Xpost from PG - Recipe suggestions for very easy dinners
I am pregnant and I have been sick this week. I need to plan dinner and food shopping for the week. I want to make my life very simple and easy this week b/c I don't want to get sicker and I am due in a few weeks.
Any very simple and easy dinner recipes or recommendations that I can prepare this week? I can't do take-out too often b/c I will be even sicker.
TIA

Yummy recipe, Moon!
I love my slow-cooker for easy dinners. If you don't have one, a large soup pot on a stovetop will work, just make sure the flame is low. This is about 1/2 hour of prep (it's a lot of chopping) but after that, dinner cooks itself. I serve this with salad and corn bread.
Slow-Cooker Beef Stew
4-5 red skin potatoes, cut into cubes
4-5 carrots, cut into chunks
1/2 onion, cut into chunks
2 fresh garlic cloves, crushed (or 1/2 teaspoon dried diced garlic)
1.5 lbs chuck steak, cut into cubes
2 cans condensed beef broth (about 2.5 cups)
1/2 cup flour
2-3 tablespoons woschire (sp?!?) sauce
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 bag frozen peas
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
Put carrots, potatoes, onion, pepper, paprika in a mixing bowl. Stir to coat vegetables. Add to slow cooker.
Put steak cubes, worschire sauce, soy sauce, and flour into mixing bowl. Stir to coat. Add to slow cooker.
Add bay leaves and beef broth to slow cooker. (The broth does not need to cover the other ingredients; it should come about 3/4 of the way up).
Cook on "low" setting for about 4 hours and "high" for another 60-90 minutes. Add peas 10 minutes before you're ready to serve. Remove bay leaves when you add the peas.
Add a tablespoon of flour mixed with broth to thicken stew; add beef broth to thin it.
ETA: The stew freezes well, so you can make a lot and toss it in tupperware!
