I enjoy preparing lasagna, green salad and bread for my family. Great for leftovers.
In the winter my favorite meal to cook is made-from-scratch soups. My favorites being chicken dumpling and also cream of mushroom. Along side it I will sometimes make home-baked bread or dinner rolls. I make chili quite often in the colder months as well, and like pairing that with white corn meal corn bread, served warm with Wisconsin/local pure maple syrup or honey.
During the warm seasons we grill out a lot. I love making marinated chicken kabobs or beef tenderloin on the grill, along side grilled, foil-wrapped sliced red potatoes from my brother-in-law’s potato field, with lots of butter, sweet bell peppers, onions, mushrooms and some of our favorite seasonings added to the mixture for taste: Jane’s Krazy Mixed Up Salt, Watkins Garlic Pepper Seasoning, Lawry’s Seasoning Salt, etc.
For something more “fun”, we will make homemade pizzas… I either make the crust from scratch or buy pre-made crusts (depending on time and if I have the energy, LOL), and we use my home-canned pizza sauce (if there’s any left in the pantry). Then top them with whatever toppings we want on them. This is such a good, tasty and fun meal for eating while watching a movie or something.
Sorry so lengthy… I love cooking, baking, canning… and this is a topic I really enjoy talking about!
I love to make a big pot of chili! It is so good with a little cheese sprinkled on top.

Chicken and Dumplings or Chicken and homemade noodles. Always a hit.

Gonna have to go with spaghetti 🍝
Favorite meal: Instant Pot a whole chicken, baked potatoes (cooked in the microwave), green beans, tossed salad, fresh fruit for dessert.
Breakfast
For me, this time of year, it’s soup….a huge pot that lets me have several meals, some for the freezer for later (I have a lot of variety in the freezer so a different kind every night). I save leftover juice from roasts, boil up chicken bones for the juice and make great soups. Also have a very quick and easy recipe for Taco Soup that can be whipped together in less than half an hour. I do love cream soups (Minnesota Wild Rice Soup and Chicken Corn Chowder) but only have those once a season because of the calories and they don’t freeze.
Tacos – because they’re quick and easy and my kids love them!
I love to cook great big pots of soup. I freeze it in smaller containers for quick meals later on.
Thai peanut noodles. And when I’m eating low carb I substitute cauliflower for the noodles or broccoli
Thanks for getting me thinking about this. I make mushroom enchiladas in a verde sauce that is delicious and really easy and is great when reheated. I should make them soon and freeze some.
My current (quick) favourite meal is to make tortillas a la me: I fry up onion, and any veg or leftovers. Add spices, then add beans/lentils or similar (depending what’s there). Heat through. Sometimes I add grated cheese and/or (pine)apple. Warm wraps, and serve to be assembled at the table. One of the few meals everyone in my house loves! I get glutenfree wraps for my son who has coeliac disease, and it’s vegetarian for my other son (though you can add meat if you prefer). And it’s quicker than writing it down here 😉
A lot of soup in the winter. One of the favorites is Black Bean Salsa.
I can’t say it’s my favorite, but my granddaughter loves tater tot casserole. So that’s what we make at least once a week when she visits, I’m looking forward to Project Quilting!
Apricot Chicken. Uses a packet of French Onion soup, apricot nectar and chicken drumsticks. Oven for an hour. Serve with rice. Yum.
Curries of all kinds or chili with beans 🙂
I love making macaroni hamburg or hamburg macaroni…yummy. Thanks for the chance to win.
My favorite meal to cook is one where all the kids come home. I enjoy our family. Their favorites are lasagna or rice and pork adobo.

In the winter, it is definitely chili and cornbread or tortellini soup. In the summer, a big ol’ salad with lots of fresh veggies!
I love to cook pot roast and roasted vegetables in the winter. So good! Thanks!
Tacos, any kind of taco.
I love to make pork side ribs in the pressure cooker. So good! Thanks!

My favorite meal is cooked by someone else 😉. Husband or child 😄 I don’t care who.
Otherwise it is something quick or something that can be slow cooked.
I like to make desserts🥰

My favorite meal changes with the seasons. I do love to cook for others, and love to cook their favorites. Soups and stews in the winter. Salads and things on the grill in warm months. I am pleased that I have almost mastered a good Thai curry.
Looking forward to participating this year in the challenge.

My favorite meal for a quilt day is Chalupa!
Brown 2 lbs. boneless pork ribs and throw them along with about 3 cups of the pan water in the crock pot.

1 diced onion
1 can black beans, rinsed/drained
2 T. chili powder
1 T. cumin
1 T. dried oregano
1 T salt
Allow to cook 5-6 hours until pork easily shreds with two forks.
Great meat for burritos, tacos, chimi-changas, quesadillas, Nachos, taco soup, etc.

I like to bread turkey cutlets with panko crumbs and fry them. Serve with a veg and salad (we are doing low carb so no potatoes- otherwise they would be there in some form!)
My favorite meal to cook is a pot roast with carrots, red potatoes, and onions all at once and it is so moist. That was for dinner for breakfast I love to make dutch baby so simple and not as heavy as pancakes
I like to make soup, mostly I make what my husband calls “fart soup” which is a variant of chicken soup, but it has a ton of kale, onions and white beans in it. 🙂
Hi Kim,
My all time favorite meal is soup of all kinds. After a little prep work it simmers on the stove and the house smells heavenly.
I love making soup in my Instant Pot! Quick, easy, and healthy.
My favorite meal is bean soup in the crockpot with a nice crusty warm bread.
It is summer here so our favourite meal is panko crumbed freshly caught fish. Better still is that hubby catches and cooks it. I make the wedges and salad.
My favorite meal (and my husbands, too) is scalloped potatoes and ham! In fact, I’m making a roaster full today!
Easy slow cooker meal — chicken pieces (we use boneless/skinless thighs and breasts) in slow cooker, top with some pats of butter/margarine, and sprinkle your favorite seasonings on top. Cover and let go. Easy peasy
Crockpot pot roast… Then the leftovers get cooked into a beefy chunk vegetable stew.
Chicken piccata and broccoli pasta! Delish!
Green pizza….crust, pesto, spinach leaves, broccoli, red onion, green or black olives, black beans & sometimes corn
Sprinkle a bit of feta or parmesan
Yum yum!
My favourite meal to cook is pasta. It is a fight free dinner and by that I mean kids eat it, clean their bowls and the limited clean up also makes them more cooperative!! Win win.
My fave for winter is crockpot meatball and cabbage soup with a pan of cornbread (I am southern ya know!)
My favorite meal is anything I can cook in the crock pot! Even though I am retired, I love the time freedom this offers.
I love a spiral sliced hame with a salad of green leaf lettuce carrots and egg and my homemade Mac and cheese and biscuits!
Favorite meal — soup, especially Zappa Toscana
Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes!
I love cooking for my family. As an empty-nester it is such a treat to have them here when they all come home. I always make the foods of their childhood which are unavailable in other parts of the country: Norwegian meatballs, lefse, and all the fixings. It’s like Christmas!
Can’t go wrong with my favorite, macaroni and cheese. Add ham, or serve fish sticks on the side. Finish it off with peas and a salad.
Sauté Shrimp in olive oil, garlic, sprinkle with Parmesan and squeeze lemon juice on top just as you remove it from the heat source. Serve w a green veggie-grilled asparagus, roasted broccoli perhaps.
I don’t know what I call this meal but it’s super quick-like under 10 mins.
I have to say my favorite meal to make is a big breakfast scramble
I have a long list of favorites, but I think you are looking for easy meals to increase quilting time, so here’s one. Put 4 boneless chicken breasts, 1 can each of black beans and corn (both drained), some diced peppers and onions, and 1 jar of salsa (16 oz) in a crock pot and cook about 6 to 8 hours on low. I serve this over cooked rice with grated colby jack cheese sprinkled on top. Lots of time to sew while it cooks!
I like to cook tri tip on bbq
Gotta be grown-up mac and cheese.
I make a roasted chicken and roasted veggy tray.
