re: Weekday dinners - Go to Dishes

I generally have 2-3 meatless weeknight meals....eggs, cheese, yogurt, etc substitute for meat/poultry. I find that the animal protein part of the meal is often the most time consuming to,prep and cook. So week nights become way easier when the burritos or tacos are made w canned beans instead of ground beef, or if the entree is a grilled cheese sandwich w a spinach salad, or some variation of baked eggs/shakshuka/huevos rancheros, or hummus and a chopped Greek salad. Entree salads made w greens, a cheese, a fruit, and nuts are satisfying and fast.

Buy or bake good bread, keep 2-3 different kinds in the freezer (sliced or split rolls). Decent, interesting bread can become the backbone of a quick meal. Ex: Smashed avocado on pain au levain toast w an over easy egg on top, with two veggie sides (like asparagus and sautéed zucchini) and fruit for dessert: delicious, easy to prepare, and pretty damn tasty.
