I like knowing what we're having for dinner each week, so usually on the weekend before I'll plan out recipes and go to the farmers market to get all our meats and whatever veggies they have, and then I do Whole Foods (doorstep delivery is so nice!!) or Sprouts for the rest. This week all the meals were 20 minutes of prep or less. Everyone eats the same meal for dinner and we don't do snacks after they wake up from their nap so they're ready to eat by the time the food is ready. The other day they had pumpkin spice popcorn with me while I was making dinner (it's sooo good!) and that ruined their appetite a bit. But even when they're not hungry at dinner we still all sit together and pray to thank God for our meal, and they know we can warm it up later if they're not hungry for it right now. And that’s what they did on popcorn night. Either way we're all eating the same thing and I think that's why my kids are pretty adventurous eaters! I'll usually double a recipe depending on how big the serving size is and eat the leftovers for lunch the next day.
5 weeknight dinners I'd make again (and one I'd do differently)
Rating all the dinners I made last week, all 20 min of prep or less
