Dinner recipes for the family
- When you
cook almost on a daily basis, cooking
can become monotonous and uninspiring.
Easy dinner ideas for the family may just be the thing that mom and dad need to
avoid fast foods and takeout.
For the parent who works outside the home - the last thing she/he needs is to
spend the whole evening in the kitchen while missing out on time with the family.
I spend most of my day homeschooling my kids, working on my blogs, and some other homemaking activities. Strangely though,
cooking is never part of those activities. I tend to start
stressing about the day's dinner in the late afternoon.
To
make my life easier, I am on the lookout for dinner recipes for the family. I prefer the
easy to cook, quick recipes. Another Youtuber mom challenged me to
be more organized so that I can be able to plan my meals at least, a week in advance.
Rounding up these easy dinner recipes - and
purchasing similar recipe books will help me do just that. These should help me accumulate more "me time" as well. I can do with the balance.
Cookbooks with dinner recipes for the family
Cookbooks are organized, and I wouldn't need to go online to access them. They'll also
come handy on the days when I'd rather have my teen son cook for us. These also include easy dinner ideas for kids
Easy dinner recipes for families
My
favorite dinner recipes for the family are easy to make, mainly one-pot meals and can be adapted to healthier options. I plan to make these dishes and share with you as I go along. This is also a growing list that I intend to expand as I experiment with various dinner recipes for the family.
- One-pan cheesy broccoli bake from The Girl Who Ate Everything
- Loaded baked potato & chicken casserole from Food.com
- One pot garlic butter chicken from Yummy Healthy Easy
- Easy oven baked chicken fajitas from Tip Buzz
- Garlic chicken stir-fry from Dinner At The Zoo
Parmesan baked fish does not require much in terms of ingredients and takes no more than 20-30 minutes to prepare. Visit the link to try it out. My family loves this one!
Baked chicken tenders are easy to make, and can be served with rice, pasta, veggies or salads. It all depends on your family's dietary preferences.
I love stir-fry's, whether beef, chicken, or sea-food based. Add this quick and easy meal to you your dinner ideas and stress less about, "what's for dinner?"
These barbecue chicken wraps are satiating and can be a midweek dinner meal.
Dinner ideas are incomplete without chicken salad, starting with this raspberry chicken salad that uses 5 ingredients only. An optional salad dressing recipe is included, if you do not have a preference.
I'm definitely trying no. 1 on the above list. With kids who hate veggies, and myself being on a low carb lifestyle, I can twist this to suit everyone in the house.
I hope you will enjoy these "short-cut" delicacies :-). If you need to return to this list of dinner recipes, please do not hesitate to
