What are some of your favorite Week-Night dinners? I mean we all like pulled pork, brisket, etc. but sometimes we don't have 10-18 hours to commit to a long smoke.
What are some of your favorite shorter cooks??
I personally do a lot of steaks, chicken wings, and burgers for quick meals!
Something quick to cook up inside. White or brown rice topped with Beef Soboro (which can be made with pork or chicken ground also) If you need something healthy to go with it a cucumber salad is great.
Kind of liking Japanese/Asian lately so a hamburger steak with Ponzu sauce on it on top of cabbage and sprout with a side of rice. Maybe a Ramen soup or chow mein, and stir fry or fried rice?

Chicken thighs have been a go-to the last few months. They cook quick, are cheap, the kids eat them, and the leftovers can be used a ton of different ways. And they are fun to use to try different rubs and seasonings. At $0.99 per pound it is easy to stash a few packs in the freezer.
Cook up some rice or frozen potatoes, throw some vegetables on the plate and it is an easy, cheap meal.
Well, since every day is Saturday I no longer have "Weeknight" meals. However, for the middle Saturdays it's the usual grilled beef, chicken or seafood. My wife is still experiencing "Weeknight meals" so I try to take the time to make something nice. Chicken cacciatore over polenta last night that was purty dang, dang good. We have it pretty good, she still likes to work (she really does) and I like to take care of the home (I really do) (except for folding laundry). Thinking of something to grill on the SMG.....
tbob4 and Murdy my wife taught me how to fold a fitted sheet and I figured I reached the pinnacle of laundry folding. As Hans Gruber said in Diehard: "Alexander wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer"
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

Wings for sure plus the usual quick grill items. Some non-BBQ things we do regularly are chicken tikka masala, alfredo, parmesan, fajitas, beef tacos and pizza. I have 3 hungry boys so we try to eat the affordable things, it's not always steak & brisket but I'd be ok with that too.
A simple stir fry is always good. Either on the stove or the kettle works. Beef and/or chicken and/or shrimp with some veggies. Add a little teriyaki, soy sauce, and some chili bean paste and your good. Maybe some fish sauce if you want.
I am a big fan of this yogurt marinated chicken kabob recipe from Serious Eats. Basically make the marinade the night before, drop the chicken in before you head out in the morning and grill when you get home. https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/...bs-recipe.html
I like taco salad: lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, cheese, ground beef, Catalina fat free dressing, some Tabasco for spice. Mix all together and crush up some corn chips and stir it all together and enjoy. This is a party favorite and some of the kids request it for family parties. Only 2 of the grand-kids don't like it so we serve taco fixins and they are ALL happy.
