Not like crazy Mexican, Indian or really out there kinda of meals. I’ve got a picky partner, but he loves home cooked meals. As do I and I’m so tired of cooking the same 5 meals all the time.
I’d like some good ideas for chicken, meat, ham – anything like that, that includes veggies. Anything really. Crock-pot cooking is awesome too.
Thanks!

My favourites : Multigrain breaded fish fillets ( buy them in a frozen package and cook using box directions ) . And i prepare this with
crispy sweet potatoe wedges , and couscous .
For the sweet potatoes you buy 3 sweet potatoes cut them into wedges drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper , season them with a generous amount of cinamon , and some rosemary . bake in the oven for 30 seconds and they come out so crispy . Couscous , you boil your cous cous for 10 minutes , and add some sliced yellow bell pepper , some kidney beans , finely sliced mnushroom , zuchinni , and some onions . ( instead of the fish you can make a meatloaf with egg in the middle , and instead of the couscous you could boil some spinach with some onions , or some brocolli you just sprinkle with salt and olive oil over the florets in a microwavable big pan , and you put that in the microwave for 12 minutes! its good )
