Today I have a few recipes of easy-to-make, delicious meals that are perfect for those evenings when time is short and hunger is high. Whether you’re cooking for one or a family, these meals are designed to be fuss-free, nutritious, and satisfying. Let’s dive into some delicious and simple weeknight dinner ideas from DealDash that your whole family will adore.
Family Fun Recipe #1 – Quick and Easy Taco Salad
Ingredients:
- Ground turkey
- Taco seasoning
- Lettuce
- Cherry tomatoes
- Shredded cheese
- Sour cream
- Salsa
- Tortilla chips (optional, leave out if you’re calorie-conscious)
Instructions:
- Cook the ground turkey in a pan, drain, and add taco seasoning.
- Chop the lettuce and halve the cherry tomatoes.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked meat, lettuce, tomatoes, and shredded cheese.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and a handful of crushed tortilla chips.
This recipe is a great alternative to tacos for a customary “Taco Tuesday” dinner. It’s a little bit healthier, and offers a little variety if your kids still want tacos but you want something that’s a little more calorie-conscious.
Family Fun Recipe #2 – One-Pot Creamy Pasta
Ingredients:
- Your favorite pasta
- Chicken broth
- Heavy cream
- Frozen peas
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper
Instructions:
- In a large pot, combine pasta, chicken broth, and minced garlic. Cook until pasta is al dente.
- Stir in heavy cream and frozen peas. Cook until the peas are warm.
- Add grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste.
This is a great recipe if you are having a few extra guests over for a meal. If your child brought home a friend for dinner, or if your sister popped by for a visit, simply add more pasta and peas. It’s great to have these ingredients on hand in case you have an unexpected guest.
Family Fun Recipe # 3 – Veggie-Packed Stir Fry
Ingredients:
- Your choice of vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, baby corn, etc)
- Cubed chicken or tofu
- Soy sauce
- Honey
- Garlic, minced
- Olive oil
Instructions:
- In a pan, cook the chicken or tofu in olive oil until browned.
- Add the chopped vegetables and cook until they’re tender but still crisp.
