Meatless and/or 5 Minute Meals

I'm getting around to tagging my recipes, but when I list my dinners for the month, I don't always include every one in it's own separate post if recipes are simple. Meatless is usually my 5 minute I don't feel like actually cooking meals. So if you're looking for those, you won't be able to see them if they aren't tagged in their individual posts. So... here is my list-

Sweet and Sour Rice w/ Veggies - basic recipe, leave out your chicken or meatballs

Tostadas-shell with refried beans, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, etc

Spaghetti - pasta and red sauce

Pasta Alfredo - pasta and white sauce (use the packet when I don't feel like making it)

Baked Potatoes - I grew up on baked potatoes as a meal with some green beans or corn. Jack thinks he needs chili or sour cream and cheese on top. Whatever. It's still a very cheap meal however you do it.

Fish Sticks & Fries - no explanation really needed :)

Mac and Cheese - Kid Dinner if I'm not really hungry

Tuna Melts or Grilled Cheese - really, any kind of sandwich can do if it's one of those days

Pancakes -I usually like spam and toast with it if I'm doing it for dinner

French Toast, Omelets, lots of breakfasts are meatless so go with that!

My fake meatless foods-
(They actually have meat, but I still consider them cheap [which is why I mainly do meatless] if they're fake meats :)

french bread pizza - I usually put our lunch meat (ham) and pineapple on it. Of course, you can always make any pizza vegetarian style

Chicken Sandwiches - you know, the cheap patties on a hamburger bun. Toppings are endless, seriously so many varieties you can make!

Chicken Strips & Pasta-roni
