5 Healthy and Easy Dinner Ideas for Teens and Kids

No complicated recipes required!

Quesadillas

Quesadillas at their simplest are tortillas and cheese. But adding chopped spinach, cooked squash, black beans or sliced tomatoes is easy and adds variety.

Omelets

Omelets are also easy, consisting mainly of eggs and cheese. Adding sliced tomatoes, sliced green peppers, thinly sliced onions or cubes of cream cheese elevate them to a well-rounded meal.

Burgers

As long as your teen knows how to use a grill, burgers can be relatively easy to make – especially the preformed ones. Even if they don't know how to grill, burgers can be made in a broiler.

Nachos

Nachos can be put together in a snap – just line a jelly pan with foil, spray with oil and cover with a layer of tortilla chips and cheese. Adding cherry tomatoes, avocado, black beans and other toppings make nachos a meal.

Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup

This comforting meal can be as easy as warming up a can or box of soup and grilling a cheese sandwich in a pan. Perfect for rainy days!
