What's everyone cooking?
I feel like I've been running out of ideas. We've both been working like dogs so I'm trying to keep it simple. In my rotation:
Pasta with meatballs
Chicken souvlaki
Tacos
Chili
Stir fries
Quinoa bowls
Veggie/salmon/shrimp burgers (I hate beef)
I did perfect my crispy broccoli using frozen broccoli so that's my good news for the week 
What has everyone else been cooking? I'd love some new ideas

Re: What's everyone cooking?
I’ve been doing complicated things lately (making homemade pasta etc.).
But some simple ones:
Burrito bowls
Open faced sandwich spread. It’s a German thing but you put out butter, nice bread, deli meats, cheeses, pickles, cucumbers, or whatever you have and everyone makes their own sandwich.
Baked salmon. Many different recipes, but salmon is so simple
Lettuce wraps
Soups. Garlic soup is amazing and so healthy.
Salads. Use up all those veggies! I made a great salad with a carrot ginger dressing (like the one you get from Japanese restaurants).
Grilled cheese
BLTs

Re: What's everyone cooking?
I made turkey stuffed peppers yesterday and they were so good!!! I used a recipe from the Better Homes and Garden ollddddd red and white cookbook, but adapted it a little.
4 extra-large or 6 medium green peppers
1 pound ground turkey
? cup onion, chopped
½ teaspoon sea salt
Dash freshly ground black pepper
1 (14½-ounce) can diced tomatoes (I used one can of Rotel that is like 10oz)
½ cup water
½ cup long-grain rice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (I used A1)
1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, finely shredded
Preheat oven to 350°F. Core peppers. Drop into a pot of boiling water, and simmer for five minutes. Drain and place face down on paper towel. Set aside.
Brown ground beef and onion. Season with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes (including liquid), water, rice, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is tender. Add half of the Cheddar cheese, and stir until melted.
Stuff peppers with beef and rice mixture. Bake for 15 minutes then remove and add cheese and broil for 5 on high
Makes 4 to 6

What was your trick to getting frozen broccoli crispy? I usually buy fresh broccoli and roast the florets in the oven but never thought to do it with frozen.

I made chocolate banana bread last night from the Two Peas in Their Pod recipe. It was seriously to die for! So GOOD. I highly recommend it! My pics didn't come out too awesome though

OK, this Big Mac Salad.
Do I just google it and pick one.
Or are you guys using a specific recipe you would like to share with me?

I’ve never eaten a Big Mac. Would this just be a hamburger salad?

Basically, but the dressing is like the Big Mac sauce from McDonalds. So it’s like eating a Big Mac without the bread and carbs.

I just googled and used this one
Big Mac Salad Recipe
I’m not on keto and made some substitutions.. I used regular sugar for the dressing because I didn’t have that keto sweetener from the recipe. Used relish because I didn’t have pickles. Lol.
