quick and easy meals

I have several meals that I can fall back on when asked "What's for dinner?" I try to plan ahead, but if I am crunched for time, it's nice to have some old reliable stand bys on hand. There are a few reasons these meals qualify. Here are some of my favorites:

1. ingredients easy to find

2. cheap

3. goes a long way

4. easy to stock up on ingredients/keep them on hand

5. healthy and nutritious

6. tastes good

7. filling

8. everybody loves it

9. easy to prepare

10. doesn't take long to prepare
