Where does the time go? Work is suddenly picking up and your daughter has soccer practice and your son has auditions for the school play. The school bake sale is coming up and you need three dozen cupcakes and it’s time to get an oil change for the car. Life sneaks up on you sometimes and it can seem impossible to figure out what to make for dinner every night!

Luckily we’ve gathered up a few quick dinner tips that can help you save time during your busy week. Check out some of our easy (and delicious!) ideas below:

Plan out your dishes early

Something as simple as planning your meals before the week starts can save you a ton of time. This makes grocery shopping easier also as you’ll know what exactly you need to pick up for each dish!

Meal prep on Sundays

Soups or pasta dishes …. Some basic recipes can be made ahead of time and tossed in the freezer. Then when it’s time to eat, you just reheat. This is great to do while the kids are busy or out of the house – or maybe during nap time!

Break out the Crock-Pot or Instant Pot

Some of the simplest dishes can be made with a Crock-Pot or Instant Pot! Check out our Pinterest or Instagram to find some mouthwatering recipes and quick dinner ideas. Throw ingredients into the Crock-Pot the night before and let it simmer all day. Or save time and have your dish ready in (almost) an instant with an Instant Pot!
