TOP 5 Easy Dinner Ideas

Kristyn’s Dinner Tips

General Tips

  • Quick Pan Fry: Cut raw chicken into bite-size pieces. Heat some olive oil in a large skillet and add the chicken. Season with salt and little pepper. Every 1-2 minutes give the chicken a stir until cooked. To test We will cut a couple of the large pieces in half to check for doneness. 
  • Slow Cooker: Whether you’re cooking for a large group or smaller family dinner, utilizing the slow cooker can get dinner on the table in the evening quick and easy. You can make everything from beef roast to lasagna in the slow cooker.
  • Prep ahead of time: Having pre chopped veggies, pre shredded chicken, or meat thawing in the fridge will only help prepare your dinner run more smoothly. 
  • Freezer meal: To easily get a stockpile of freezer meals simply double a recipe you are already making and freeze half of it. Be sure to use a freezer safe container. Large resealable plastic bags are great. 

How much to serve?

  • PASTA: 2-3 ounces dry pasta per person
  • MEAT: 8-12 ounces per person
  • SOUP OR STEW: 1 1/2 – 2 cups per person 
  • CASSEROLES: A 9×13 pan can typically serve 10-12 peopleBefore a dinner: Appetizers are great to set out about an hour before the main meal will be served. Plan for guests to be able to have 3-5 pieces/servings total.

Freezer meal tips

  • Meals can typically be frozen for 3-6 months. Thaw overnight before reheating.
  • How to freeze meat? Vacuum-sealing meat in freezer safe bags is ideal, but double wrapping cuts of meat with plastic wrap, aluminum foil or freezer safe bags works well too.
