Yet, there really is no reason for it — quick, easy, and most importantly healthy meals can be prepared in the same amount of time it takes to meander through the drive-thru. And eating together as a family can help you teach your children healthful eating habits — incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables, trying new food, and actually sitting at a table to eat! Here are fifty delicious recipes with enough variety to please each member of your family. You’ll find classics like pizza, meatloaf, and (healthier) chicken tenders, as well as more adventurous fare — Sweet and Sour Shrimp, Balsamic Grilled Tuna, and Grilled Chicken and Mango Salad. Best of all, most recipes can be made in that hectic half-hour after work and practice and before homework and evening activities. We haven’t forgotten the treats, though — there are recipes for weekend breakfasts, fun party treats, and special desserts perfect for sleepovers and birthday parties. As a parent, you know that there are always food challenges, but by providing home-cooked, healthier meals, your children will learn the true meaning of moderation, self-control, and the proper place for food in our incredible world. Invite your children into the kitchen. Let them help you make dinner while you catch up on their day. And make the time to enjoy a good, old- fashioned family dinner as often as you can. You’ll be creating family traditions and memories that will last a lifetime. Spicy Egg Wrap Choose your own level of salsa! Mild or hot, this is a fun and unique portable breakfast!

With the protein of eggs, and the tomato salsa for kick (and even a little bit of vitamin C and antioxidants), add in the fiber of the wrap or tortilla, and a glass of milk, and the nutrients in the morning do not get any better than this.
