Multiples in the Kitchen: Quick Meal

It is no secret that we are busy people. By definition, parent’s of multiples have a lot of their plates. The day to day race of life is exhausting especially with multiple young children running around. Some days, it is all I can do to remain standing by the time the end of the day rolls around.
It is on these days that making dinner is the last thing that I want to do. It is so much easier to just pick up the phone and order a pizza or get fast food for the kids. But this really is not the healthiest of options or the cheapest. No matter how tired I am, it really is best for my family and our pocket book, if I make them a well balanced meal at home. Don’t get me wrong, we do our fair share of getting take out but its not something I want to do all the time.
So on days that I am completely exhausted and drained, I need a quick and easy go to meal that doesn’t require a whole lot of brain power. I want to open my pantry and basically have the meal handed to me.
And with a basic box of mac-n-cheese, I can have a meal for my family of six in 20 minutes.
Serve with a salad or a vegetable and there you go. A healthy, kid friendly meal that will satisfy all in less time than it would take for pizza to be delivered.

I like it and looks yummy.
Enjoy the weekend.
Easy and Yummy — I'm doing it!!
Thanks : )
That sounds good!
Yum!
Love this! Thanks for the recipe. I think I'd just add some kidney beans to it, cause the babies love those and they love their macNcheese! Great idea!
I meant to post this a few days ago on the "go-to recipes" subject. This recipe takes a little while in the oven, but there is very little preparation and uses all fresh ingredients. It's become a great staple for our family…hubby and I love it, and so do our 15-month old twins.
