What are your family’s top 3 favorite meals?

daily writing prompt

Favorite meals, huh? I can give you the meals that we have most often, but favorite meals vary. They vary by setting and price and complexity and all sorts of fun things like that.

In my house we usually go with chicken breasts, most recently in an air fryer. Sides can be potatoes and a veggie. Sometimes it can be quinoa with stir fried veggies. Another common meal is a sort of disconnected Shepard’s Pie, where we fry up some ground beef, make some mashed potatoes, and add corn and serve them all separately rather than all mixed together. Another regular would be tacos, where we similarly fry up some beef and add veggies and maybe some refried beans and some cheese* and fill up a taco shell and go for it.

Honorable mentions go to spaghetti and meatballs and the occasional pot roast or roast beef that my wife makes shit out of, let me tell you. She also makes the best schnitzel. We don’t have that often, but when we do… chef’s kiss.

Of course if it were up to us and money were not an issue then we’d hit a high end steak house every night. That would probably be THE FAVORITE, but you can’t really do that every day, right?

Of course, today being the day after Thanksgiving, I expect every American to answer this question with turkey and all the trimmings.

Sorry… today’s daily writing prompt response is pretty lame. I’ll try to be more exciting tomorrow. Just be patient. I promise it will get better.
