Day 4 of Finding Joy in My Kitchen's Countdown to 2012, brings us the Best Main Dish Recipes of 2011. This one was hard to get narrowed down, so I just picked a sampling of the recipes the whole family enjoyed--kids and adults. Can you tell we like pasta at our house? :)
Don't forget to check out our other best recipes in the series....best breakfasts, breads, and soups. You also might enjoy checking out a list of our favorite main dish recipes of all-time.
Spinach Lasagna Rolls--these lasagna rolls were a total hit at our house. The kids liked the cool presentation of the rolled lasagna, I liked the built-in portion control, and we all liked the taste!
Chicken and Bean Taquitos--ever since coming up with this recipe earlier this year, this has quickly become one of our favorite go-to recipes for a crazy night. We absolutely love these dipped in ranch dressing.
Creamy Lemon Chicken Pasta-- this quick and easy pasta dish has become my daughter's favorite meal. Lucky me, she likes it so much that when I say I need help making dinner she begs to make this for us. We love the lemon and garlic flavor combination so much, that we never complain!
Creamy Chicken Enchiladas--a variation on traditional enchiladas, these are still a hit with the whole family
Tacos in a Bag--perfect for a crazy summer night, you don't even need plates to serve this one up
Make-Your-Own Personal Pizza--perfect for a kids' party or just so you can please everyone at dinner, these super easy make-your-own pizzas are a hit at our house.
Best Grilled Chicken Fajitas Ever--These were so dang good, I could never go back to the generic version of fajitas I made before these.
Garlic-Tomato-Bacon Pasta--This dish has 12 whole cloves of garlic in it, but it wasn't overwhelming at all. In fact, we all agreed that this dish could easily have been on a restaurant menu.
Goat Cheese and Herb Stuffed Chicken--Fancy and kid friendly, this dish is perfect for serving company or just for a weeknight meal.
Hot Dog, Spinach, and Cream Cheese Pasta--it sounds weird, but my family absolutely loves this simple dish
Enchilacos--a combination of enchiladas and tacos, the kids will like saying the name as much as they like eating this.
One-Pot Mac and Cheese--a go-to classic recipe for us for lunchtime. It tastes way better than the store-bought boxes, but is every bit as quick and easy.
Asian Chicken Stir-Fry with Quinoa--filled with veggies, quinoa, and chicken -- this healthy, but tasty dish has won over our entire family.
