal: with a large family, I often make up large batches of spaghetti sauce to use throughout a week. That way I have a quick meal for a couple of times during the week.
i just discovered text fabric there are some wonderful ones out there
My go- to dinner would be pancakes and sausage, I love breakfast for dinner!
Lovely text fabrics. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Go-to dinner? Bacon and egg sandwiches! Easy peasy.
I like breakfast for dinner, and those are always quick meals! One favourite is to cook up some potatoes (sliced fairly thin, then fried in a little oil until they start to brown, then pour a bit of chicken broth over them – maybe a quarter cup per 4 oz potato, cover and cook until the broth cooks away and the potatoes are tender – it doesn’t take long) and some scrambled eggs and some minute steak or sliced up stirfry beef (something thing that cooks quickly) with a bit of salt and pepper. I usually eat mine with the steak atop the eggs and a big spoonful of salsa on top of that. Yum.
I love these fabrics! I like to make a veggie heavy lentil soup. I end up making it towards the end of the week when we are running out of groceries.
Our go to dinner is always tacos. Quick, easy and everybody will eat it 🙂 Thanks for the great giveaway of some great fabric!
We’re so bad – we don’t have kids and we keep a big bag of chicken nuggets around – we make them into caesar wraps!
I LOVE Fabric with TEXT. It’s fantastic.
I like to make stir fry — if I have a really busy week I buy pre-chopped veggies (or just chop them all on Sunday myself!) and then it’s super easy to throw them into a pan with a bit of oil, garlic, ginger and soy sauce! Thanks for the chance these fabrics are great!
My husband is the one with the skills in the kitchen, when its my turn (i.e. he is at work and I have to cook something up for me and the kiddos) I almost always make morning star “chicken” nuggets, edemame, and macaroni. 🙂 seriously. they haven’t gotten sick of it yet.
Bean and Rice Burritos – even my husband can make it!
Lol, as a college student, I’ve eater tortilla chips for dinner. I’m not a good source of advice for this.
My go to weeknight meal is a veggie omelet
The text prints are great
Quickest short notice dinner here is fried rice. Add some corn, peas, ham and egg and it is ready in 5 minutes (as long as you have left over cooked rice ready to go)
Go to dinner….tomato soup! Simple but delicious.
Love this slow cooker chicken recipe for week night tacos (and, best of all, so do my kids): http://allrecipes.com/recipe/slow-cooker-cilantro-lime-chicken/detail.aspx?lnkid=ARPinIt
During the colder part of the year one of my go to meals is Grilled Cheese and soup! Since the kids are grown and gone it is grown-up grilled cheese. Which is just basically adding caramelized onions,mushrooms and tomato jam to your grilled cheese!
Breakdast for dinner is the easiest one we have at out house. I’ve gotten tons of ideas from other comments on here.
mmmmm goat cheese pasta. saute veggies (whatever you’ve got) and boil pasta. add herbs (parsley, basil, oregano, whatever), pasta, goat cheese and some hot pasta water to nicely carmelized veggies and voila! seriously delicious.
My go to dinner is definitely spaghetti, i’m new at the whole cooking thing but i make a huge batch and freeze it in mason jars and haul one out every monday morning! Love how easy it is and my family things it’s tasty! Love the fabrics by the way!
Love the texty fabric!! My head is a swirl of possibilities!
Goto dinner – Grilled naan with pesto and lunchmeat, onions, cheese, etc. plus a can of soup. Tasty.
I love to have breakfast for dinner (or brinner as my friend calls it). It’s quick and easy, and everyone loves it!
I’d love to make a quilt with those fabrics. Thanks for such a generous giveaway!
Our go to 20 minutes dinner is Chicken breasts with lemon juice, zest and dill baked with wedges of feta. afetr 10 minutes flip breasts and add chopped broccoli or asparagus on top. 10 more minutes and you are done. Under 30 minutes and plenty of time during the 20 minutes to help with homework, organize permission slips, get soccer gear on, get piano books ready…
Chili and tortillas is always good!
I work nights, so my go to meal is leftovers. Not sure that helps, lol. I do most of my cooking on Sundays so I have meals to take with me to work.
Can’t beat spaghetti bolognaise – cook the pasta, and while waiting, cook mince, garlic, onion, tinned tomatoes and some Italian spices. Serve with cheese. Yum!
My go-to throw together dinner is ground beef, rice, cream of mushroom, and some sort of canned vegetable (corn or green bean) all thrown together 😛
Thanks for the chance!
mjp0419 at gmail dot com
Something quick I make is a quesadilla with tomatoes and then dip it in garlic yogurt. Quick and simple and good. Thanks for the chance to win!
I like to make anything in the crockpot. My favorite is root beer pot roast with root veggies. It takes about 15 minutes of prep and then cooks all day long and is just amazing. I use the “Dr. Pepper Pot Roast recipe” and substitute root beer b,c I like it better 🙂
Ones we commonly go to are spag bol, nachos, and we eat a ton of stir fries.
Cincinnati Chili!
One of our easiest dinners is noodles with butter and tomatoes.
I like making quesedillas or one pan/pot pineapple chicken and rice for quick easy dinners. Thank you!
Breakfast is my go to dinner. It actually feels like a luxury to eat pancakes or scrambled eggs and bacon at night.
I like to make tacos – I make up a big batch of the meat and then freeze it for a really quick meal on other nights.
We love chili at our house, either from the crock pot or simmered on the stove! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love to make noodles with Pesto. It’s easy and fast and tasty. ^^
Lovely giveaway!! I love text fabrics!
My hubby likes chicken piccata and aglio e olio. Basically dredge the chicken in a beaten egg, then flour (I put a little oregano, salt and pepper in the flour), then pan fry. Add a bit of lemon juice and capers at the end. At the same time boil some spaghetti noodles. Heat some olive oil in a pan with some garlic and red pepper flakes. Toss the noodles with the oil mixture. Done! Lots of recipes online for these if you want specifics!
Soup and a nice chunk of bread these days. Love this fabric!
I love to make Noodles with Pesto. It’s easy, fast und tasty. ^^
The fabrics are absolutely lovely!
I have to go-tos. Pork Chop Pacifica is so easy to make and the rice turns out so good. http://www.mahatmarice.com/en-us/recipes/359/porkchopspacifica.aspx . Tostadas are my go-to meal for when I am by myself. Tostada shells, mashed ranch style beans, lettuce, tomato, cheese, easy-peasy!.
Enchiladas are in heavy rotation at our house. And if we’re not feeling particularly piggy, lunch the next day is built right in!
Chicken and dumplings. Use the bisquick mix for the dumplings or prepared pie crust dough cut into strips. It is quick and delicious.
I’m totally into text – I’m a sometimes font designer! But most time illustrator and all around crafts-lover.
Thanks for the giveaway! adriprints(at)yahoo(dot)com
i love the text fabrics! thanks for the giveaway!
Black bean and egg burritos – scramble some eggs, heat a can of black beans on the stove (or in a bowl in the microwave if you’re really pressed for time) and eat on flour tortillas with shredded cheese and salsa. (if you have an extra 5 min – saute some onions in the pan before you add the black beans!
girl, i’m lucky if i can heat up fish sticks these days!!! but i do love to make crock pot BBQ pork. you put whatever cut of pork you like in a crock pot, cover it with root beer, then cook for several hours until the pork is really tender. drain off the root beer, add BBQ sauce, and shread it all up. i serve it with yummy cheese grits and maybe some corn muffins. 🙂 loved finally meeting you the other night!
Our quick go-to dinner is usually ravioli or a quick risotto 🙂
we keep a giant costco bag of tyson chicken tenders on hand, so whenever i’ve procrastinated and/or need someting brainless, we can always bake some up and the kids can have those and some other standard kid fare, and i can throw them on some lettuce with other salad fixin’s and we’re all good to go!
thanks for the giveaway chance. i would love these!!!
At weeknights I usually prepare some quick stirfry, with rice or ramen noodles, it’s fast and easy and everything that needs to be used gets out of the fridge.
Ramen noodles also make delicious soups with chicken broth and sliced veggies (peppers, cucumber, onion, peas) in them.
My kids prefer fish fingers, though. ^^ Still having to grow my gourmets. 🙂
Thanks for offering this lovely giveaway, the fabrics are so cute.
I’m a new follower of yours, email subscription
First time here 🙂
Looks like I will be busy for awhile looking around
I love to make tacos–easy if you remember to thaw the meat!
Tater tot Casserole with Green beans…just right for a one dish meal with all you need in it.
Great giveaway!! Love the fabric. Thanks for the chance.
I love the text. My stash really needs this 😉 Thanks for the chance to win.
Crepes are my go to dinner. So easy to make and ingredients are always in the house…. 1egg, 1/2 c flour, 1/2 c milk, cap full of vanilla. You can put anything in them… cheese, eggs, turkey, sugar, jelly, etc. Yum!
Pancakes. They’re SUPER easy.
spagehtti
For me, anything in the crockpot is fantastic.
I like to make an easy baked chicken parmesan, brush a little melted butter on chicken breasts, roll chicken in bread crumbs then bake . Cover with pasta sauce and parmesan and mozzarella cheese and bake a few more minutes until melty.
oooo…lovely. tacos or spaghetti are sure winners around this house. thanks!
i love making enchiladas
Love those fabrics! About the cooking- we are very “normal” (boring :))- omlet and salad are the most common dinners here 🙂
love the fabrics!!! And you make beautiful things! You have a new follower… My favourite dinner is tacos, ande a very easy to make chicken and olive dish!
Love those fabrics… the one that looks like a grade book makes me drool. We just made one of my favorites. It is a Rachel ray recipe for pork chedder apple meatballs served over egg noodles. It sounds a little strange but it is sooo good!
OK – it may not be your thing…but we love sour kraut (cooked with apples and onions and a little brown sugar) with a sausage and potato (boiled or mashed.) It takes no more than 30 minutes if you cut up the potatoes.
Broccoli and Penne Bianco. I think I found it on campbell’s website. It is super easy and yummy.
What a great giveaway!
My quick dinner when we’re running around with after school (and work!) clubs is a veggie pasta bake – I chop vegetables quite small in the food processor (one type at a time) and as they’re done cook them down in a little oil for about 5 minutes, then add tinned chopped tomatoes and cook for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile I cook pasta (usually penne) until just underdone, drain and mix the two together. Place in an oven proof dish and top with grated cheese (usually cheddar, sometimes add some parmesan too) and bake in a medium oven for about another 20 minutes. Alway use onions, carrots and bell peppers and then add other veg depending on how I feel. the great thing is I can do the first part and then put in the oven to bake later. I have found it is also ok if I make it the night before and then bake the following day. Has increased the range of vegetables my veggie hating son eats!
I make home made spaghetti and then freeze it and its a great goto meal.
My hubby and son are pasta lovers so we have spaghetti or penne pasta weekly. Thanks for a great giveaway~!
Make-ahead chicken casserole:
Layer in casserole dish – 2 cups uncooked spiral noodles, 2 cups chopped up cooked chicken (I throw chicken breasts frozen into the oven at 375 for 45 mins), half cup chopped celery, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Then make a mixture of one can cream of mushroom soup, refill empty can with milk, one can chicken broth (I use the powder with boiling water), some spices – I use a heaping Tbsp of Epicure`s three onion. Pour mixture on top of cheese and use a fork to make sure it gets distributed all the way to bottom and soaks all the noodles. You can then put this in the fridge until ready to cook, as far as the night before. Cook at 350 for one hour. This is my `go to` meal for new Moms – I make one for them and one for me at the same time.
ourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
Chili is one of our frequently made dinners.
Sweet and Sour Chicken.
Fantastic giveaway! One of my favorite quick dinners is black bean soup (served over rice), done in the electric pressure cooker. Just a bit of chop + saute, then an hour of the cooker doing most of the work for me! What could be better?
Janice, this gift package is fantastic!! An easy last minute dinner for me is macaroni & cheese casserole. Just mix up two packages of Kraft Mac & Cheese, then add some bread crumbs, sour cream, shredded cheese (I use jack or sharp cheddar), and your meat of choice (we usually go with chopped ham, chicken, or tuna). Top with more bread crumbs and shredded cheese and bake at 350 degrees until the top is melted and golden brown. Enjoy!
we have a italian cream cheese chicken and rice crockpot recipe that’s awesome and super easy. 🙂 LOVE the fabric – thanks for the chance to win!
Shepard’s pie. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love green pesto, pasta, corn and peas!
Ooooooooo, texty fabrics!!! I don’t have any yet! Our quick go-to meals are things like tacos, “Momburgers”, or pasta. My daughter is a very plain eater, so not many casseroles happen. Thanks for a fabulous giveaway – Hope I win!
Hmm, a go-to dinner….when I’m too tired to cook, it’s grits, bacon, and eggs. I’m a Southerner 😉
Homemade egg Mcmuffins. we buy the canadian bacon from Sam’s, pick up some English muffins and cheese, and then all we have to do is toast the bread and cook some eggs.
I love the texty fabrics, but haven’t been able to get my hands on any yet. And go-to dinners…well, I always like having a big bowl of salad in the fridge; you can just toss whatever you have on top of it and have that (ie. meats, beans/tortilla chips, nuts, things like that.
I also like making large batches of things and then freezing portions of them. Then, a little bit before dinner, you can heat them up, maybe add a side and you are good. Soups work well with this, meats, even enchiladas and pie dough.
Fajitas!
My go-to dinners usually involve the crock pot. It is a wonderful thing to toss something from the freezer in there (like chicken) and then come home from work and have dinner done! Either that or pasta. I just got a rotisserie oven that is my most fave thing EVER! It’s the best and turns out some amazing meals!
Gorgeous fabrics. Thanks for the opportunity on a great draw and Merry Christmas to you.
bonnielarson58(at)gmail(dot)com
We have brought beef stoganoff into the weekly rotation. Pretty quick and hearty.
I definitely have caught the text bug 🙂
We love spaghetti with garlic olive oil and baby spinach leaves, a touch of chilli for the grown ups.
frozen pizza into the oven or grilled cheese or omelette
I love these! My fall back is always burritos. I keep frozen tortillas & meat in the freezer. But when that runs out… I have no idea! 🙂
peachstateme(at)hotmail(dot)com
Oh my this is great. We do rice and beans. . perfect protein! We usually add sour cream, coconut oil, or salsa.
I am constantly struggling on what to make, drives me bonkers!! I usually throw a frozen lasagna in the oven with garlic bread. Vivian
We have a local homemade pasta maker which we like to buy fresh pasta and sauce and freeze so all we have to do is thaw and cook on those days when there just isn’t enough time.
Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
A frittata and salad is my go to meal when there’s no time and hungry tummies to feed. Fast, easy, and tasty. So far no one has figured out that this is my emergency meal–they just think it’s a good dinner. Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity.
Turkey black bean chili w/ lots of leftovers.
My go to dinner is anything crockpot that way I know that dinner will be ready when we are.
My go to dinner is grilled cheese sandwiches…so not interesting! 🙂
I like to make greek style meatballs with orzo.
I highly recommend these spinach lasagna rolls. If you don’t have time to pull them together (even though they are easy) on a week night, they can be made ahead and frozen! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/02/spinach-lasagna-rolls.html
Thanks for the chance to win! akmajor (at) gmail (dot) com
crock pot pork or chicken, later in the week we have barbecue sandwiches with the leftovers. Love the fabric. Thanks..
Love these texty fabrics! For a quick dinner, I like to make sloppy Joes. Fun and easy.
I like to make tortellini. Just boil up a bag and heat up some olive oil and garlic in a pan, saute some frozen veggies, toss it all together, and top with parmesan cheese. So quick to make and really yummy. 😀
I love the new text prints! I have a grand daughter that would love to have a notebook cover made out of them! She is a writer at heart…writes some great stories! Go-to dinners.. I always made up double meals on the weekends and freeze them, then just take them out night before, (didn’t have a microwave back then!) and turn on the oven when I got home from work!
Thanks!
Cheri
quiltingnanny(at)yahoo(dot)com (or the google one!)
If we need easy + fast, we make cheese quesadillas with salsa. Love the prints…thanks for sharing them!
Our favorite go to dinner is taco salad. We always cook enough meat to have two meals. Easy and quick! Thank you!
Roasted winter vegetables tossed in olive oil and sprinkled with goat cheese.
WOW those are amazing fabrics!
My new go to meal is homemade nachos. My daughter helps cut the tomatoes and grate the cheese so it’s a fun dinner.
Thanks for the chance to win.

Six Kid Crowd Please from Dinner: A Love Story. She actually has a lot of great ideas for working moms and they taste great and my kids love them! Thanks for the chance .
I absolutely adore text fabrics. THanks for the chance.
I like to make chicken in the crockpot and then use leftovers for enchiladas or quesadillas.
Love the text fabrics. My go to meals are breakfast for dinner, spaghetti, and grilled chicken breast with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, whatever rolled in a wrap. Hope that helps. Thanks for participating in the Giveaway Day.
Janice! I love that you are doing this! I would make pillows out of the texts fabrics ;-). As for dinners, lately I find myself indulging in anything with melted cheese. Grilled cheese, green apple, and bacon sandwiches! Yum! I hope I win, woot!
Love those texty fabrics – so cute! My go to easy dinner is penne pasta with tomato & pesto sauce with toasted pine nuts & some fresh basil & parmesan cheese on top – 15 minutes from start to finish. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Seriously, the best cooking tool I have is the deep dish cooker from Pampered Chef. I throw a few chicken breasts in that thing with some veggies and seasoning and pop the whole dish in the microwave for 15 minutes and it’s done. Amazing. I know that’s not really a “recipe” but it is amazing and makes weeknight dinners a breeze.
Love the texty! I make a roast chicken on Sunday, so we can have leftover sandwiches, or pasta with the chicken..
I recently made fantastic eggplant lasagna. You use strips of eggplant instead of traditional pasta. Like eggplant parmesan without all the guilt. I also make awesome kichdi, which is a super easy Indian dish made with rice and orange lentils. Thanks for your giveaway. ajhtejpal at gmail dot com
Have you made lasagne with out the big noodles and the second round of cooking? Just make the sausage, add some basiled risotto, hot noodles of any sort, marinara, and cheese. Toss gently. Very goo and much faster. Thanks
Our quick meal is savoury mince, and the recipe varies every time I make it according to what vegies/meat/seasonings we have, but you just soften the onions/garlic and vegies, then fry the mince, combine, add seasonings and voila, haha!
Cook a packet of your favourite pasta and put it in the pasta dish. Cut up 3 chicken breasts and broiled in the microwave, place in the bottom of a casserole dish, on top of the pasta. Add a cup of frozen peas, corns and carrots over chicken. Pour a can of condensed cream of chicken (and corn – if you like this) soup over the whole lot. The n add breadcrumbs and grated cheese to the top and bake for 25-35 minutes (until the top is really crispy and the soup is sort of bubbling). EAT!! Takes about 45 minutes from start to finish as long as you preheat the oven – and if you make double, you can freeze the other half – just don’t put it in the oven!
Spaghetti and garlic bread is always delicious 😉 Thanks for the chance to win!
kimchi dumplings!!
kimchi goes along well with everything~~~
i just can’t imagine life without kimchi although i am not a korean~ hah~
thanks for hosting this!
Meatloaf is a go to dinner for me. Turkey meatloaf to be specific with caramelized onions, balsamic vinegar, sauteed mushrooms and tons of sauteed veggies on stuffed into the loaf. Served with quinoa and veggie of choice Delicious.
Thai chicken with basil & chilli – it is a Ken Hom recipe, quick, cheap and very tasty. Chicken thigh fillets, finely sliced shallots fried up. Add soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar and chopped chilli and then stir in fresh basil just before serving with rice.
Go to is spaghetti. I make my own sauce during the summer gardening months so I feel like I’ve made a special supper that takes me less than 15 minutes. Great fabric choices.
I always have spaghetti or linguine and a jar of alfredo sauce in my pantry. Quick meal that feels special!
I love these prints! What line are they from?
What a great giveaway! My go to dinner tends to be whatever I can find in the freezer!
Yes, I’ve caught the texty bug… so delicious. Speaking of delicious (and awesome segue)… we have a go to chili recipe that makes awesome leftovers and is super tasty and easy. 1 lb. italian sausage (we use sweet or mild) browned, 2 small cans (15 or 16 oz. I think, not the big ones) diced tomato, 1 small can pinto beans (don’t drain), 1 chopped onion, a clove or two minced garlic, salt and pepper… all in a crock pot for 6-8 hours on low. Boom delicious.
I like to freeze homeade lasagne and bake when I am not up to actually cooking. Thanks for the chance to win.
Great texty fabrics! Thanks for the giveaway chance. 🙂 One of our go-to busy night meals is chicken wraps. I just chop a chicken breast or two up, quickly scramble fry with a little sun-dried tomato dressing, and then we eat it wrapped up on tortillas with shredded lettuce & cheese and diced peppers and mustard/salsa/mayo. Everyone loves it.
Spaghetti bolognaise!
I’m not much of a cook. But I’ll tell you that these texty prints remind me of a shirt and sock set I had as a kid with a newspaper print. I loved them so much!
jitterbug1(at)gmail(dot)com
Usually a pasta dish in this house!
Our quickest meal is a lentil stew using canned lentils and mostly frozen vegetables. Here’s a link if you’re ever interested: http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2010/10/ridiculously-easy-vegetable-lentil-stew.html
fried potatoes with fried eggs and a larg bowl of green salad – if you don’T have potatoes just toast some dark bread
now that sounds a bit misleading – if you don’ have any potatos left over or not enough time to cook them beforehand …
Pasta and sauce from a jar! My little girl is a pasta fiend so I always know it is a quick and easy meal if I run out of time
Stir fry, lots of veggies, some protein, sauce, done!
Gorgeous fabric! I love the text styles. 🙂
Spaghetti bolagnaise is always quick to make (especially if you pre-make a big batch of bolagnaise sauce and freeze it in meal-sized portions, then on busy days you just need to cook the pasta and heat the sauce for it. 😉
Love those test fabrics! my go to (after grilling) would be Pam Anderson’s “formula” for Stir fry. Quick and Easy and uses whatever you have on hand.
great group of fabrics! thanks for the chance to win 🙂
My go-to dinner is chicken basil sausage, crumbled and cooked, with some tomatoes and parm cheese, served over fettucine. (Sausage is from Sprouts – I think they’re in LA too?)
Tacos and Spagetti are super quick!
Chicken Enchiladas.
sntbosch(at)msn(dot)com
oooh those are fabulous prints! Well I make a batch of pizza crust from the book American Pie, and divide it into 4 pieces. As long as i remember to pull out of the freezer the day before it makes a very convenient and fun dinner!
My favorite quick meal is always tacos! audiodropzone(at)gmail(dot)com
My go to dinner is spaghetti. I actually “go to” it to much, because I’m getting tired of it! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the text fabrics. Thanks for a chance to win. Go to dinner lately, slice into rounds, turkey sausage (already cooked), cut up red potatoes, onions, broccoli, mushrooms and any other veggie you like. Throw on a cookie sheet, season, put a couple of tablespoons of olive oil on it. Mix up olive oil so it coats lightly all the meat, potatoes and veggies, Roast at 400 degrees for about 30 min or potatoes are tender. Really quick and yummy.
My go to is turkey burger patties and tater tots.
pnconverse(at)hotmail(dot)com
Ummmm cheesey pasta bake is always a winner in our house! x
When I’m really, really tired I make egg fried noodles, with peppers and sweet chilli sauce.
Well this is not a go to meal for the whole family – your husband might complain, but when my kids were toddlers this was my healthy go to meal. BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRITTERS. I’ll even give you the recipe!
1 cup butternut squash – cooked & mashed
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking flour
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
1 tbsp sugar
1 egg – beaten
(Milk if the batter seems to stiff, but usually not needed)
Whip the whole lot up in a bowl. Heat a frying pan – ideally a teflon one. Wipe pan with vegetable oil on a paper towel. Drop teaspoonfuls of batter into the pan and cook like pancakes. Allow to cool a little then serve up to small pudgy fingers! You can also sprinkle these with a little berry sugar & cinnamon. But try them on the kids without first because once you’ve crossed the line with sugar sprinkles, there’s no going back!
Incidently I love the fabric in your giveaway. So thanks for the chance to win. And if you’re a text fabric junkie check out the giveaway on my blog. (not on the sewmamasew list as I wasn’t organized on time) It’s for Improv text fabric which I will design with all the words sent in. See you on Instagram!
Go-to ids a frozen pasta and quick salad.
My go to quicky dinner is to grab something from the freezer from Schwan’s! Their food is great and fast.
A crockpot meal that is quick and easy is to put chicken breasts in the crockpot, pour a can of blackbeans, some salsa and some frozen corn over. Cook on low for about 3 hours. I shred the chicken and serve in flour tortillas with cheese. Quick and yummy!
I am loving texty prints right now!
We love soft taco’s, chicken & quinoa, reheated soup, and crock pot meals.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love this fabric! One of our favorite recipes is black bean soup with turkey sausage. Throw those 2 ingredients along with onions, garlic, salt, etc into a crock pot. Serve over rice. Delicious and good for you.
A favorite I love to use especially in the cold weather is soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. I have started to add garlic and some sliced tomotoes to the sandwiches.
Bacon and eggs or pancakes. Breakfast is always a winner. Thanks for the chance!
What a fun prize! I’m actually working on several Christmas presents including a couple of quilts and some other random items. Will I get them done??? Well, that is the question, isn’t it. And here I am entering SMS giveaways and answering blog comments for my own giveaway. Not complaining tho – it’s way fun.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I like a hearty soup in the crock pot. Thanks for such an awesome giveaway! Happy Holidays to you! 🙂
I love making Cowboy beans in the crockpot…baked beans, pinto beans, cooked ground beef, with some ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar. Mmmmm….! Hey, I’m Pennsylvania Dutch, too!!! But living in Western PA. I’ll be back to visit this blog often! Merry Christmas!
Reading through all the comments is making me hungry! I love the text fabrics and have a pillow in mind that calls for this exact thing. Our easy, last minute dinner is a huge baked potato with cheese and steamed broccoli. Not very exciting.
Hi! I just stumbled onto your blog and my to-do list is growing longer by the minute!
I love making a cheesy hamburger pasta dinner. Basically you mix cooked pasta, pasta sauce, mozzarella cheese, and cooked hamburger together and you get a tasty dinner.
a visible calendar with all things marked helps me with my busy schedule
I make a mega batch of spaghetti sauce (13 meals) and freeze them so I can just take one out when I need it. The kids love it. Thanks for the giveaway, Janice!
Our fall-back dish is a very simple pasta (small shells), with bacon, peas, sour cream, fresh lemon juice, chopped mint, sprinkled with parmesman cheese – easy peasy (hehe) and quick! Although she’s not a fan of peas, my 6-and-a-half year old usually eats a good portion of her share! And I love it (partly because it is my partner’s specialty!)…
Thanks for the opportunity to win those lovely fabrics! X
burritos are fast & easy!
I have a family of picky eaters, for us it’s usually burgers, homemade pizza, or spaghetti
When I seem to have no food left in the house i can usually come up with bread adn cheese for grilled cheese sandwiches.
My current go to meal is sauteed spinach with angel hair pasta and parmesan cheese. My old go to was broccoli and orzo with garlic. I’m a pasta girl!
I’m loving the texty fabric!
My husband is the cook in our family, but I can occasionally throw rice and sausage and beans in a pot and cook it with salsa and stewed tomatoes.
a salisbury steak and gravy meal cooke dinthe oven. Heat up sugar peas orgree peas as some folks call them and make some mashed potatoes to go with it. easy peasy

I absolutely love those texty prints!!! Thanks for the chance to win! My go to dinner is anything
that I can make in the crock pot. It is my best friend!
wigglypup2(at)yahoo.com
Thanks for the giveaway! Mashed potatoes with Campbell’s Chunky Sirloin Burger soup on top. Not a prime example of health, I know, but it is quick when I’m in a pinch and the kids like it. wonderlandbyalyce(at)gmail(dot)com
Spagboll aka spaghetti bolognaise is my hectic night meal, I keep a jar of sauce in the cupboard and just add meat and veggies, our supermarket sells pre chopped veggies in the frozen aisle, so they are another stand by for hectic evenings, I don’t tend to use them all the time, but they are a lifesaver. Dinner is usually done in 20 mins.
I love making chicken or pork stir fry. It’s quick and easy to make and is absolutely delicious!
I love making simple dinner – fry chicken with mix vegetables soup. Simple but the kids like it!
I like to make homemade calzones
I love to make Chicken Taco Soup! I make a huge pot and eat it for days! Great during the winter! Thanks for the giveaway!
Boneless pork country style ribs, slow cooked with a bottle of bbq sauce and water to cover. Let them simmer away on a low burner for at least 2 hours (I usually put them on mid afternoon and forget about them until dinner time). Served over rice.
Hello from another PA dutch girl! I love to make chicken enchilada casserole. The only bad thing is there is never much left for reheats!!
Thanks for the chance to win these yummy things. Cheers, Karen.
pasta with cheese! Thanks for the giveaway!
In a crock pot, four to six frozen chicken breast s’ a jar of salsa, can of corn. Half hour before serving add a half of a brick of cream cheese -4 ounces.
A really easy weeknight meal my kids like are taco potatoes (aka baked potatoes with taco toppings).
I don’t do a lot of weekend cooking, as we eat out a lot-sorry. Thanks for a nice giveaway.
Thanks,
Peggy
peggy_verdongibbs@att.net
Lovely giveaway,love those prints.We like to have pasta with cheese,specially my daughter,it is her favorite.
I have been wanting me some texty fabrics! Thanks! I love to make pasta on an easy supper night!
a) This is amazing fabric!
b) Our go-to meal is taco night!
Nice giveaway! When nothing else is planned hamburger stew is one of my go-to meals. Quick and easy. Cook up the hamburger, add whatever vegies you want or have (I usually add onion, carrot, celery, potato, turnip, frozen peas, frozen corn, but if I have any I’ll add zucchini, broccoli, cauli etc.) and a can of stewed tomatoes. Cook for twenty minutes or more. Yummy.
Beautiful fabrics! Thanks for the chance to win! We are currently loving Scalloped potatoes and ham (http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2012/04/scalloped-potatoes-and-ham/). For quick meals, we’ll often do breakfast (eggs and bacon and/or pancakes and waffles) or homemade pizza using this crust recipe: http://recipes.robbiehaf.com/T/272.htm . It’s a great recipe because it only takes a few minutes to make up the crust. No waiting around for 30+ min for it to rise.
Order pizza! I just found your blog…love your style!
I prepare and freeze meatballs in sauce in small packets and when needed break them out reheat and add cheese and salad in a roll a type of subway style takeout…much cheaper and you know what is in them..also totally yummo! Thanks for the texty goodness giveaways, love them too!
I was kinda hoping I could follow you via WordPress but somehow the toolbar isn’t showing up on the top. Grrr. But I will come back again later to figure this out!
Not the most original answer but it works for me. . . I buy a pre cooked chicken or turkey breast from the grocery store, microwave a baked Potatoe and add a frozen veggie. It’s relatively healthy and quick and easy. Sorry it isn’t more exciting. . .lol!
I am following you via Facebook as Maureen Hayes. Thank you for the additional entry.
I don’t have any texty fabrics as of yet, but these ones are GORGEOUS! I wish I had a meal idea to share….I really don’t, which is sad. I will now read through your comments & try to find a good one (or two!)
We got a panini maker last year, and it is wonderful for quick dinners.
My kids love molletes, if you’re not familiar, it’s a mexican food that starts with bread rolls split in half (upper side and lower side), beans are spread on top of the cut surface and topped with cheese. Warm up in the oven until the cheese is melty, the kids DEVOUR them and how easy are they to make!!
fav go-to weeknight meal: pasta with veggie sauce. it’s my son’s favourite. I saute onions, garlic, and some kind of veggie-usually frozen zucchini slices or peppers, add in a can of rinsed/drained great northern white beans. Then add a can of tomato product-either puree, crushed, chopped, or sauce-but the cans, not a jar. My son likes the taste of what I make with the cans better than pre-flavoured stuff. Add some thyme, oregano, parsley, etc…pepper, salt. And done. Of course, this is all done while the pasta is cooking. Apart from slicing the onion and using the garlic press, it’s pretty quick and easy. Dinner in 30 minutes or less!
Grilled cheese on our favorite Rosemary Artisan bread from Target. 🙂
Text fabric is great fun! We have leftovers as a quick meal. Roast one night and sandwiches the next!
Parmesan Crusted Chicken using the Hellman’s Mayo recipe. Super quick and easy and the chicken is moist and tasty. Not really low-cal, though!! Thanks for the giveaway – I totally have the text bug!!
I’m afraid I need just as much inspiration for meals as you do. And I just need to cook for myself 🙂 I get too lazy! Thanks for the chance to win such awesome texty prints 🙂
I LOVE THOSE FABRICS! Oops, I’m sorry….was I shouting? I really do adore all things texty, though, and that’s a fantastic bundle! I wish I could help you out in recipes department, alas, I cannot cook, so my macaroni & cheese, bell pepper and sundried tomato bake is about as fancy as I get 😛 Thanks so much for the chance to win your awesome giveaway!
Hmmmm- I have a couple of go-tos, but nothing too exciting. I like Chicken Enchilada casserole cause it comes together quickly.
Hi and thanks for your giveaway. I have a quick meal in the skillet. If you have meat brown that up first. Toss in some olive oil and any red or green sweet peppers, couple cloves minced garlic, fresh Basil, tomatoesand serve over pasta with freshly grated Romano or Parmedan cheese.
Pasta mixed with spinach, mushrooms and herbed goat cheese. Quick to throw together and tasty.
Or this time of year on the weekends I’ll make big pots of soup and freeze most of it – so on weeknights I can just bring out some soup, then make a small grilled cheese with it (cheese of your choice with tomato and spinach on sourdough or bread of your choice).
Thanks for the opportunity.

Spaghetti and french bread and salad ~ a favorite at our house.
Thank you for the opportunity to win such lovely goodies 🙂
Sloppy Joes are nice and quick on a weeknight.
Hmm, I have a couple simple go to dinners.
1) Stir fry and pizza. You can stir fry or top a pizza with just about any combination and it’s simple and healthy. Kids can get involved, too.
2) stuffed burgers and steamed veggies and/or potatoes (any kind) depending on the size of your family. here’s a burger recipe I use often. http://sarcasticquilter.blogspot.com/2010/06/first-mystery-meal-stuffed-burgers.html
Thanks for the chance to win.
I love Taste if Thai’s spicy chicken mix — super simple for a weeknight and super flavorful — makes the chicken really moist.
My husband does the cooking at our house, but when I do make dinner I make cheesy chicken enchiladas. Yum! Just cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, picante sauce, shredded chicken, and black olives mixed together in a large pan on the stove, then put into tortilllas and topped with more shredded cheddar and baked enough to melt the cheese on top. 🙂 Thanks!
My kids always loved this. I would, however, substitute ground turkey.
http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Biscuit-Topped-Beef-Casserole
Line a casserole dish with prepared mashed potatoes (real or boxed). In a pan mix 1 pound of browned and drained ground beef and a can of tomato soup. (Double it if your dish needs more.) Layer on top of the potatoes. Sprinkle with parmesan. Bake at 350 for 30-45 min.

Ok I like fast. Sliced ham, baked in the oven. Rice or pasta from a box, and veggies either frozen or canned.
Half hour and the kids will eat it.

Goat milk is often consumed by young children, the elderly, those who are ill, or have a low tolerance to cow’s milk. Goat milk is more similar to human milk than that of the cow, although there is large variation among breeds in both animals. Although the West has popularized the cow, goat milk and goat cheese are preferred dairy products in much of the rest of the world. Because goat cheese is often made in areas where refrigeration is limited, aged goat cheeses are often heavily treated with salt to prevent decay. As a result, salt has become associated with the flavor of goat cheese.-

Hamburgers are usually a feature of fast food restaurants. The hamburgers served in major fast food establishments are usually mass-produced in factories and frozen for delivery to the site. These hamburgers are thin and of uniform thickness, differing from the traditional American hamburger prepared in homes and conventional restaurants, which is thicker and prepared by hand from ground beef. ^
