What I always need is a fast and easy way to make dinner. That’s what we all need, right?! Because no matter what, the repetitive act of deciding what to make for dinner can drive you crazy!
And lately, Iโve been focused on finding quick and easy ways to make family dinners that save time and help us avoid eating out. So when I find something that I love, I always share it with my friends or family. But I’m going to share it here too. ๐
So I have used the George Foreman grill for the longest time. I’m on my third one, and this newest one has to be the best one for me. I didn’t like the last one because you couldn’t remove the plates, and you had to basically put the whole machine in the sink, which was very inconvenient, but this new one that I got doesn’t. It’s not as big, but I just did four bigger burgers at one time, and it cooked them so quickly and perfectly!
I just can’t wait to try it out on other stuff. I do like to make a panini sandwich a lot for a quick meal. I just use different types of breads, like jalapenos and cheddar, and I’m definitely going to use this to make those sandwiches.

I linked it above on Amazon, but I did find mine on sale at Walmart. It was the last one and was on sale since the box was a bit damaged. I took a chance and glad I did.
What are your secrets!? ๐
Please share other shortcuts for family dinners you use. I am constantly searching for quick ways to cook at home.
Why I Try to Cook More at Home…
Eating out is such a drain for a family of 5, so I try to mix it up. It ain’t easy though! The cost for fast food or even picking up at a restaurant is insanely expensive. Maybe once a week or every 2 weeks, but my wallet can’t handle more than that!
What helps me with quick dinners:
Remembering to take the meat out of the freezer ๐
Writing out a simple weekly menu – you don’t have to stick to it. Even using it as a guideline helps.
Keeping ingredients on hand
Using tools like the George Foreman grill
Having a few go-to meals ready
Again, please share any shortcuts you have!
