Have you tired the Waitr app? Pick a place and have it delivered to you. Can’t beat that.

Do Blue Apron or an equivalent for a few weeks. It can be expensive but do it for a short time to get different dinner ideas and then cancel it.

This week. Chuck roast with cauliflower mashed potatoes. I’ll eat that for several nights. Later in the week grilling a pork tenderloin with turnip greens.

We try to stay half-arse low carb.
Day 1-stewed okra and tomatoes with ground meat and onions in it.
Day 2-Steaks and mashed cauliflower.
Day 3-Stewed squash with bacon and onions in it.
Day 4-BBQ chicken or pork chops with sausage.
Day 5-Chili
Day 6-Boiled seafood
Day 7-Cheat day, Fried shrimp, backstrap, okra, and fries.

Now if not low carb, gumbo, sauce piquante, taco soup, crawfish bisque, pulled pork or ground meat nachos, tacos, bbq shrimp, bacon wrapped scallops.

What Paul said

Order pizza one night
Get Chinese food another night
Family box from Popeyes
Golden Corral I believe has a night where kids eat free when an afult purchases a buffet
Kids eat for 1.99 on certain days if the week at Piccadilly with the purchase of an adult entree
Taco Bell has the family combo. Like 12 tacos for 14 bucks.
Get a bucket of jambalaya from the jambalaya shop for like 25 bucks

Really there isn’t any reason you need to cook at home anymore.

Because it’s fun and relaxing (not to mention it’s a valuable skill)?

Our rotation is something like this
Spaghetti, tacos, fajitas, chicken and dumplings, gumbo, taco soup, chili, broccoli rice and cheese, fried chicken, chicken tenders, bbq chicken, fried rice, tater tot casserole, stuffed bell peppers, shrimp or crawfish etouffe', shrimp creole, fried and boiled shrimp, pork chops in many ways, smothered chicken or pork chops, bbq pork butt on grill or crock pot and I'm sure I'm forgetting some and my fingers are tired, on tablet. This varies depending on weather and what's on sale. Hope this helps

You and your kids are going to be lard asses.

Cooking can be fun and it never hurts to know how to do it. Cooking at home is almost always more healthy and less expensive too.

Sounds pretty good. Does this have a particular name? Would like to search to see if I can find a recipe on the internet.

All of this is true, assuming you have time to cook. It is absolutely not fun if you come in from work and have to take the kids to practice and then have to go and run errands. The only answer there is crock pots and that just isn’t fun.

I'm not sure. I know that sesame seeds and peanuts are used as the thickener. It's an Indian recipe.

Wife says that it also has onions, salt, ginger, garlic paste, garam masala, cinnamon and cardamom pods and it's mixed into some sort of yogurt mixture.

We've never cooked it before, so I'm not sure how it'll turn out.

Print out the WFDT thread and throw a dart at it. Cook what the dart lands on.
