Not only this, but we have also included how you can incorporate our ready-made meal delivery service into your weekly dinner schedule.
Family Friendly Dinner Ideas
The first hurdle to jump when it comes to planning easy weeknight dinners is to choose a recipe that the whole family is going to enjoy. We know this isn’t always an easy task when you live in a house with small children or fussy eaters, as we understand their tastes can easily change from one day to the next. However, the best advice we can give you is to choose crowd pleasers that are easy to make, reheat and are also usually a hit with the family. Some examples of easy weeknight dinners for the family include spaghetti bolognese, lasagne or curry, as they are all relatively affordable and easy to prepare, while also being good options to reheat for members of the family who aren’t home in time to eat lunch or dinner together.At Youfoodz, we completely take away the time it takes to prepare ingredients with our easy, pre-made meal delivery service. Our menu changes weekly, but often contains customer favourites like the aforementioned spaghetti bolognese. and lasagne., alongside a delicious katsu curry. Not only do our meal plans involve home-cooked family favourites, but you can also stock up on a range of different meals to suit your families different tastes and nutritional needs, so nobody will feel left out!
Have stress-free weeknights with the help of Youfoodz
Meal-prepping ahead of time can definitely take the stress out of weeknight dinners. This can be done on a Sunday night so you’re ready for the week ahead. There is a lot of research on the benefits of meal-prepping and not only is it designed to lower stress levels,it has also been proven to increase your intake of more nutritionally dense foods such as fruits and vegetables.Meal-prepping is a great hack when planning easy weeknight dinners for the family as it allows you to put more thought into what you are eating. For example, it encourages you to make a conscious effort to add more vegetables into a usual favourite meal, or try out new recipes that your kids will enjoy.
