At top: Coconut Chicken Tenders at Dinner at the Zoo; Black Bean Nachos at iFoodreal
Lasagna is always seems to be a hit with the kids, so we're adding this Spinach and Beef Lasagna at Girl with the Iron Cast to our rotation this week. On a busy weeknight, this is great because you can make it ahead of time and let it rest until it's time to cook.
The ultimate kid-friendly meal: chicken tenders! We're excited to try this Coconut Chicken Tenders recipe at Dinner at the Zoo. It's really not too hard to fry them yourself, and so much better than the kind you'll get in a bag at the supermarket.
These Pulled Pork Taquitos at Buns in my Oven are a treat -- not exactly low-cal or healthy, but they're a tasty splurge to add to our meal plan every once in a while. Bonus: they're easy to make and our kids love them, so we say that's worth it.
Another great meal for a busy week night is this Easy Crockpot Meatloaf at Family Fresh Meals. This is another great meal to prepare ahead of time, then let it simmer all day while you're working or running errands and it will be ready by dinnertime.
For a meat-free meal this week, try these Black Bean Nachos at iFoodreal. You can cover a whole sheet pan with your favorite toppings, then let the kids dig in! Perfect for family game night.
Wow, we're kind of drooling over these Triple Layer Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies at Halfbaked Harvest. Chewy brownies, creamy peanut butter, and a crispy chocolate layer on top. Just be careful you don't eat the whole pan.
