I wish I just had a link to this, but nevertheless, this recipe is a) fast b) cheap c) delicious d) healthy. For a weeknight, it doesn't get any better.
Chicken Larb Gai
Serves 6
2 pounds ground chicken
4 scallions, chopped
2 small to medium shallots, chopped
2 Tb roasted rice powder
4 tsp red chile paste (I just use sri racha)
2 thai chiles, minced
2 Tb lemongrass, chopped (if available, or skip and use extra lime juice)
6 tb cilantro, chopped
6 tb mint, chopped
Juice of 3 limes (depending on taste)
2 tb fish sauce
Lettuce leaves (romaine or Bibb)
To make rice powder, toast white rice in saucepan until medium brown. Grind in spice grinder. (You can do this during the weekend, etc)
Heat up wok until smoking. Add a few tablespoons of canola oil. Cook the chicken until no longer pink.
Lower heat to medium and add roasted rice powder. Cook for one minute. Add shallots and lemongrass (if using) and cook for two minutes.
Add cilantro, mint, chile, chile paste, lime juice and fish sauce. Cook for a few minutes, taste and adjust seasoning (spicier? Need salt?)
Garnish with additional herbs, scallions if desired. Also, serve in lettuce cups (or not if you don't feel like it!)

You should pick up a copy Mexican Everyday by Rick Bayless. It has easy, delicious, and healthy meals. It's a standby for me, especially when trying to eat lighter fare.

Ribs. And pulled pork with a vinegary barbecue sauce. It's too hard to choose between the two.

fresh oysters with a classic mignonette.

Dinner Tonight: Ramps with Linguine
Not impressed with this recipe. The breadcrumbs didn't add anything except texture, which is questionable. I will give Gourmet Guy's recipe a shot.

We get a CSA basket, with a variety of fresh, local fruits and veggies that keep me inspired. I usually wait until after we get our basket, and then plan meals around the veggies we have on hand. I like to use the fresh stuff with legumes (lentils are my favorite thing lately,) risotto, grains, rices, and pastas. Add a fresh salad and usually lean pork, fish, or eggs and dinner is done. We also grow a ton of herbs in our garden for added flavor. We can adapt most meals for whatever we're craving; be it Asian, Mexican, Italian, etc.

Staples for me include quinoa with some sort of beans and greens mixture - very versatile if you vary the beans and greens. You can add salsa and cheddar to make it mexican, tahini and lemon for a more middle eastern taste, olives, feta, olives and olive oil for a greek take, etc. Soup is also big, as is stir fries with lots of veggies and tempeh. Get a good cookbook (I recommend Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything Vegetarian or any of his other cookbooks) and start cooking. Or scour food blogs for recipes. There are a ton of easy options out there.

This time of year, it's homemade soups and freshly baked bread at my house.

@PumpkinBear: Good for you, trying to mix it up!
I am probably too late since you have probably already made your potpie, but next time I suggest you make this one- it was pretty easy and really, a fantastic pot pie.
Here are some of my other favorite relatively easy and super good dinners that tend to please everyone...
Chicken with Leeks
Rustic Beef and Rice Casserole
Filipino Pork Adobo
Meat with a simple pan sauce
Have fun, and let everyone know how it goes!
P.S. Now I am totally craving Texas Toast and feel like I must have some right now... thanks for the suggestion!

renzata--Sounds pretty damn good. Wish I could find it in NYC. Thanks for the clarification.

First have protein component of meal on hand: tofu, fish, lean meat. Pre-chop vegetables for a stir-fry and finish stir-fry at dinnertime. You've done the prep. There's a huge recipe selection from which to choose.
Get out your slow-cooker - it's not just for hearty winter meals. Slow cookers save on energy and don't heat up the kitchen. Put in your dinner in the a.m. and it's ready when you are. Again, slow-cooker recipes are endless. Add a salad to your slow-cooker entree and you've dinner.
During good weather, it's easier to barbeque. When you grill, grill 'ahead' , e.g., grill a flank steak along with tonight's chicken pieces and you've the makings for a delicious cold beef salad.
