Delicious suggestions here! Like Mrs Green, I also make a lot of soups and stews as they are quick, easy and warming on a cold day. If I’m really pushed for time then pasta with pesto is a favourite and I often add something like green beans or broccoli so that I’m eating some vegetables with it too.

Another quick healthy meal that can easily be adapted to however many people you have is bean tacos. I use a can of spicy vegetarian chili instead of just beans. So the five ingredients (in order of assembly) are the taco shells, spicy vegetarian chili (I like Amy’s), grated cheese, chopped onion, and chopped lettuce.

Wow you guys these are all fabulous suggestions! I think we may have to start a ZFH cookbook of quick and easy meal ideas :)

@ Jack Purdue – I was wondering if anyone was going to call me out on the iceberg lettuce :) I know it’s not the best but it is what I usually have in the fridge. You are right though that baby spinach and romaine taste a lot better.

@ Joel Drapper – I usually make these meals when I’m in a hurry so there’s little time to be taking pictures ;)

I cannot wait to try some of these. I know you can’t go wrong with blt!

My personal favorite.

2 tomatoes – diced
6 green onions – diced (go a bit into the green that is yummy flavor)
handful of fresh cilantro – chopped
put in bowl squeeze fresh 1/2 lime and a touch of s@p

homemade fresh salsa.

one avacodo
mashed up with the other have of lime and a touch of salt.

perfect foundation for a Mexican wrap.

Pushing the five ingredients but…
add chicken and/or black or pinto beans and/or rice
and/or cheese and/or sour cream

Add all or one. Doesn’t matter. It is simply yummy.

wrap it up in a tortilla and enjoy.
