Several years ago, we made a point to have at least one (or two!) big meals as a family, and this grilled chicken marinade was hands down one of our favorite meals.
Our son Jackson was living on campus that summer about 25 minutes away, so every Sunday I would text our little family to find out when we were planning dinner, and spend one day each week making oodles of their favorite food. Since Caroline was heading a little farther away to college, they all knew better make their momma happy and come right home for dinner at least once a week.
So I was making ALLLL the food, saving a bunch of money (and time!) eating out, and savoring each meal of summer as the weeks dwindled down a wee bit too quickly.
I was using the PPP Menu Planning Made Easy Summer Series Box (they are so, SO good!), and I loved how simple it is to pull together a fancy meal easily, any day of the week.
It’s rare to get my family all together fast at dinner for a picture. Here’s the best they can do. 🤪
Here’s what I served with it:
- BEST EVER Salad
- Slow Cooker Creamed Corn
- Fresh bread
- Sheet pan veggies (I used one of those PictSweet frozen sheet pan bags of veggies from Kroger. My husband loved it. Kids hated it. I’d rather eat salad so didn’t waste an ounce of calories because really, just give me all the happy salad!)
- Apple dumplings for dessert
For the record, we do NOT eat like this all that often – but especially in the summertime, it’s nice to plan one big meal a few times a week, then eat on the leftovers for a few days. It’s easy, gives us a reason to hang out together, and I sure love that dinner is done.
If you’re struggling with coming up with yummy menus this week, definitely check out our Summer Menu Plans Pack. I promise your family will love them (if you’re unsure, just read the reviews!), and they’ll make planning dinner fast even on crazy busy days. Pull out a week on Sunday, grab your groceries, and eat good food all week long. I promise it’s worth it ~ and will save a bundle at the drive thru lane. I love that and I’m betting you and your family will love it too. 🥰
