Casual Conversation

my mom came up with this absolute banger, super simple, easy to elevate if you feel like playing around

chicken (whatever floats your boat, i prefer bone-in skin-on thigh but my mom always used skinless breasts)

one jar of orange marmalade

3/4 a bottle of italian dressing

throw it in the white crockware and bake half an hour, turn on the broiler at the end if you feel nice, then serve with some plain rice with a hefty spoon of that juice over it, and any salad or green, i like a bomb garlicky sauteed broccoli, my mom always called it "orange chicken" and it makes for great leftovers even, hope you like it ^-^

Chana masala

Almost any Asian dish.

I've had this problem too, I'd second the asian food reccomendation

Jambalaya, curry, and soup & stews all come to mind also

I love cheese so much but also love:

Beans and rice, in all their endless delicious variations.

Eggs and home fried potatoes and refried beans.

Coconut milk curry, vegetables and chicken or shrimp or tofu.

Speaking of chicken - chicken and yellow rice with black beans.

Salmon and potatoes - cut the potatoes up and toss them with olive oil and salt, let them cook then move them around and put the salmon on the pan. Whatever you are seasoning the fish with, pour some on the potatoes too (lemon or if you have a marinade) then back in the oven till the fish is cooked.
