I was recently chatting with some friends about home-run dinners that we make for our families. You know, the ones your kids beg for you to make? We all need more of those in our dinner rotation, so I wanted to share my top 5. Each of these recipes are 1) delicious 2) easy to make and 3) actually enjoyed by my 4 small children. The trifecta of recipe success, if you ask me.

So, if you’re in a dinner rut or just looking for a few more meals your kids will actually eat, try adding these recipes in your next dinner rotation!

Street Corn Taco Bowls – This recipe is so simple, but the addition of sweet potato is a GAME-CHANGER. The street corn salsa is low maintanenance but adds that extra oomph of flavor, and the whole recipe is so easy to tailor to your kid’s needs. We’re big fans of Siete’s mild taco spice for the flavor and fact that it’s guaranteed gluten free. Consider your taco Tuesday plan, made!

Chinese Chili Chicken – This recipe tastes like takeout, is made in literally 30 minutes, and is *also* gluten free. My kids prefer their chicken without the sauce so I put a few pieces aside for them before adding the sauce. It’s a weekly staple in our house.

Spiced Sheet Pan Chicken – A one sheet-pan wonder. The sauce is what makes it! Throw on some chicken thighs, veggies you like and let it roast while you play with the kids or do other things! Again, easy, yummy, and kid-approved.

Spaghetti Bolognese – I know, super simple, and you likely have your own recipe for this which is great. But have you ever tried adding brown sugar to your sauce? The secret ingredient that brings any marinara to the next level!

Shepherd’s Pie – another one pot wonder that is easier than you might think. So delicious and makes leftovers! My kids love it and it has all the protein, veggies and carbs a meal needs.
