15 Quick Weeknight Meals for Your Family

Fall is here and back to school is in full swing. My must have at this point in a list of quick weeknight meals that use ingredients I have on hand.

Our evenings are not overly busy (yeah, I am THAT mom who is super happy my kid is not into sports) but I know that for many of you the evenings are a drag race to bedtime. While we don’t have THAT issue, I am only cooking for Evan and I so I don’t want to make a big fancy dinner every night. Instead, I find myself making these easy, delicious, family-friendly quick weeknight meals over and over again.

Since I know you have busy evenings too, I thought you might be interested in these recipes. I promise that they are easy and use ingredients that are easy to find or may already be in your pantry.
