What do you cook for dinner?

Its hard to come home after a hard days work and cook a big feast for everyone! They are getting sick of my usual spagetti, chicken casserole, frozen pizza . . . . :) I need some ideas for dinners that are quick and easy to make for four people.

Combinations with fried rice are always good, you can eat anything with it and combine endlessly.
I make a pot roast in the crock pot. Add all the ingredients in the morning, and when you come home its good to go.,hope this helps.
those bags of vegatables are good and easy, so is a roast and potatos in the crockpot, sourkraut and polish sausage is very good in the crockpot
Tacos. Really easy. You just need the meat and fixins, and get a taco kit (comes with shells, seasoning, salsa). You can also do a stir-fry. Just cook up some minute-rice and chicken or a thin cut of beef; get frozen mixed vegetables for stir-fry and Kikoman stir-fry seasoning. Real easy.
give them some veggies also u can put oil in a non stick pan and put some cashews and almons and a pinch of salt fry them then put cooked steam rice in it. its called semi biryani u can hav it with some gravy or just like that. njoi cookin.
I stock up on chicken breasts, lean pork chops, sirloin steak. I can marinate them (or put a rub or sauce on them) and broil. They cook very quickly if they don't have any bones in them. Then you can eat them one night with a veggie, put them in brown rice or over noodles one night, or stir fry them with veggies. You have a least 3 different meals and by changing meats, you have even more. I cook the meats on Sunday afternoons and prepare for the whole week, making sure I have the side dishes on hand. Very easy!
First off....kudos to you for being the one to come home from a days work and fix dinner for everyone else....Here is an idea from Rachel Ray's dinner in 30 min tv show.....linked to their website that might give you a whole bunch of ideas http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_tm/episode/0,1976,FOOD_9997_21887,00.html
