What I love about Plated is that they almost always have one or two tasks designed for a young person, so while I’m doing something that is advanced, they could be stirring or banging on nuts or something simple to help out.

Lunch - Hummus + pita or tortilla – If I really want to get fancy, I chop some carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers and put them into the pita or tortillaĭinner - Annie’s Mac n Cheese + steamed broccoli + cherry tomatoes – delicious and nutritious – broccoli can actually be steamed in about same time as it takes to prep the mac and cheeseĬome to think of it, cherry tomatoes are a must for us – you can add them to any of the above meals.Įvery week we get two meals from Plated, a home meal delivery service. The summertime quick eat smorgasbord means sending the kids running out to the garden for fresh tomatoes, beans and whatever else is ripe to add to the dipping, crunching magic.īreakfast - scrambled eggs + shredded cheddar + toast – it’s very easy to get the eggs going even though it seems daunting at first to whip out the frying pan Grab your brick cheese and/or salami and have the oldest kids slice it while the younger kids find the mustard, pickles and crackers.
Get a big platter, spread out the fresh veggies and hummus, add small bowls yogurt topped with sliced fruit and a healthy sprinkling of granola. This is predicated on maintaining a decently stocked pantry, but you can build up most of the not-so-perishable ingredients over a few grocery store trips. Hungry kids in a pinch? I’m all about the no hassle smorgasbord.
We asked the question, what’s your go-to meal when you’re in a pinch? And there’s fun in listening to one another. Fathering can be isolating, so there’s great benefit to helping each other out as fellow dads on this journey. At dadcraft, we believe we’re in this together.
