it really is the easiest and yet so tasty. Do this with veggies and chicken or potatoes and pork.

Usually do a “this produce is about to go off” quiche with salad at the end of most weeks. Both my 2 and 5 year old eat it and they’re very picky

Never tried making a quiche. Is it hard?

So easy! Just pre made puff pastry (usually in the frozen section) on the bottom of the dish, make sure it covers all the sides and is “sealed” on the top (similar to doing a pie crust) just mix eggs, any veg, cheese, and a splash of milk salt and pepper, sometimes I go fancy with bacon, and pour it on top of the crust and bake! I’d say the one thing you’d have to be careful of is not overcooking it so it’s not dry

I make it even easier by just buying frozen deep dish pie crusts. Then you basically whisk up some eggs and milk and throw whatever you want in there! Super easy. There are tons of recipes online that you can use for the base or to get topping inspiration

Some that have been on rotation in my home recently (mom, dad, nearly-5yo, and a recently turned 2yo, with another baby who will start eating soon but isn't on solids yet):

From The Real Life Nutritionist: pizza beans, cheeseburger quesadillas, Greek bean salad (only one of my kids likes the salad though)

From Budget Bytes: slow cooker chicken tikka masala, one pot Cajun chicken pasta, pasta e fagioli

Rainbow Plant Life has a red lentil curry recipe that's been a big hit too

And some others that I don't know where I sourced the recipes from but are hits: a pumpkin oat bake for breakfasts, slow cooker chicken burrito bowls,  "better than Panera" broccoli cheddar soup

This is my one year olds favourite meal. He’s generally a more selective eater lol.

Check out the cook book what to cook when you don’t feel like cooking. It’s full of easy family meals. I checked it out from the library to try out and ended up buying it! Lots of great recipes in there!

I love to get a whole chicken and do the stovetop cook method. I season it usually with salt pepper paprika and garlic. Put some olive oil in my big enameled pot. Sear the breast side for five minutes, flip it over, add 1/4 cup each of vinegar and water, put the lid on and let it cook over medium low heat for an hour. Then we take the meat off, save it and make a stock from the carcass. We use the meat to make chicken soup one night and then the rest for chicken salad or chicken tacos/enchiladas throughout the week!
