Easy meals to make at home include make-ahead breakfasts, simple lunches, snacks and family dinners that are healthy, delicious and use on-hand ingredients.
It must be the type A personality shining through, but I actually really enjoy sitting down and mapping out our dinners, snacks and school lunches for the kids.
With the coronavirus keeping us all at home, I know several friends who are stressing about all the food and cooking aspect of this new life.
Crazy Easy Dinner Recipes For Beginners (with Few Ingredients)
I can't assume I'll be able to get all the exact foods and supplies I need any time I go to the store to stock up for as long as possible, so I've been trying to plan out some easy meals to make at home more generally and also allow plenty of flexibility.
Really, it'll depend on what we can get, right? (I've been checking Amazon too and I know lots of food companies can ship to you as well, such as flours and oats from Bob's Red Mill. 👍)
Anyway, with everyone working from home and kids out of school, we'll certainly be needing to keep things pretty basic in the kitchen. Enter:
Quick Comfort Food: 55 Easy Recipes For Busy Days
I've gathered some ideas for easy make-ahead breakfasts, simple on-hand lunches as well as some easy family dinners that have just a few ingredients and/or rely on pantry basics. Plus, some bonus easy healthy snacks to make and have on hand.
Also, please keep in mind that I am a substitute queen and in many of my recipes, I already mention substitutions and swaps you can make to the recipes. These are usually in the bolded Notes section of the written post; sometimes that information is also listed in the notes section of the recipe card at the bottom of the post. That will be useful in the coming weeks .
When able, I'm going to prep a few of these a week so we have some breakfast options ready to go in the morning. Helps start the day off strong. 👊

Many of these are adaptable, so you can use the ingredients you have available or tailor them to suit your family's tastes.
We've packed my kids' lunches for years, but there's something about the thought of them at home and needing lunch every day for the next couple of months, in the middle of my work day, that stresses me out.
My kids are 6 and 8, so they are eager to help in the kitchen, but still need some oversight and assistance. Which is why we are keeping things really easy with these ideas.

And knowing how snack-crazy they get when they are home all summer long, I'm guessing we're in for it during this quarantine time period too.

But these are some of our very favorites and you know me, they are gonna be pretty easy to put together. Plus, it helps me burn some of this anxious energy I'm feeling to get in the kitchen and fix up some yummy treats.

Make ahead and store: You can make many of these easy dinners ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for a few days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can also make things easy by prepping the ingredients in advance and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Check the individual recipes for full make ahead and storing instructions.
How to reheat: Most of these leftovers can be reheated either in the air fryer or the oven at 300F for 10-15 minutes until warmed through, on the stovetop over medium to low heat for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through, or in the microwave in 20-second increments until warmed through. If heating from frozen, let it thaw first and then reheat.
