Quick & Easy Noodles and Garlic Bread

When starting with no-boil noodles, Classic Lasagna with Meat Sauce is a snap for family night and always a popular choice. You can also make this lasagna ahead and simply pop it in the oven for one hour on Sunday night while you enjoy games or a movie with the family. For a tasty side, watch this video for how to make Garlic Bread. Shake and Make Ice Cream is a fun dessert to prepare with kids!

A homemade sauce brings a personal touch to a classic family meal of Spaghetti and Meatballs. Sop up all that delicious sauce with some Toasted Garlic Bread and serve with Grape and Feta Salad for an interesting and refreshing twist. For dessert, keep it simple with Chocolate Covered Banana Pops from the freezer.

Quick & Easy Crockpot Convenience

Utilize your crockpot to have Brown Rice and Chicken ready when you walk in the door. Since you're saving time on dinner, you can take advantage of the seasonal produce, and make some Garlic-Sautéed Artichokes that the family will go nuts for. Finish up with a Cherry Chocolate Cake that's so easy to make!

Place Maple Mustard Country Style Ribs in the slow-cooker in the morning and your family can enjoy the smell all day before devouring them for dinner. Serve with simple Baked French Fries or, for a little something different, try Sweet Potato Fries. For a lighter side to round out a comfort food meal, try Summer Sweet Corn Salad.

Quick & Easy Dinners with Kid-Friendly Veggies

Keep dinner simple with an easy pasta dish like Veggie Stuffed Shells. Serve it with a big Caesar Salad and you'll have a filling meal with lots of greens. Take advantage of the summer peaches (or canned) and make a Fresh Peach Crisp for dessert.

Having trouble getting the kids to eat their vegetables? Trick ‘em with a rich, delicious batch of Family-Style Mac n’ Cheese. On the side, consider some yummy—but healthy!—Guiltless Mashed Potatoes, or Low Calorie KFC Cole Slaw. Your kids will be happy, and you’ll get your servings of veggies, too!

Quick & Easy Taco Night Turn your family night into a taco themed night. Who in your family can turn down a delicious Taco Pot Pie with some crunchy Potato Tacos on the side? For dessert keep up the Mexican food theme and serve everyone a big bowl of Fried Ice Cream.

Quick & Easy Omega-3 Meal

Salmon Patties are always a bonding favorite and a great food to add to any menu. Serve them up with a side of Au Gratin Peas and you’ve got a combination from heaven! Don’t forget the dessert on family night either! Try Strawberry Surprises for a great kick off to the week ahead!
