]]> When you’re a parent, you know how hard it can be to constantly make dinner every single night for your children. It’s virtually impossible to always have the energy to do it, and yet you have no choice. Luckily, there are some dinners that are easier to make than others. Here are some quick and easy dinners that are perfect for your kids.

Chicken Nuggets

Chicken nuggets have always been pretty darn delicious, and even better, they’re incredibly easy to prepare. Just place them in the oven for about half an hour to an hour, and they’re done. They require no preparation whatsoever.

Pasta

Another super easy dinner to make that has stood the test of time is pasta. Boil up a pot of water, place your pasta inside, and wait for it to soften. A monkey could do this recipe, and yet your kids will love it every single time.

Soup

Soup takes a little bit longer than the previous two, but it’s pretty simple and straightforward. Some are harder than others, but the easy ones require little to no effort at all. Oh yeah, and soup has that whole “nourishing for the soul” thing going on too.

]]> Rice noodles come up in many different Asian dishes, and they might seem like an intimidating ingredient, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Rice noodles are one of the easiest ingredients to make, because they don’t take very long and can be eaten hot or cold!

If you have kids, having them make the rice noodles in a dish is a great way to introduce them to cooking, but it’s also a great product for people who don’t feel confident in the kitchen.

The reason why rice noodles are so easy is that you don’t even need to actually boil them. All you need to do is cover them in a certain amount of hot water — every type of noodle is different and will say on the package — wait a few minutes, and then drain them! This means you can even make them at work or in a hotel room if you only have a hot water kettle.

Rice noodles can work in so many different types of dishes, whether it’s a stir-fry, soup, and especially in a salad. All you have to do is put the rice noodles in a bowl with veggies like carrots and cucumbers, fresh herbs, some nuts if you like, and an Asian-style dressing, and you’re set!
