An idea for making meal planning easier is made a list of quick and easy breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Sometimes it’s 5:00 PM and I’m racking my brain, trying to come up with something to make. Now I can go to my list for some quick and easy ideas that I might not otherwise be thinking of. For example, on my dinner list are the following, as well as many others:
Tomato soup & grilled cheese
Breakfast for dinner (i.e., eggs and waffles; french toast and fruit)
BLTs
Easy chicken parmesan (breaded chicken patty, topped w/ prepared spaghetti sauce and
shredded mozzarella cheese)
Tuna melt
Egg in a hole (Butter both sides of a piece of bread. Use a small cup to make a hole in the center of the bread. Let your child eat his/her “hole” - quite possibly my kids’ favorite part! Put the bread in a hot frying pan. Crack an egg into the hole. Pierce the yoke. Let start to set up. Flip. Done! Mine like it served with ketchup, even though they’d never otherwise eat ketchup on eggs!)
Having this list helps me to easily come up with something quick to make that I might have otherwise forgotten about. Happy dinners to all!
