Food Ideas That The Whole Family Will Love

You’ve got a family to feed, and it might be that right about now, you’re running out of ideas! You’ve already had to cope with upping the entertainment factor in your house, and now comes the mealtime ordeals. Because kids can be fussy, and even adults can be when they’ve had the same thing 5 or 6 days in a row. So, why not think about some of the ideas below? They’re easy to prepare and cook up, and you can make the family a whole lot happier in one quick go!

Properly Spiced Fried Chicken

Fried chicken is something very few people turn their nose up at. Chicken itself is a very light and easy to eat meat, so it’s not like you’ll be laying out half raw steaks and expecting your kids to cut into and chew on hunks of meat for minutes at a time! No, instead, learn how to fry up a good bit of chicken breast or leg, and watch how quickly the plates clear round the dinner table.

Don’t worry, we’re not expecting you to learn on your own. You can follow along with recipe guides like this one to ensure you’re getting the right color on the batter, and that you’re setting up a dredging station right, and that your chicken is properly cooked all the way through. The seasoning is usually up to you, so pick out your favorite spices and add them to the mix!

A Tray of Different Flavored Pretzels

Pretzels are a great idea for laying on a spread of food, simply because there are so many customization options. For someone who likes sweet foods, you can have cinnamon and sugar pretzels, or even pretzels dipped in caramel. For someone who prefers the savory side of things, cheese or salted pretzels also exist.

And when you can hand out a gourmet soft pretzel to each member of the family, the texture won’t put them off either! Because hard pretzels can be rough on young and old teeth alike, and you definitely want something you can really chow down on when it comes to warming family mealtimes.

A Good Pot Pie!

And finally, of course, it’s time to put together a good pot pie. Pie is a great thing to set out at family mealtime, simply because it’s such a hearty and well-loved option, even by the little ones!

Because you can throw all kinds of things into a pie, for a mix of flavors, and if you prepare and cook the pastry properly, you can have a buttery and flaky crust to help it all go down! The secret to a good crust? It’s browning off the butter before mixing it in!

Your family needs feeding, and you’re determined to serve up a storm. So, why not rely on the ideas above for a little while? There’s a lot here to sink your teeth into, which the whole family will love.
