Weeknight meals used to be a complete mess at our house. Between homework, after-school activities and my husband and I working full time, we were resorting to cereal for dinner more often than I like to admit. We recently made it our mission to eat together as a family as often as possible. We brainstormed a list of meals that we all enjoy, that are easy to make, and we even included a few that the kids can make themselves. Woo hoo!

Now, the kids help me make a weekly meal plan, and then I grab the essentials at Meijer. Thanks to Meijer’s great selection and unique produce and deli offerings, I can find everything I need to make family meal time happen most days of the week.
