Family Meal Time: 5 Dinners That Use Spaghetti Sauce
If you’ve been a reader of this site for long you know I am a meal planning lover.
Really, I am logical. I know that without a plan dinner will not get on the table, the groceries will not be purchased, bellies will not get fed and our night will spin into a whirlwind of chaos. After all, I wrote an eBook about meal planning and step by step how to do it.
I remind moms all the time, our kids do not want an Iron Chef meal for dinner. They simply want dinner together around the table as a family. There are memories waiting to be made. Every evening is an opportunity to connect and grow as a family. A time to be available. Our families need this!
You can unwind together and share the best part of your day. You can create conversation cards and talk about topics that are important to your family. You can plan activities for the future- maybe your next vacation? There is nothing I love more than my entire family around the table together.
One of our favorite meals is spaghetti. Everyone at our house loves it- we are pasta (and rice) fanatics. It cooks very quickly and is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a Sunday meal.
Did you know that spaghetti is not the only thing you can make for dinner when it comes to a jar of sauce?
