March Break Meal Planning - Made Easy!

Plan Now, Relax Later

March Break is right around the corner and for many of us the kids are home and looking for something to do. For our family, all the after school activities are on hiatus too, so that means our evenings are a bit more relaxed and perfect for getting the kids into the kitchen.

If you’re looking for a couple of easy kid-friendly recipes they can really "help" make, here’s a list of the recipes my kids and I will be cooking this March Break.

Three Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

I promise, the hardest part is opening up the salsa jar.

Easiest Meatloaf Ever

You can even prep this one in the morning, head out for some March Break fun then pop in the oven when you get home.

Five Minute Pizzas

Perfect for a quick lunch.

Chicken Parmesan Casserole

Fancy enough to invite another family over for dinner but easy enough for your kids to say they cooked it themselves.

Freezable Chicken Taquitos

Make some for dinner and some for the freezer for another day.

Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup

For the days you're spending outside and need something warm and comforting when you come home.

One Pan Chicken and Feta Broccoli Bake

If you're dreaming of warm sunny weather, but opted to spend March Break at home in the cold, this dinner is for you.

Foil Pack Salmon

An entire dinner cooked in a little bundle means less clean-up!

Baked Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Because breakfast for dinner is perfect over March Break.

Of course, what's a made-by-kids-meal without a made-by-kids-dessert too? Here are some of my favourite desserts to make with the kids.

Slow Cooker Strawberry Cobbler

Yes it is possible to make dessert in the slow cooker.

Oreo Brownie Cake Bars

By far one of my kids' favourite desserts.

Cake Batter Cookie Bars

So easy, it's hard to even call this baking.

Lemon Meringue Pie S'Mores

Two of my favourite desserts combined into one then baked in the oven.

Storm Trooper (or Clone Trooper) Cupcakes

It's like a craft and baking all in one!

No Bake Frozen Chocolate Cream Pie

It's chocolate and it's pie... nothing more needs to be said except YUM!

Happy March Break everyone! Hope you have lots of fun cooking with your kids.
