Ah, the weekend.
Time to put your feet up, relax ... and figure out what the heck you're going to make for dinner every night next week. Oh, and don't forget to account for your busy schedule, your kid's extremely particular palette, and the fact that you probably want to serve something at least somewhat healthy.
NBD, right? Well, actually, it kind of is NBD because once again we did the hard work for you by poring over recipes to come up with a meal plan that's fun and — this is the keyword — feasible.
Below are six kid-friendly dinner recipes that parents will also enjoy eating, are fairly healthy, and are quick and easy to make.
Happy cooking!
Sunday: Salmon in the slow cooker
Not only is this recipe ridiculously easy to make, but the salmon is so flavourful and moist, it's the only way you'll ever want to cook fish from now on. Make some rice and veggies on the side, and you have a delightful Sunday dinner.
