I have to feed myself, partner and 2 teenage kids. So meals suitable for 4 people.I need quick %26amp; easy dinner recipes and a 7 day meal planning ideas, as I work 4 days week, thanks?
Start with your basic meat.. such as Monday have a roasted chicken, with maybe potato's and carrots... Tues have the leftover chicken in a wrap sandwich, or use it to make chicken soup, etc. Wed... maybe a pot roast you can let cook all day in the slow cooker with veggies, and if there is enough left over make beef stew or something similar on Thurs. Friday, Fish, baked fried or grilled, with rice ... Sat, Cook chicken breasts serve with any left over rice, and a salad, and use to make fajitas with on Sunday with onions and peppers, salsa and sour cream..... this is how I plan my week.. I work too, and have 2 kids and a partner... who does no cooking by the way...... good luck to you! Hope this helps a bit! There is always the occasional Tuna salad you can throw in there, pretty easy, or a ground beef meal you can make it with hamburger helper... there are easy to put together meals in every grocery store in the USA.... you can always try those.. You didn't say if you were a ';cook'; or not...I need quick %26amp; easy dinner recipes and a 7 day meal planning ideas, as I work 4 days week, thanks?

Top beans with hamburger mixture and then spread cheese evenly over the top.
Place back under the broiler until cheese is melted. Top with green onions, tomatoes and olives.
Cut into wedges and spoon onto a plate, top with sour cream, guacamole and salsa then surround with corn chips.
Scoop up with the chips and enjoy!
QUICK TURKEY CHILI
1 lb ground turkey
1 cup chopped onions
1 can diced green chilies
1 can diced tomatoes
2 tabelspoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic
4 tablespoons chili powder (to your taste)
salt %26amp; pepper
hot sauce if desired
Brown ground turkey in olive oil until brown, add onions and cook until soft. Add garlic, salt, pepper and chilie powder, mix well, add chopped chilies, diced tomatoes and simmer for about an hour on low. Serve with sour cream and grated cheese. Add hot sauce if desired
QUICK TEX-MEX GOULASH
1/2 lb. elbow macaroni
1 lb ground sirloin
1 small onion, finely diced
2 c. tomato juice
1 pkg McCormick's Taco Seasoning
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can sweet corn, drained
2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
sour cream
sliced black olives
chopped green onions
Prepare the macaroni according to the package instructions.
(Note: Do not rinse the noodles. The starch left on them helps bind the goulash so it doesn't get too runny.)
Saute the sirloin and onion in a skillet until the meat is brown and the onions become translucent.
Drain the fat off. Add tomato juice and the taco seasoning to the meat. Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 10 min.
In a large pot, combine the noodles, meat mixture, corn, beans, and shredded cheese. Allow this to simmer for about 20 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is melted. You may need to add up to a cup more of the tomato juice if it's too dry.
To serve: place a helping of goulash on a plate then garnish with sour cream, black olives, and green onions. It's nice to set the garnishes on the table as when serving tacos. Don't be afraid to use whatever garnishes you'd use on a taco. Some like green peppers, jalepenos, salsa, fresh diced tomatoes, crushed torilla chips, cheddar cheese. Get creative!
This dish is so easy even someone a little intimidated with Tex-Mex cooking can really shine and look like a pro!
