Meal suggestions for those staying in Condos/Homes

[TamaraQT]

I was going to post as "those that stay off-site", but I remembered that DVC resorts have kitchens too!! So for those who prepare some meals for their families, I would love to hear your recipes and suggestions. I have only stayed off-site and I like to make quick meals for my family to help keep costs down. My favorite standby is a couple of rotisserie chickens and a bagged salad. In my case, Walmart does the cooking for me I have considered taking my crock pot this trip since I really wont have anything to carryon except my purse. So if anyone has any recipe ideas and suggestions, I would love to hear them. Thanks In Advance!!!

We are DVC and have a few meals that we prepare in our villa. Mostly we bring stuff for breakfast and sandwiches, but we do have a few "cooked" meals.

Spaghetti - jarred sauce, box of noodles, loaf of french bread.
Quesadillas / burritoes - canned refried beans, shredded cheese, salsa, soft tortillas (can be used for wraps for "sandwiches")
Macaroni and tomato juice (family tradition - boil macaroni, drain it, add tomato juice and heat again)

We've also gotten salad makings and then picked up grilled chicken from counter service at our resort (or at a grocery, etc.). Instant rice, instant potatoes are also easy to make. Rice comes in such a variety now that you can pick up whatever flavors your family enjoys and bring them in your suitcase.

Of course there are always hot dogs, burgers, baked potatoes, etc.

We rent a beach house for two weeks every summer. Not exactly the same as a Disney condo...but some things may help.

Pasta w/ garlic shrimp and brocolli
beef & bean chilli w/chips and toppings
grilled chicken w/caesar salad
tacos
grilled veggie & chicken/beef kababs w/rice and salad
burgers, hotdogs, corn on the cob, pasta salad
sausage, peppers, onions on italian bread
salmon & veggie foil packets for grill w/ baked potato

I try to make things that
-only have a few ingredients..and the ingredients can be utilized for other meals
-the kids will eat
-can be helped out by grilling (the meats can marinate in a ziplock bag all day in the fridge) or cooking in one big pot or frying pan
