Need a few quick dinner recipes that your family will enjoy? I thought you might! Look, this was going to be a top ten quick and easy dinner post, but then I made it into something a lot more…Here’s the thing, I’m tired of hearing my kids complain about Taco Tuesday and Spaghetti Wednesday, and oh let’s just be real here-cereal has become one of our dinner staples. I’m not proud of that. I don’t like the person I become when my family asks me what’s for dinner and I draw a big fat blank! See, I’m not that great in the kitchen. (I’m an awful cook. Just. Terrible.) But my family has to eat and I’m tired of serving Frosted Flakes. So I searched for the best easy, healthy, and quick dinner ideas and found these awesome recipes.
Some of you will be happy to know that I’ve included the recipes for the Original Crockpot Fiesta Chicken & that amazing Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Shrimp!

I also searched for personal chef, but that’s just not in the budget right now!

You’ll notice a theme throughout my list. One Pot or Crockpot/Instant Pot.

The crockpot is my jam.

Well, it used to be until I burned the There’s No Way You Can Mess It Up Candy in it. Now I’m rocking this Instant Pot and it’s so fabulous it makes me feel like a young Martha Stewart.

Whether you’re looking for healthy one pot meals or yummy crockpotInstant Pot dinners, you’ll find recipes for the whole family on this list! I promise!
