Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Quick and easy meals are a must in our house. I like things that require just a few dishes but still taste great and offer lots of flavor too. This lemon tuna pasta is so easy and uses just a few simple ingredients to create an easy dinner that is packed with flavor.

We eat pizza a lot in our house. It is a favorite of the littles {of course} and my husband doesn’t mind much either. We’ll do make your own pizza nights to add to the fun. On a recent “make your own” night, I came up with the idea to turn one of my husband’s favorite sandwiches into a pizza and created this reuben pizza recipe.

Leftover turkey is just one of those facts of the holidays. No matter how well anyone plans, there always seems to be more leftover turkey than anyone really wants (or at least that is how it goes in my house). This leftover turkey pie recipe is perfect for using up the turkey after everyone is tired of sandwiches!

Do you ever have one of those nights where you just have no idea what to make for dinner? Or you are way to busy to actually go in and cook something for dinner? Yeah, I have those all.the.time. This pasta casserole is the perfect freezer friendly meal for you to double one night when making dinner and store away for one of those impossible dinner nights. Or make it Sunday as part of meal prep and portion it out when you are too tired to cook.

The weather is starting to really get cold which means it is time to start breaking out the sweaters and ladling out bowls of delicious chili. Paleo chicken chili is hearty and full of flavor. It is the perfect thing to warm you up on a cold, winter day. It makes a bunch too so you can look forward to leftovers!

These weeks are flying by way too quickly. I feel like I see our grocery guy as much as I see my husband! I really don’t know where the time is going. I’m sure it is just because we are super busy that it seems to go by so quickly. Busy weeks are definitely when our easy dinner recipes meal plan is a major savior for me. I just buy my stuff and cook my way through the week. Easy peasy.

I am excited to work with Minute MaidĀ® to bring you these thoughts and recipe. While this post was sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Do you ever feel like you are always falling behind? You see that mom {or dad} who just seems to have it all together and feel just ever so slightly inadequate. As a working mom of two kids, I get that feeling all the time. I live in a place where most moms stay at home and seem to have endless amounts of time to plan playdates, volunteer at school, supply cupcakes for the bake sale and 1,000 other things. Of course, they also manage to have their hair and makeup perfect while doing it. Me, I’m happy to have lunches packed on time and a decent breakfast for the kids. While some moms are making homemade cinnamon rolls and pancakes every morning, we tend to be more cereal eaters in our house because who has the time. I know I probably won’t ever have time to make my kids pancakes on a busy weekday morning but I can make them pumpkin orange crescent rolls that will bake while I struggle with tangles in hair and forgotten paperwork in backpacks.

I might be slightly obsessed with take-out noodles. I am totally that person you see in the movies eating them straight out of the little white boxes straight from the refrigerator. I always get our place to add a little extra spice to mine and not a single noodle goes to waste. Of course, I save it for the weekends when I am not trying to eat most Paleo š In our efforts to make more home cooked meals, I started making spicy pan fried noodles at home.

School started today. I’m pretty sure all the moms in my neighbor let out a sigh of relief mixed with a twinge of stress. Sure, we get back on a regular schedule now but that schedule gets infinitely busier thanks to homework, after school activities and all the other stuff that comes along with school starting for the year. It makes the regular stuff like cooking dinner just a little bit more difficult. Thankfully, we can all embrace one pot meals like this paleo one pan Italian chicken to make dinner go a little smoother.

I am excited to share one of my favorite new recipes using MinuteĀ® Ready to Serve Rice. While this post is sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.
Have I told you yet that school starts here on Monday? Can you tell I’m a little stressed thinking about it. I’m looking over our calendar and I can feel at least 10 new gray hairs popping up. I’ve gotten used to a laid back schedule where dinner could take awhile to make and no one really cared. That all changes come Monday because we add in homework, gymnastics, dance and so much more into our evening schedule. Good thing I have items like MinuteĀ® Ready to Serve Rice to turn to so I can still create delicious dinners like a Thai peanut rice bowl in the limited amount of time I have.
