Realistic Weekday Meals for Busy Families

 If you want to make sure that your family are eating healthily, then you’ll be glad to know that this is easy to do. In fact, if you follow this guide, you’ll soon find that you can get most of these meals done in well under half an hour.

Sheet Pan Fajitas

If you don’t have time to prepare much in the way of your meals, then this is a very good meal. You just need to put peppers, some fajita seasoning, onions and minced steak into a sheet pan and grill it for around 10 minutes. You can swap the steak out for chicken if you want, or you can experiment by using shrimp. The great thing about this recipe is that you can prepare it in advance and then put it in the sheet pan whenever you’re ready to get cooking.

Parmesan Chicken and Broccoli

Vegetables taste way better when they have a dusting of parmesan cheese. The great thing about this recipe is that it doesn’t take long at all, and you can throw it all in the oven. Just take a chicken fillet, butterfly it and then coat it with a dusting of flour. When you have done this, you then need to put it in an egg wash before coating it in breadcrumbs. You can also add some parmesan to your breadcrumbs if you want. You can bake this on a tray, or if you want, you can shallow fry it. Either way, it’s a full meal done in well under half an hour.

Mushroom, Spinach and Artichoke Pasta

Simply put your pasta into a pot of boiling, salted water. When you have done this, add your spinach, mushroom and artichoke. That’s right, it’s a one-pot meal, and the starch from the pasta will help to give the veggies that nice creamy texture. On top of this, the salt from the water also seasons your vegetables nicely. There’s almost no clean-up, and on top of that, you can add a grating of cheese to bring everything together. If you want more flavour, you can fry off your mushrooms and add them at the last minute.

Chicken Ramen

The ramen that you find packaged at the supermarket can easily be turned into a gourmet meal. You can add your favourite vegetables or protein if you want. If you really want to take things to that next level, add a soft-boiled egg. This will only take you 6 minutes, and you would be surprised at how much flavour it will add to the end dish.

Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Sure, pulled pork can take quite a while to cook, but at the end of the day, you can put it in your slow cooker as you go ahead and run your errands. When dinner time comes along, all you have to do is shred it and add some BBQ sauce. If you want to take things to that next level, then think about adding some apple slaw as well, as this will really bring everything together nicely.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program.

After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
