Meal plans and ideas
I need meal ideas that are balanced/reasonbly healthy, kids would enjoy, can either be made ahead of time or in 30 min.
My menu usually consists of variations of the following:
Chili
Tacos
Quesaddilas
Soups/stews
Pasta (baked, simple sauces, primavera)
Roasted chicken
Chicken cutlets
Sides of rice and cooked veggies
Green Salads
Seared/baked fish
Just looking for some new things to make.

I usually go out and buy myself a new cookbook or follow a few food blogging sites...You can get some great ideas from just googling things like "chicken recipes" etc.

Re: Meal plans and ideas
i belong to a lot of food blogs.
I am going to be adding oven baked fajitas to my meals and lasagna roll ups. I had quiche this week too. Also as the weather gets cooler I had a fresh batch of soup a week.

I saw an idea on pinterest to toss a halved spaghetti squash in the crockpot with sauce and meatballs. Sounds brilliant to me!
There's another one with frozen ravioli layered with sauce and mozzarella cheese and baked that I've tried.
Other ideas would be steak or shrimp since those cook up so quickly. Soups or chilis are easy to make ahead. Homemade pizza, you can get whole wheat dough in the supermarket.

DS like breaded scallops aka fish nuggets
Pretzel chicken - grind up flavored pretzels, mix half pretzels and had breadcrumb together. Coat chix in honey mustard, then crumbs. Bake/fry.
Ranch chicken burgers - packet ranch dressing powder one package ground chix

Re: Meal plans and ideas
I'm not great with cooking and my mom has been doing most of it recently because we have a 6 week old.
We do a lot of grilling, mainly burgers, chicken, steak, even potatoes; Birds Eye Frozen veggies that are microwaved; Uncle Bens 90 second rice; sausage and peppers; pasta.
