Quick and Easy dinners for working moms

So, you are a working mom full time, how many children do you have to eat dinner on the table?

When I cook, I need a simple recipe that contains only a few ingredients, or something that can be made in 30 minutes or less.

We all want to be superheroes, but let’s face it, sometimes it won’t happen to eat a meal on the table after a long day. However, with one of these quick and delicious recipes, you can make your family full and happy in 15 minutes or less.

Here are some staple foods that our favorite mom food blogger swears to help you prepare dinner immediately.

List of quick and easy dinners for working moms

Spicy coconut chicken legs

Chicken breasts should only be cooked for 3-4 hours at a lower temperature. They do not have enough collagen or fat and will dry out quickly. If the chicken is surrounded by liquid (as in soup), it can be cooked in a slow cooker for longer.

Lemon lentil chicken soup

Beef chuck roast is my favorite slow-cooked beef block. If it is a large piece of grilled meat, it may take up to 12 hours in a slow cooker. You will know that the beef has become soft and hard-you can easily cut it with a fork. Easy to shred.

Pull-out APART ham and cheese


This is one of my favorite recipes for parties. We brought these sliders to several family picnics.

Tomato dumpling soup


As the cold weather approaches, this soup will definitely make you and your family feel warm during dinner time. In addition to cooking in 15 minutes or less, this recipe requires only one pot.

Spicy lemon shrimp with honey-lime dipping sauce


I drool for this. Honey lime sauce and shrimp are delicious.

Tortellini in parmesan cream sauce with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes


I have a relationship with Tortellini.

Ultimate Nachos


Cornflakes are one of my favorite things. These cornflakes are the ultimate.

Cheeseburger Tortilla


I like frying pan rice!

One Arrow Taco Chili Pepper


In this recipe, Taco, Chili, and Mac have three delicious words. I love them all!

10.20 Method of using roast beef in the slow cooker

Beef stew is also a good choice for slow cookers. It can be kept at a low setting for 8 hours, and that’s it.

Don’t peek at beef

Pork butt or pork shoulder can stay in the slow cooker for hours. If it is large, it can be placed in a low place for 12 hours. If it is cut into stew, it can be cooked for as little as 8 hours.

Chipotle shredded shredded pork

Whole turkey breasts or whole chickens work well in slow cookers. In the case of bone-filled turkey breast (install it in a slow cooker, good luck), it takes longer to cook rice than boneless turkey breasts – cook at low 7 or 8 hours, Instead of 5 or 6 hours.

Broccoli and sausage pasta


This pasta is so good, your child will be tricked into actually eating broccoli. Just boil the pasta, and then cook the broccoli and sausage in the pan, and that’s it.

Chicken stir fry


Wok cooking sounds daunting, but it can be easily achieved even when time is tight. Cook some rice to make the meal more substantial.

Cream chicken and herb frying pan


Kristin’s two moms made gluten-free recipes without sacrificing flavor or spending hours in the kitchen. Try this chicken frying pan recipe, which can be made into four portions in 15 minutes.

Spicy salmon


In addition to being quick and delicious, this recipe is also rich in omega 3, with less than 350 calories per serving.

Peperoni Pizza Bread


It looks good. Toot likes pizza and bread, so it suits her very well.

Easy BBQ Chicken Pizza


I’m sure, BBQ chicken pizza is my favorite type of pizza (at the moment!)
