I create a meal plan at the beginning of the week and if I know a dinner will take longer to make than we have because of sport or other commitments I make what I can ahead of time. I am a firm believer in the home cooked meal, I haven’t ate at “McBurgerBell” in over 20 years! My kids get to go there when they stay with their grandma and I am fine with that, its only a couple of times a month.

I love that you use a meal plan.  Planning ahead and looking at what your week will bring is always the best way to stay on top of the almighty schedule!  Jeffrey shoot me an email with your full name and mailing address and we will get your prize right out!  Have a great week!

BBQ Chicken and Pineapple Pizzas + GIVEAWAY3 Easy Tips for getting dinner on the table fast:

  1. Keep bags of cooked meat, like ground beef or shredded chicken, premeasured in your freezer for quick quesadillas, soups, pizzas, or tacos.
  2. I always like to keep bagged salad in my crisper it’s prewashed and ready to go add a little cheese, some croutons, your favorite salad dressing and you’ve got some color in your diet.  Or use it to make a quick wrap: chicken, cheese, lettuce, ranch dressing, Voila!
  3. I always keep flour tortillas on hand.  I can quickly make my kids quesadillas, tacos, breakfast burritos,  a healthy wrap sandwich, or even pizza!  And if you have a night that is too busy to sit down a quesadilla, wrap, or burritos is easy to eat on the go.

    Keep it healthy by keeping it simple. Roasted chicken and veggies or soup filled with veggies.

  2. Sylvia says

    As a working mom, fast meals are always the case at our house. My tip would be to plan meals ahead of time and always have the essentials on hand like cheese, cut up fruits and veggies, defrosted chicken breasts, tortillas or naan, salads, pre-cooked rice, etc. This makes it easier and faster to get dinner on the table to a bunch of hungry kids/hubby!

  3. chellie says

    Sheila, this looks great! My best tip is the same as Sylvia’s, having a plan is key! When I’m feeling unmotivated in my planning I give each night a theme (pasta, mexican, sandwich night, etc). Then it’s easier to think of something to plan.

    P.S. We had cheese and crackers for dinner last night, thought of you!

  4. Jennifer says

    My crockpot is a lifesaver when life is busy. It also is great when everyone can’t eat at the same time.

  5. MomOfSons says

    I’ve never thought to use the tortillas as a pizza type crust, splendid idea! I love simple and few ingredient recipes, and always enjoy reading your posts/blogs! Thank you!

  6. Jessi says

    Planning ahead is the best thing I cam do for my family, and of course my crock pot is a lifesaver! I need at least one meal I don’t have to think about a week!

  7. Jodi says

    As usual, creative, healthy and fresh! Thank you for the crust idea as the base for this pizza!

  8. Kristy C says

    I try to use what is in season to its max! Whe are garden or the market has a plethora of one item I love to get creative and try different dishes. Thank you!

  9. Erika W. says

    My best tip is to not buy junk. If you have healthy items at home, you’re going to make healthy food. We love fruits and veggies so we always incorporate that into our meals.

  11. Nikki @Seeded at the Table says

    Wonderful recipe and tips!! I definitely always have flour tortillas on hand for quick sandwich wraps to pack in my kids’ lunches. We also keep cooked meat in the freezer, like you suggested. Great way to quicken up the dinner process! 🙂 (This pizza looks PHENOMENAL!)

  12. Kristen says

    I like to make a big pot of soup with lots of veggies…it’s so easy and everyone can just scoop out what they want and warm it up to eat anytime.

  14. HS says

    I do weekend freezer cooking for main ingredients, and add fresh vegetables and seafood for quick and easy weekday meals.

  21. Susan Christy says

    Luckily everyone loves salad so I it’s easy to add the veggies, meat, etc. for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner.

  26. Julie Wood says

    My best tip is Make it fun for kids to try new fruits and veggies! Let them pick out a new fruit or vegetable in the grocery store each week, and figure out together how to cook or prepare it in a healthy way. This makes being healthy easy!

  31. Jeffrey says

    I create a meal plan at the beginning of the week and if I know a dinner will take longer to make than we have because of sport or other commitments I make what I can ahead of time.

  37. Anne Pik says

    I keep bags of prewashed salad mix, lettuce, spinach, kale on hand to add fresh greens to each family meal. And using fresh or frozen ingredients to my home cooked meals is what I love to serve my family.

  40. Marilyn Martin says

    My best tip is cooking and freezing cube sized pieces of chicken and having them ready when needed for tacos, fajitas, soup etc.

  44. Kathy Faberge says

    Definitely keeping fresh veggies and fruits cut up and ready to use. It’s a great help when throwing dinner together fast.

  46. Christy says

    Thanks for this recipe inspiration. I made BBQ Chicken Pizza Quesadillas last night and they were a big hit at my house!!

    • Sheila says

      Yeh!! I’m so glad your family like them! Thanks for taking the time to stop by and let me know. XO, Sheila

  47. Birdiebee says

    I make ahead my meals (freezer meals) using healthy ingredients as well as lean meats then take my freezer meal out the night before to thaw. This saves so much time during the week. I also make slow cooker freezer meals.
