20 Minute Meals For Busy Families
While I am lucky enough to work from home, that doesn’t mean I enjoy slaving over the stove all day to prepare dinner. I am a huge fan of 20 minute meals and my crock pot. Some of our best dinners happen to be meals I can make in under 30 minutes.
Healthy, hearty meals don’t have to take hours to cook. Whether you work long hours or have a million and one after school activities to take your kids to, you can serve up your family some downright delicious meals in a snap.
There are so many recipes for 20 minute meals out there and I have rounded up 11 of our favourites for you to try. My kids love the Easy & Kid-Friendly Mozzarella Pepperoni Croissants! If you are looking for a light and deliciously healthy meal, I suggest trying the Kale & Pasta. And I can’t forget the One Pan Sriracha Honey Shrimp & Asparagus, it is perfect for the nicer weather that is on its way!
