Listen I actually enjoy cooking. I also enjoy cooking for my husband and kids and making them feel full and happy. And I am a fairly decent cook. What makes me bonkers is the 7 days a week, foreseeable future of cooking. Must like emptying the dishwasher, it’s the repetitive mature of cook, clean, repeat that makes me nuts!
Along the way of raising a family I’ve come up with my go-to 15 minute dinner ideas for what to make when the going gets, well, going.
When I’m short on time, but the kids have decided that cereal is not a viable option that night (again!) then I go to these recipes.
Check back to this blog option (and sign up for my weekly newsletter to get them sent to your inbox weekly!) because I’ll be adding to the list as I adapt more 15 minute dinner ideas to share!
Parchment Salmon
This is an all-time favorite recipe for our family. We love it because it’s healthy, easy to prep and you can make it early in the day and pop in the oven. You can easily riff on the recipe by changing the herbs or adding in different vegetables like asparagus, tomatoes or sweet potatoes.
Easy Enchiladas
When I have absolutely nothing to make for dinner, I make this. To make life easy, I always have a bag of frozen chopped onions in the freezer and a jar of salsa verde. I keep ground beef in the freezer too, and defrost in in hot water for a few hours. My family loves it, and I love it because of how quick it is to make, and how you don’t get a ton of dishes dirty!
