In our house most nights my wife gets dinner ready. On occasions when she needs a break or has a business meeting or plans with girlfriends, I get our kids dinner.
I can’t claim to be a cook or great around the kitchen because I am not. But I can prepare several easy meals that my kids will eat and I can get ready quickly.
I have also learned 2 things. If I give my kids a salad and fruit with anything else, my wife will be happy with the effort and I know I am getting a fruit and veggie into them.
Keep the kids occupied while I get everything ready and on their plates. One way I keep them engaged is by playing 20 questions about Animals with them or giving them a coloring book and crayons.
My all time lunch or dinner staples are simple, no frills meals:
Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches
