I would like a tips on making "dinner" on those nights when you just don't want to make dinner.
Everyone has nights like these Dana! I usually plan 2 easy meals each week to pull out on the tired/too busy weeknights. Some meals that work for my family are: ravioli tossed in olive oil and parmesan, toast and smoothies, sandwich night and crackers-cheese-fruit plates. Keeping something of the frozen variety on hand is another good backup. Christy likes Stouffer's lasagna because it has no preservatives. I love Alexia's sweet potato fries and a lesser evil version of chicken nuggets (Foster Farms has whole grain, white meat, no preservatives) for a surprise treat dinner.
What else can be done on those nights when making dinner just isn't happening? I'm sure we can give Dana lots more ideas!

My favorites are"Honey, would you please go to Tace Bell and pick up a taco salad" which he is always glad to do, or I fall back to Black Bean Chicken Soup( always in the freezer)( Liz recently posted a version of it) served with some chips. I find that when unannouced company arrives this is the best. We always have a bag of spinach & salad mixto go along with it.
Breakfast for dinner! French toast, waffles, or pancakes...
There's a brand of soup called "Bear Creek" that is to die for and makes 8 cups worth in 15 minutes -- all you have to do is add water!! Absolutely amazing!
i love canned soup and grilled cheese. also, breakfast is one of our favorite options.
Taco Soup. I try to always have pre cooked hamburger in my freeze. In a saucepan I add canned corn, kidney beans, tomato sauce, green chili's, taco seasoning and some hamburger. Very Easy and delicious!!
