I have tons of them but here is what I made for dinner tonight. It makes a huge batch. It feed my husband, my 3 year old and me for about 3-4 days.
Vegatarian Navy Bean Soup.

1cup soaked dried navy beans.
1 peeled diced potatoe
1 can stewed tomatoes.
2 diced carrots
2 diced celery stalks
1 diced onion
3 cups shredded cabbage
3 cups tomatoe juice
3 cups veggie broth (you can use chicken if you want)
3 cups water (or more or less depending on how thick you want it)
1 tb cumin
1/3 cup prepared mustard
1 tb chilli powder
salt to taste
Bring to a boil then cook on low intill the beans are soft (about 3-4hrs) purree 1/3 of the veggies and beans and add back to the soup (this thickens the broth without adding starch or flour.) Add 1/2 cup brown rice or 1 cup instant brown rice. cook for another 30 minutes to an hour till rice is done.

Lentils with Bulgur & Balsalmic Vinegar

1 1/2 cups washed/strained/picked over lentils
1 cup coarse bulgur (consistency #3)
5 cups of vegetable broth
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp thyme
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 Tbs grapeseed oil (or whatever oil you use)
2 onions, diced
1 carrot, thinly sliced
3 Tbs balsalmic vinegar

Combine broth, lentils, bulgur, salt, thyme & pepper in a large pot. Bring to a boil, cover & simmer for 25 minutes. In 12 inch dutch oven heat oil, add carrots & onions and sautee over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, until onions are browned & carrots are soft. Gently mix the lentil/bulgur mix into the veggies. Cook for 2 more minutes. Add balsalmic vinegar & mix. Serve immediately. Makes about 8 servings (yay for leftovers!!)

My kids are really annoyingly picky eaters, but last night they all (5 yrs, 3 yrs & 1 yrs) gobbled it up. It was the first time I made it.

My mother in law assumes i cant cook so she gave me this reall super simple recipe. You might have already had this one.

Cream of mushroom chicken.

Boneless chicken in a whatever size bake sheet you want. For how much chicken you cook.

Season to taste (I like mccormick garlic seasalt and mccormick lemon & pepper) salt, garlic and pepper would be good too. Whatever you prefer.

Then stir together one can of cream of chicken w/ 1/2 cup of milk

Poor that in pan w/ chicken

Then add graded cheese on top.

You can add any veggies you like. I like tomatoes and onions.

Cover with foil. Maybe poke a couple holes in there with a fork

Preheat oven to 350 (maybe you should do this first :)

Cook for about 50 min. Check on it. Mine is usually done but time varys for every oven. May another 10 to 20 minutes.

Serve this with a bag of green giant veggies you find in the frozen section. Just throw it in the microwave, some wheat toast and a glass of milk and you got a healthy very easy (even i can do it) meal.

I was rereading my answer and realized it may not sound that good but it is the best chicken i have ever had.
