Introduction

Everyday life is so different compared to past generations — schedules are more hectic, family mealtimes are few and far between, extracurricular activities run late into the evening, and fast food has become the convenient meal cop-out of overbooked families.

Yet, there really is no reason for it — quick, easy, and most importantly healthy meals can be prepared in the same amount of time it takes to meander through the drive-thru. And eating together as a family can help you teach your children healthful eating habits — incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables, trying new food, and actually sitting at a table to eat!

Here are fifty delicious recipes with enough variety to please each member of your family. You’ll find classics like pizza, meatloaf, and (healthier) chicken tenders, as well as more adventurous fare — Sweet and Sour Shrimp, Balsamic Grilled Tuna, and Grilled Chicken and Mango Salad. Best of all, most recipes can be made in that hectic half-hour after work and practice and before homework and evening activities.

We haven’t forgotten the treats, though — there are recipes for weekend breakfasts, fun party treats, and special desserts perfect for sleepovers and birthday parties.

As a parent, you know that there are always food challenges, but by providing home-cooked, healthier meals, your children will learn the true meaning of moderation, self-control, and the proper place for food in our incredible world. Invite your children into the kitchen. Let them help you make dinner while you catch up on their day. And make the time to enjoy a good, old-fashioned family
