Easy Family Dinners That Everyone Will Love

Family meals are a wonderful chance to connect and to model healthy eating for children. With a little planning, nourishing dinners can be quick and enjoyable for everyone.

Simple dinner ideas

• Build-your-own bowls with grains, vegetables and a choice of protein.
• Sheet pan dinners with chicken or fish and roasted vegetables.
• Vegetable-packed pasta with a tomato sauce and a side salad.
• Homemade wraps filled with beans, salad and yogurt sauce.

Let children help wash, stir or serve. They are more likely to try foods they helped prepare.

Keep it relaxed

Turn off screens, share stories from the day and enjoy eating together without rushing.

Plan ahead

Choose a few dinners for the week and shop with a list to save time and reduce waste.
