Easy Meals and Tips for Busy Schedules #WeekdaySupper #FamilyDinnerTable

As a busy working mom of four, one of my biggest struggles is getting dinner on the table during the week.  This is especially true during the fall when I have to get my boys out the door for football practice.  I learned a long time ago, when we had 3 football schedules plus a cheerleading schedule, that easy meals are the key to eating dinner together as a family.

Our Weekday Supper Meals are usually created from a spin-off of our Sunday Supper creation that week.  Our evenings run much smoother when I plan ahead and create a meal plan on Sunday evening for our week.  I like doing this because it keeps me organized and also because I can think about all the ingredients that I need and use them in each recipe,  therefore I don’t have as much waste. This also saves money on our grocery bill.

American Family Insurance, is focused on building a community of dreamers. They believe that building the next generation of dreamers starts at the family dinner table. That’s the inspiration behind the Back to the Family Dinner Table campaign. Through Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter, we’ll be sharing family favorite recipes and the stories behind them.

This week’s Weekday Supper Recipes were inspired by the American Family Insurance employees.  They submitted some of their favorite recipes and our talented contributors are ready to share them with you.  You are in the for a treat!
