Family dinner ideas

[buma]

I am sick to death of eating the same dinners.

Could you give me some healthy (ish) family meals please?

Thank you!

Some of our favorites:

fish tacos, I usually have salmon but kids like fish fingers. We have sour cream, avocado, lettuce, spring onion and a chilli coriander sauce my dh makes (kids don’t eat that)

carbonara -traditional no cream version which is less heavy

steak or sliced pork fillet with chimchurri, green beans and roast potato cubes

crispy chicken thighs, homemade coleslaw, corn on the cob and fries

chinese beef stew (bbc good food)

Spanish poor man’s potatoes with any meat and a sauce

sherry chicken, a Spanish stew.

loving lots of the other ideas, it can get repetitive and hard to find things to please everyone.

We added this to our rotation recently. It’s delicious and really quick. https://www.recipetineats.com/stir-fried-green-beans-with-pork/#wprm-recipe-container-26438
