Friday Night Meals Not Take away?

Hi, I do my grocery shopping on a friday night when DH gets home from work and I buy everything I need for the week and weekend for meals. On friday nights when I get back from shopping I cook tea and I usually cook something that is quick my favourite is sweet chilli chicken wraps.
I buy chicken tenders, burrito wraps, lettuce cheese tomato and mayo and put it all together on the wrap with sweet chilli sauce tastes awesome and is filling and quick to make.
I am just wondering what other people make that is quick just for some more ideas.
Thanks.

For something easy and nutritious I usually buy a hot chook and do frozen vegies with a Continental Rice or Pasta side dish.

thanks for the reply tinkerbell, I usually do that one too or with salads and oven baked chips or I buy some nuggets or something and do the same.

Yeah, we usually do a slap up dinner on shopping night too (thursday) cause i am just too knackered once I get home late pack it all away and start getting kids bathed etc. Sometimes its pizza, other times its just sausage sandwiches or an omlete.

I know where I'm going for Friday night dinner :lol:

You could do pizza, using frozen bases, and throw whatever toppings you like on there. Hamburgers, using nice fresh bread rolls from the supermarket/bakery.
Fish & oven baked potato chips
Or even good old scrambled eggs on toast/soup and toast.

I do pizza on pita bread or chicken burgers with frozen chicken breasts and oven chips.

I like the sound of hamburgers - might have to be a bit more organised for that - hmmm maybe I could do chicken burgers even or chicken snitzel burgers yum

ausgirl we must have posted at the same time (re: chicken burgers)

BLT's on fresh bread rolls....yumm:lol:. Another easy meal is to make a quiche during the day and then simply reheat that night with either salad or frozen chips.

We do homemade pizza dinners on Friday night, we got a trick of Jamie Oliver and we do a heap of pizza bases at once and freeze them, so we do enough to get us through a month and freeze them so all we have to do is take them out and go.... We separate the bases with a layer of baking paper.

Also left over night... we do that heaps...

Mmm love BLT's! Or Bacon & egg rolls! Where's a *drool* smilie when you need one!

Gee sure makes our dinner tonight- sausages in bread :redface: - look rather boring!! Lol. Too tired to do anything else...

Salad- i love your sweet chilli wrap idea! I am going to do that one! Sounds yummy.

Hamburgers, scrambled eggs on toast or boiled eggs with soldiers toast, bbq Chook sandwiches or what Tinkerbell said.

alibaby - they are so easy and everyone I have made them for loves them, I use the ingam tenders they are so yummy.

im hungry now lol...x

We do our BBQ chook with frozen veg, can't remember what brand but they have a cheesy sauce and pasta in also? I usually add extra froz veg & a cheese sauce packet, shred the chicken & stir it through - is nicer than it sounds!

Another one is, our Butcher does great kebabs, lamb chicken or beef on the stick - we have those with salad...yum...

Jitterbug - I told you so. They are addictive :)

What about a quiche!! You could throw it together when you get home put it in the oven then put the groceries away as it is cooking....serve with a salad!! Very tasty and healthy and doesn't blow the budget either!

We do chicken caesar salad using a BBQ chicken, or we do pies with mushy peas, potato & gravy (yummo!)

quiche is yum I love it, all these ideas have been so helpful keep them coming if you can.
Last night we had chicken snitz burgers on bacon and cheese rolls with lettuce tomato cheese sauce mayo and beetroot. They were yummy.

TACO"S!!!!!!!!

My kids get the biggest kick out of them and their easy as.

Friday nights is our home takeaway night....we have take away but make our own.

Muffin pizza's, buritto's, steak sanga's, hot dogs

I let the kids have fun ma,ing them to and their out of my hair for a few mins

Friday nights are my lazy dinner nights. i normally do hotdogs, toasted sanga's, homemade pizza, burgers, taco's, kebabs, oven baked fish/nuggets and chips, lasagne chips and salad, sweet and sour pork with springrolls. Even a simple stirfry is quick enough to whip up.

Spaghetti Carbonara is pretty quick to whip up. Or even just spaghetti with a jar of pesto. You can chuck in any combination of sundried/semidried tomatoes, baby spinach, mushrooms and bacon/ham if you feel like it.

We buy chicken wingettes that have been marinated and bake them in the oven with some wedges and have them with some salad-easy and everyone eats it.

In winter, why not chicken and sweet corn soup? We make this with a bbq (all the meat pulled off the bone), 2 cans of creamed corn and 2 litres of good chicken stock. You can add spring onions, soy/maggi sauce and if you want to get spesh stir in a whisked egg at the end and you can even serve with crunchy noodles. It really doesn't take that long to make (maybe 30 mins) and its fantastic.

Also keep some of those 2 minute rices (the family size pack) and make a quick fried rice, just as quick as tacos.

Another thing is to set the slow cooker up during the week with some porcupine balls, and lift it out of the freezer friday morning, defrost and make your own meatball subs with cheese and olives :)

When I don't want to cook, especially in winter, I throw together some milkfood. This is a family favorite and SOOOOO easy and quick, I would dare to say it's faster than ordering take-away. You can use it as desert too ;)

This really is comfort food at it's best.
