In reply to Hilary. No, it's just stew meat. Really simple and really good! ?

In reply to Carol. Oooo, that sounds good! Is it just labeled "beef tips" at the grocery store?

Beef tips with gravy. Brown stew meat in oil. Add cream of mushroom soup. Simmer at least 30 minutes and serve over cooked egg noodles.

Sausage and potatoes. Just cut up link sausage and cook in a skillet with potato slices.

In reply to dropofrain. Yup, they're great family meals and a lot of them are easy to sneak in some vegetables as well. :)

My husband and my grandson generally do not like veggies and fruit (a couple exceptions maybe). It is very difficult to make something healthy that everyone will eat. Everyone is making meals for themselves. So, at one point I stopped buying fruits/vegetables – why bother shopping for myself only, right? Well, i think I need to start meal planning to see how can I change that and eat together as a family, even if it is only a couple of weeknights. Baked potatoes, spaghetti, pancakes- these can perfectly work for us. Thank you for the ideas.

In reply to Lynness. My husband does a stir fry once a week (when I work). It's a GREAt one!

Stir-frys are super easy, if you have pre-cooked chicken or pork (I have some in the freezer and home-canned). While the rice is cooking (my cooker takes about 10 minutes), thaw or open the chicken, pour some sauce in and load it with a frozen veggie mix or all the fresh veggies that need to be used up!
