Kid friendly one pot meals

One pot meals

Now that the weather is finally  warmer, I can not begin to tell you how this excites me. With school ending next  month, those busy late nights of cooking dinner in the kitchen, and hustling to get everything done in a day’s time, will be  a thing of the past. With Summer beginning soon, the excitement is only building up in this household. Oh yes, those lazy summer days are almost upon us and you know what?

I can not wait!

One of the things that are a must and is so helpful to me during Spring and Summer is preparing quick and easy to make recipes. I truly don’t believe there is not a mom who doesn’t. I believe that most of the time we just want to kick back like the rest and enjoy that deserved extra time. But when you have a family of 5 with different appetites it can make it stressful to think of ideas on what to serve. My family loves when I’m creating one bowl meals and you know what? Who am I to pass judgment, it does save this mom time in the kitchen so it’s a win-win for me.  

Today I thought it would be fun to share some of our favourite one pot meals. 

Summer vegetables with sausages & potatoes
Vegetable Beef Stir Fry
One-Pot burrito bowls
Creamy Chicken and Pasta

Pepperoni pizza
One Pot Pasta
Beef Stroganoff
Chicken Fried rice

Lemon Chicken Potato casserole
Chicken Vegetable Orzo
Cobb Pasta Salad
Chicken & Dumplings

Summer Vegetables with Sausage and Potatoes by Skinnytaste. You can swap out the summer veggies for whatever happens to be in season for a year round treat.

Vegetable Beef Stir Fry by Dishes and Dust Bunnies. Grab some chop sticks and whip up this stir fry dish for a fun family meal.

One Pot Burrito Bowls by I Heart Naptime. Mexican inspired food is a go-to for families and these burrito bowls are sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

One Pot Creamy Chicken and Vegetable Pasta by recipe girl is a meal that both kids and adults will love!

One Pot Pepperoni Pizza Pasta Bake by raining hot coupons This casserole recipe is a one pot recipe and very kid friendly. If you are a fan of pizza recipes or cheesy recipes, you will love it!

One Pot Pasta by Damn Delicious The easiest, most amazing pasta you will ever make. Even the pasta gets cooked right in the pot. How easy is that?!

Beef stroganoff  by Damn Delicious made completely from scratch in ONE POT in less than 30 min. And it tastes 10000x better than the boxed stuff!

One Pot Chinese Chicken Fried Rice by RecipeTin Eats  An all in one dish that combines the savoury taste of Asian flavoured chicken with kid-friendly fried rice. 

Lemon Chicken Potato Casserole by  Gimme Some Oven An easy, creamy and delicious casserole that makes good use of condensed cans of cream soup if you’ve got them at the ready. 

One Pot Creamy Chicken Vegetable Orzo by  RecipeTin Eats  A take on one pot pasta except made with orzo which cooks faster and results in a less starchier sauce than pasta. A tasty well-balanced meal to feed the kids that’s loaded with veggies and protein. 

Cobb Pasta salad by Nutritious eats Traditional Cobb salad meets pasta in this protein-packed one dish meal. It’s kid-friendly and great for leftovers! 

Quick Chicken and Dumplings by My recipes This creamy one-dish meal cuts the prep time in half by using flour tortillas instead of homemade dumplings.

      Me too! The last thing I need is to be swamped in the kitchen for an hour after we have finished eating dinner!
      I’m always on the look out for new recipes to try with my kids too so if you have any to share I would love to hear about them!

    Yummy! I was searching for something like this, because cooking for little ones is exhausting and I need new ideas! I think the burrito bowls would be the biggest hit for my family.

    I love one pot meals. Especially if they are kid friendly, which in my house means “husband” friendly because he’s a picky eater, not my kids.

    This is a wonderful roundup. I started getting obsessed with one pot meals in the spring, and managed to make a few pasta ones for the kids. I’d love to add more dishes to this fun culinary adventure!

    Oh yes, girl! My crock-pot gets a work out all the time. My family loves pot roast in the slow cooker and when I add potatoes and carrots, it becomes a one-pot meal! Thanks for your list!

    When you have children sometimes you don’t want to be in the kitchen all day or night. Meals that are easy to prepare are just what we moms are looking for. One pot meals are awesome!
