7 Simple Meals Any Parent can Make Fast
If you’re running out of dinner ideas or tired of trying to cater to everyone’s tastes, try these ideas
Whether it’s the exhaustion of trying to use what you have on hand to avoid a trip to the store, or listening to all the demands for what dinner should or should not have to make little mouths happy, there comes a point where making dinner starts to feel like an exercise in futility.
You can’t make everyone happy with just one meal… or can you?
As a single mom, I learned quickly that if I didn’t want to spend all night in the kitchen, I needed to make sure two out of every three things for dinner were things my kids would eat without complaint. But after you’ve had French fries and chicken nuggets for the fourth night in a row, you’d kill your own mother for a salad or at least a baked potato, right?
I’ve got seven simple dinner ideas that will allow you to cook just one meal and still make the home crowd happy. They’re all “bar” meals so everyone gets to have exactly what they want. Give these meals a shot!
