Family Dinner Ideas

Meet my family friendly dinner ideas – these recipes are quick and easy to prepare (a lot are 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 plenty of simple, fuss-free pasta dishes, from creamy one-pot favourites like Creamy Sausage Pasta (less washing up, what a dream!), to reader-loved classics like Tomato and Basil pasta.

All recipes are tried and tested by my family and my readers – try some other favourties such as one-pot chicken recipes from my chicken collection – including 5 ⭐️ Easy Chicken Korma and Chicken Fajita Pasta – for those days you just need to come home to a ready-made dinner! I also have simple recipes made in 15 minutes or less, like Easy Beef Tacos, which are always a real hit.

Another fantastic family meal option for when you have a bit more time on your hands, are my slow cooker recipes.
