Samsung and Twitter Moms have teamed up together to ask the question. What are your 3 tips for getting dinner ready in a flash? Here our mine!
- I buy the take and bake pizzas sometimes. Just stick it in the oven and you are ready to go. I can then rearrange the toppings a bit before baking it to suit everyone's needs.
- I use a slow cooker a lot it is a great way to have a quick dinner. Just start it in the morning then by dinner time you are ready to go! You can find lots of great recipes online.
- Have a weekly menu plan, make sure to include simple meals like spaghetti, hamburger helper, manwich and sub cold cut sandwiches. I also look for quick fix recipes that our 30 mins or less.

I buy a lot of frozen meals. I try not to use them too much, but glad to have them in a pinch. Trader Joe's has some good pasta and chicken dishes. I agree with the crock pot. Especially with my oldest in school, it is (almost) always possible to put something together in the morning that will be ready for dinner time.
One of our favorite quick family meals is grilled cheese and tomato soup. It's always a family pleaser and is fairly quick to make. It's easy to add healthy sides to it like apples or bananas.
We fall back on easy meals grilled cheese, mashed potatoes topped with a can of chili topped with corn. Great tips though. I always try to plan a weekly menu, and even by the food for it, but as the week goes by not everything gets made.
I like your blog. Found you on Mom Bloggers Follower Group. I'm now following and looking forward to reading more.
I love my Crock Pot too. It's so handy on busy days.
I also like the "make-ahead-and-freeze" method. The preparing of meals takes awhile, but it is so nice to have a stash of meals waiting in the freezer. :)
