Making quick and easy dinners doesn’t mean you have to stick with just pre-packaged or frozen meals. In fact, there are tons of healthy and even gourmet meals you can make in a short time.
This list includes some of my favorites like pasta, stir fry, and of course, some healthy dishes were thrown into the list. That makes it easier for me to give my family a warm meal without spending hours in the kitchen.
I recommend getting yourself a great dry erase calendar or a traditional menu planner to help keep on top of meal planning each week.
