Quick Family Dinner Ideas for End of School Year

Sharing is caring!

I’ve gotten to the point of the school year that I just can’t even. You know that last month and a half where you’re officially done. Done with the chauffeuring to and from sports practices, done with the homework, done with the school projects that are really meant for the parents. Just done. Done. Done. Done.

It’s not just sports and regular school stuff at this time of year either. It’s end of year field trips, sports tournaments and school productions added into the mix which means that I don’t have a ton of time (or patience!) to make a big old dinner for the family every night. I just can’t and I know you can’t either.

That’s why I’ve put together this handy list of great QUICK family dinner ideas to get us all through this last weeks until summer. (Then we can bitch about the kids being home for summer, amIright?!?)
