Delicious? Check. Nutritious? Check. Easy and quick? Check and check! This recipe checks all of the weekday (or weeknight) boxes. The biggest downside to it–because let’s be real, almost any recipe has a downside whether it’s a big one or a tiny one–is there is some prep work to do with the vegetables. However, it […]

Okay, this one was a GAME-CHANGER. Listen, my household does NOT like to get up early and do mornings but….#life, am I right? So I started looking for breakfast recipes that I could cook ahead of time so we could snag those few extra minutes of sleep a night. The biggest prepare-the-night-before hits so far […]

This meal is super easy and a crockpot is the only reasonable way to get it done. Literally, just dump all of the ingredients in and set it on low for 4-6 hours. I prefer to mix together the cream cheese and chicken soup when I put the ingredients into the crockpot but you do […]

This is a family favorite…unless you drown the rolls in the sauce which is unfortunately possible. Definitely use your best judgment there. However, drowning rolls aside, this is a relatively quick lunch to toss together and a great one when you’re having some family or friends over and don’t want to have to babysit the […]

An egg-cellent way to start the day, this bacon, egg, and spinach casserole is sure to be a hit. Fair warning, it does involve a little more work ahead of time (namely thawing the spinach and pre-cooking your bacon) but it’s worth it! This is a dish we usually like to reserve for mornings that […]

This is a household favorite–especially in the summertime. At least for adults and teenagers. The littles still look at anything green with a high amount of suspicion and a low desire to eat it unless it comes out of a box with a leprechaun on the front. Sugary cereal addictions aside, this is a great […]

The name really says it all. This pasta dish is a hit and brings home the warm, homey flavors of lasagna without the time (or monetary) investment. With just 4 ingredients, this is a simple, delicious, easy-to-cook meal that is handy for any night of the week (but especially the nights when you need something […]

Shepherds Pie is a favorite of ours at mealtime. It’s a flavorful way to add vegetables when vegetables are definitely not the favorite around here (my kids would LIVE on carbs alone if we let them….). This Shepherds Pie recipe is easy and easy to throw together on a weeknight. Partially because we use instant […]

Especially good on cold days, Taco Soup is a recipe that you can enjoy any time and it’s super easy to make! You can make it on the stove or you can toss the ingredients in the crockpot and let them cook during the day. Either way, it is a quick, relatively inexpensive meal that […]

We absolutely LOVE these chocolate chip mega muffins. They’re not only delicious and kid-approved, but they were a literal game changer when it came to getting my kids out the door on time for school. My kids (and me…definitely me too) love to get every single moment of sleep possible before getting up to start […]
