Here are some ideas to help you whip up something REALLY EASY on Easy Day. They fit into four categories: Breakfast for Dinner, Frozen Entrees, Kids Help Cook and Sandwich Night.
Frozen Entrees
Rules of thumb for serving frozen entrees:
-
Always serve with a vegetable or fruit salad.
-
Even a small portion is likely to have a lot of sodium so be aware of portion sizes. We’ve chosen ones that have more moderate amounts of sodium than standard frozen entrees.
-
Supplement with a whole-grain bread or baguette to add calories to frozen meals for hungrier eaters.
Frozen entrée suggestions:
Stouffer’s Grandma’s Chicken & Vegetable Rice Bake, family size
Stouffer’s Chicken Enchiladas with Cheese Sauce & Rice
Stouffer’s Meatloaf in Gravy
Jennie-O Frozen Turkey Meatballs (make a good meatball sandwich)
Rosetto Cheese Ravioli
Amy’s Kitchen Black Bean and Cheese Burritos (pair with a good salsa)
Amy’s Kitchen Texas Veggie Burger (awesome on a whole grain bun)
Healthier Frozen Pizza Choices:
DiGiorno Harvest Wheat Thin Crispy Crust Supreme Pizza
Healthy Choice Cheese or Supreme French Bread Pizza
Kashi Five Cheese Tomato or Mediterranean Pizza
Amy’s Pesto or Mushroom and Olive Pizza
Breakfast for Dinner
We have some recipes in our Hate to Cook section for pancakes, french toast and omelets, but breakfast for dinner can be almost anything. I like to make Egg, Ham, Cheese and English Muffin sandwiches. Serve a fruit salad on the side and you have a quick, nutritious dinner. Turkey sausage, cheese, red pepper and eggs also make a great scramble and a filling dinner. Serve the scramble with wheat toast and orange juice to round out the meal.
Kids Cook
There are many kid’s cookbooks available (check out this link for some good cookbooks) and if you think simply, you can get the kids to do the majority of the food prep. Bagel pizzas are a great entree for kids to prepare. We also love to make pigs in a blanket as a family.
Sandwich Night
In a hurry and running from practice to practice? Just toss the bread, lunch-meat, condiments and sandwich veggies out on the counter with a bag of tortilla chips (black bean or blue corn are healthier) and call it a night. You can still sit together as a family and enjoy your sandwiches.

Man, my grandmother was Italian and she made the most delicious meatballs I ever tasted, like you wouldnt believe. Sadly, she didnt leave a recipe for us so I’ve been trying to figure it out by myself… slowly working my through the meatball recipes here, I still cant figure out what her secret ingredient was though!!!
