I love how this Whole 30 Balsamic Grilled Chicken Salad recipe from Paleo Gluten Free Eats makes it so easy to prep dinner for toddlers (or picky kids of any age) at home. Because you can serve the kids the individual ingredients in bite sizes for an easy, complaint-free dinner for them, then pile it all together into one delicious salad yourself. So good!
We eat Greek Pasta Salad once a week around our house, and this recipe at Bake Eat Repeat is one you can easily prep ahead of time, then pull it out when it’s time to eat. You can also grill some chicken or salmon to go with it on the side, or even pick up a rotisserie chicken at the market to shred and mix into the pasta salad. Easy.
Kebabs on the grill is the perfect Friday meal for me, because it’s so simple but still a guaranteed crowd-pleaser if we invite friends over last minute. But kebabs don’t have to be bland, especially if you use the amazing, sticky, flavorful sesame glaze in this recipe for Grilled Sesame Steak Skewers at Simply Scratch.
