72. Chicken Wings

Chicken wings are bite size fun for kids. We don't have them often but on special occasions. The kids love them.
Here is our favorite oriental chicken wing recipe.

71. Grilled Hamburger

Forget getting your hamburger from a drive through. It is so much better homemade and less fat!

Lean ground beef
Salt and pepper
Season hamburger and form into patties. Grill and serve with whole wheat buns.

If you’d like a little more seasoning add dash of Worcestershire sauce and 1-2 Tablespoons dry onion soup mix.

70. Chicken Enchiladas

These are best with flour tortillas at least we think so but you can try corn tortillas if your family likes them.
Chicken Enchiladas Recipe I also make an extra and freeze it for another night.

69. Breaded Pork Chops

This recipe makes moist pork chops you will love. The key to moist pork chops is using milk or buttermilk when you are breading it. Hope you love it as much as we do!

68. Grilled Chicken

Sometimes I forget simple meals are just as good as complex.
Grill chicken or chicken cubes in a skillet or George Foremon and serve with vegetables.

Roasted Broccoli
We roasted broccoli in this picture to go with the chicken. You cut your broccoli and place on a cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to evenly coat. Cook for 10-15 minutes on 450 degrees. Stir half way through.

67. Stir Fry

Stir fry is a great recipe that you can change easily. Try chicken, pork, steak or no meat. Serve with whatever vegetables you like or have on hand.

66. Fettuccine Alfredo

I love Alfredo sauce whether it is the really great recipe with butter and cream or this healthier version. It is a favorite in our house. It is best served immediately and doesn't make the best leftovers.

65. Pasta Fagioli Soup

Have you ever craved the soup from Olive Garden that looks like this? It is super easy to make and very good. My kids love it because there are noodles in it and they love noodles. I find if I use one type of bean instead of different kinds they seem to like it better for whatever reason!

64. Chicken Pea Casserole

Its a 5 star meal at our house.

61. Breakfast Casserole

We like to have breakfast for dinner a few times a month. This is an easy one and is great served with a fruit smoothie or fruit salad.
Breakfast Egg Casserole

It takes about 45 minutes to bake so start early enough.

60. Chicken Corn Chowder

This recipe has very little to it and my kids love it.
Chicken Corn Chowder- it is great with leftover chicken but often times I make it with chicken breasts. This time I found baby potatoes and used those whole instead of diced potatoes. I thought it would add a little more fun to the dinner.

59. Beef Roast

I make a homemade barbecue sauce to go with a simple beef roast. You can stir it in and make barbecue beef sandwiches or leave the sauce on the side for dipping. Super yummy!

58. Hamburger Vegetable Cabbage Soup

Okay, so you are probably thinking cabbage soup no way kids will like this! It is full of vegetables but I tell my kids its like a treasure hunt because the soup is full of so many different things you get to dig through and find buried treasure. Treasure being the beef or vegetables they really like. There is also a vegetable or two in the soup that kids will avoid but if they are eating most all of the rest of the vegetables I let it slide this once.
Hamburger Vegetable Soup

I made the mistake of adding more than 1/4 Cup rice, I figured I'll just add all the rice I have left in the cupboard. Well it took over the whole soup and definitely didn't work out well. My husband jokingly said it was like Spanish rice. So really only put in what it calls for or you can even leave it out and it won't be missed.

57. Stroganoff

You can use a less expensive piece of steak for this recipe and cook it in the crockpot. Super yummy and a kid favorite served with noodles.

56. Quesadillas

Quesdillas are quick and easy for lunch or dinner. Not to mention you can do a lot of different fillings.

54. Beef Enchiladas

This recipe makes a large batch so it is perfect for making extra for the freezer. You can take out the rice if you'd like add a different type of beans or even use ground chicken or turkey in place of the beef. Create it how your family likes it.
Here is our
Beef and Bean Enchiladas recipe.

53. Kung Pao Chicken

Our family loves Chinese food. Remember the egg drop soup and fried rice?

This is another favorite Chinese recipe for Kung Pao Chicken. It really is easier than you would think and takes a few steps of putting it together. I'll take you throw the recipe step by step with pictures.

52. Different types of pizza

The kids favorite pizza is pepperoni however occasionally we do something different the kids still like but not as much as pepperoni.
You can find the recipe for homemade pizza crust here.

Hawaiian Pizza
Spread pizza sauce over pizza crust, sprinkle with cheese and top with chopped pineapple and chopped ham. Bake.




Alfredo Pizza
Here is the recipe for Alfredo sauce. Spread sauce over the crust, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, then top with chopped chicken and cooked chopped broccoli. Bake.

51. Stuffed Peppers

I add a lot of hidden vegetables pureed in the rice hamburger mixture that I stuff the peppers with. The kids love the meat mixture the pepper not as much however since they are getting a lot of nutrition inside this is one case I figure it is okay not to eat the pepper as long as they try it.
We like to drizzle sour cream or plain yogurt on the top of our stuffed peppers.

50. Taco Soup

This is an easy taco chili recipe. It can be cooked in the crock pot or put together in 30 minutes or less on the stove top.

You can easily boost the nutrition in this soup by adding pureed vegetables. Need some help knowing how to do this? Try our hidden vegetable recipes page.

49. Waffle Night

Make it a waffle night with homemade whole wheat waffles, fresh fruit, whip cream, jam or/and bacon or ham on the side.

This time I pureed 2 small zucchini in the blender and added it to the waffle batter.

48. Ham Loaf

A little twist on meatloaf. In this recipe you use ground pork or sausage and chopped ham instead of hamburger. I like to make this recipe after having a traditional ham such as a holiday dinner. I chop the leftover ham in the blender or food chopper and it works great in this recipe. It freezes well.
Ham Loaf Recipe

Try it with a potato casserole.

47. Potato Casserole

I like to add chopped ham to this potato casserole recipe. It is a lot different then the potato casserole using cream soup although we have that version on the recipe page also.
Either way I love this recipe as well as my family.

46. Barbecue Pork Chops

This recipe is simple enough my son put it together and poured it in the crock pot.
This barbecue sauce works well with chicken or roast if you'd rather not use pork.

44. Cream Potato Soup

This is a quick and easy soup recipe my family enjoys.

Cream of Potato Soup.

My kids prefer having their soup chunky and not a cream soup. So I take half of the soup and set it aside. Then I puree the other half of the soup in the blender and my husband and I have pureed soup.
Everyone's happy and full of healthy soup.
