One of the challenges of planning family menus week in and week out, is the monotony that frequently sets in over time. Most chefs would agree, it becomes easy to maintain a stable of go-to recipes that are used week in and week out. While there is nothing wrong with these family favorites, adding some new recipes can be a way to add fun back into the dinner hour. Using some non-conventional recipes, hands-on creation entrees and different food experiences can help reinvigorate the nightly repast.
Non-conventional meals may throw family members for a loop, but they can certainly be fun. Consider offering a breakfast supper of pancakes, eggs and bacon for dinner. Using a wholegrain pancake recipe will add some nutritional value and fruit can be served in or alongside the meal. Soup, a common lunch food, makes an excellent dinner on cold winter nights, and plenty of fun variations on standard dinner entrees can now be found as soups; think baked potato or chicken pot pie.
Hands-on creation meals are fun for young and old family members alike. Tacos are a fun family standby that are quick to prepare and offer access to plenty of vegetables and cheese. Topped with a homemade salsa, few dinners can rival the health benefits offered. Another fun make-at-home dinner idea is homemade Pizza. By offering a dazzling array of toppings, everyone can make their own personal pizza and enjoy tasting a masterpiece.
Expanding the horizons of a weekday menu to different ethnic foods can make for many fun nights at the table. Consider offering an Italian night of pasta, salad and bread, a Chinese food night of stir fry and rice or even French night by having crepes. Adding variety to a standard family menu will have everyone looking to eat at home and enjoy quality time together. The cost savings by eating in, versus out, will be welcomed by most busy families.
Dinner should be a meal enjoyed among friends and family. By offering a slate of non-conventional, hands-on created entrees and different ethnic food experiences, a family can easily and enjoyably expand their culinary horizons. Offering fun, unique and creative dinner ideas will keep everyone looking to come back to the table for more.
