Jump to RecipeA Quick Weeknight Meal to Feed the Whole Family
It’s Spring! And that means, back to those busy sports nights where we are often rushed out the door right after school ends.
These night can be so hectic for families everywhere. It can seem nearly impossible to escape hitting the drive through on these weeknights and even more impossible to give the family a hearty, healthy meal on the go.
Here’s a quick weeknight meal that you can prep 30-45 minutes before leaving the house. Separate the meal into individual tupperware dishes or thermoses and you’ve got a meal on the go for your busy sports night!
This quick meal will make enough for a large portion for 8 individual servings and leave enough for at least one leftover serving for lunch the next day.
The best thing is that if one of your kiddos doesn’t like shrimp, you can add the shrimp at the end rather than incorporating it into the sauce. Then you’ll have a delicious vegetarian Garlic Alfredo!
