Family Dinner Ideas

Meet my family friendly dinner ideas – these recipes are quick and easy to prepare (mostly under 30 minutes) so perfect on nights when you are juggling activities.

They are also balanced meals so you can feel you are serving up something healthy and delicious to your family without any parental guilt!

My recommended family meals include simple one pot pasta dishes like my Creamy Sausage Pasta (less washing up, what a dream!), slow cooker recipes  including my 5 ⭐️ Easy Chicken Korma for those days you just need to come home to a ready made dinner and simple recipes made in 15 minutes or less – these Easy Beef Tacos are a real hit.

All recipes are tried and tested by my family and my readers so you can guarantee a happy, satisfied family, with clean plates all round.
