These easy family meal ideas have it all – fresh ingredients, short cut ingredients and loads of “gather around the table” flavor. A simple pepper crusted pork tenderloin, creamy stovetop mac & cheese with broccoli and a white lasagna casserole using layered raviolis make sure everyone shows up for dinner time.

A collage of fresh family recipes that make great meals to make this week.

Everybody’s schedules have picked up. Ball practice, band practice, early morning carpool lines, we are all back at it once again! And now that life is busy, it’s even more important to make time for the family dinner table. A perfectly delicious meal is the best place to catch up on all the day’s best moments, work through any disappointments and load up on plenty love and confidence for the next day.

This Week’s Secret To Success

  • This week’s recipes are the perfect balance of short cut recipes and simple comfort food.
  • Look for short cut ingredients like:
    • frozen ravioli,
    • pre- cooked sausage crumbles,
    • refrigerated French bread dough
    • and frozen pancakes to make this week’s recipes quick and convenient.
  • But get ready for plenty of fresh ingredients too! We’ll amp up the flavor and freshness with:
    • tomatoes,
    • cucumbers,
    • strawberries
    • and plenty of broccoli.
  • Enjoy back-to-school classics like the BEST oatmeal raisin cookies ever, fluffy peanut butter fruit dip and an overnight chocolate chip pancake casserole even if you don’t have kids who are going back to school.
