New Version of "The Casserole"

My mom used to make casseroles on "those" nights, did yours? Well tonight was one of "those" nights and my go to meal always is:
- quinoa
- veggies (tonight is red peppers and spinach)
- meat (although it is not needed, tonight I used ground turkey)
- seasonings (garlic, coconut oil, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper)
You really can use whatever you'd like!
WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO MEAL ON "THOSE" NIGHTS?
