    • Easy Chicken Dinner Recipes -->This collection of easy chicken dinner recipes features some of our favorite family dishes, perfect for making a healthy, delicious home cooked meal on a busy night! Getting a healthy, home cooked meal on the table every night can be challenging. Particularly with the demands of work, school, activities and social obligations, well, it can be the last thing we want to do at the end of the day. So I’ve got tons of easy chicken recipes at my disposal that I turn to when I need to whip something up for us on one of those busy weeknights. (Or even busy weekends – dinners can be tough then, too!) And this collection of easy chicken dinner recipes has some that we make over and over again. It includes everything from skillet chicken dinners to slow cooker chicken recipes, one-pot chicken pastas, soups and salads with chicken, chicken burgers and meatballs, sheet pan chicken dinners and easy chicken casseroles.

      • Easy Chicken Recipes with Few IngredientsThese easy chicken recipes with few ingredients include some great healthy lunch and dinner options, all made with 5 or fewer ingredients! I am all about the EASY when it comes to cooking. I don’t like to fuss much over my food and I certainly don’t like to spend a ton of time in the kitchen at the end of a long day. Easy chicken dinner recipes and healthy lunch recipes with chicken are much more my style. (As are chicken recipes in under 30 minutes and, faster yet, chicken recipes in under 15 minutes. Cause life.) Speaking of life, a million trips to the grocery store also aren’t fun during a busy week. (Especially with little ones in tow!) So I’ve got these go-to easy chicken recipes with few ingredients that help me keep dinnertime simple. And my sanity intact. In fact, one of the first cookbooks I bought on my own, at a used bookstore in Washington, D.C., where I lived for a few years after college, was titled 3-ingredient recipes. I was pretty new to cooking and thought, I think I can handle that. My cooking skills have improved, but I still go for the simple chicken recipes…
      • Quick Chicken RecipesThis collection of quick chicken recipes features some of our favorite family dinners and go-to lunches, all ready in 30 minutes or less! From chicken skillet dinners to one-pot pastas, salads to burgers, you’re sure to find some new favorites! If you know me, you know I am ALL about the quick and easy recipes. I love making all of our homemade meals and home cooked dinners, but like you, I’ve also got a hundred other things to juggle and so keeping things simple in the kitchen is a must. And these quick chicken recipes include all of my chicken recipes in under 30 minutes and, even faster, chicken recipes in under 15 minutes. Sanity savers for sure. Busy weeknights have nothing on us! A few of our favorites from these quick chicken recipes: Healthy chicken Alfredo with broccoli Creamy chipotle chicken 20-minute chicken and tortellini soup with kale Skillet salsa chicken Easy creamy chicken This collection also has some healthy lunch recipes with chicken for mixing up your lunch routine. (It doesn’t include my slow cooker chicken recipes though, since those aren’t ready in 30 minutes. But they can be super quick to prep in the morning and then…
        • Chicken Recipes in Under 15 MinutesThese easy chicken recipes in under 15 minutes are perfect for dinner on a busy weeknight! From one-pot wonders to salads, chicken skillets to tacos, you’re sure to find some new fast favorites! You know those nights when you walk in the door and need dinner pronto?! Like, 5 minutes ago? That’s when I turn to these quick and easy chicken recipes in under 15 minutes. I can make a healthy, home cooked meal for my family and be sitting down to enjoy it in no time. Cause plenty of evenings, 15 minutes is often all the time I have – or want to spend – on dinner. I’m not alone on that, right?! You can browse below but I thought I’d highlight a couple that I make over and over again. A few of our favorite easy chicken recipes in under 15 minutes: 15-minute honey garlic chicken (gets rave reviews!) Southwest chicken skillet dinner (pile on your favorite toppings!) Quick chicken curry (perfect with rice and peas) One-pot low-carb leftover chicken recipe with spinach (my dad’s go-to recipe) This collection also includes some healthy lunch options that are quick to put together — like the Asian chicken mason jar…
        • Chicken Recipes in Under 30 MinutesThese easy chicken recipes in under 30 minutes are perfect for dinner on a busy weeknight! From one-pan meals to burgers, one-pot pastas to healthy salads, you’re sure to find some new favorites! Quick, easy and mostly healthy is pretty much the name of the game for dinner at my house. I love a home cooked meal and we eat a ton of chicken, which means I’ve come up with and found a lot of easy chicken recipes over the years. And this collection highlights some of my easy chicken recipes in under 30 minutes, when you want something delicious but need it on the table pretty quickly. Is that every single night for you too? We’ve got everything from skillet chicken dishes to chicken pasta and from soups and salads with chicken to chicken meatballs and burgers. All the chicken love! Many of these recipes use boneless, skinless chicken breasts (though you could substitute chicken thighs if you prefer) while others use ground chicken and some rely on pre-cooked chicken, such as a rotisserie chicken you pick up at the store or some leftover grilled or baked chicken. Lots of these 30 minute chicken dinners are complete meals but…
      • Healthy One-Pot Chicken DinnersHealthy one-pot chicken dinners are such a help on busy days! This collection includes everything from one-pot pastas and skillets to easy slow cooker and sheet pan recipes to help you get an easy, healthy and delicious dinner on the table any night! I am ALL about quick and easy meals. I cook our dinner 99% of the time, including on days when work has blown up in my face, or the kids have decided to coordinate their melt-downs, or we’re all just wiped out and hungry. And even though I love to cook, I definitely have those days when I’m just not feeling it. Enter some quick and easy one-pot chicken dinners for the win! These are great to have in your back pocket for busy days, busy weeks or in case of a “kids-are-making-me-crazy” kinda moment. (My husband also loves these meals because he’s on clean-up duty and it’s nice not to have a huge pile of dishes staring you down after dinner!) Many of these dishes are complete meals on their own. Others are low-carb as written, but can easily be paired with some rice, pasta, bread or potatoes to bulk them up a bit. Here are…
      • Slow Cooker Chicken RecipesThese hands-off slow cooker chicken recipes will put your slow cooker to work and have you coming home to a delicious, healthy dinner that’s ready to go! Some days, you just need someone else to make you dinner. I’m not talking takeout or delivery or a restaurant dinner. I’m talking about your crock pot or slow cooker. I find it supremely satisfying to go about my day, knowing that a delicious home cooked dinner is cooking up at home for me. I can play with the kids, take them to practices, run errands or just relax with a book and breathe easy. These slow cooker chicken recipes mean there is just one less thing to do in the evening and that’s a great thing on a busy day! This collection includes slow cooker recipes for boneless, skinless chicken breasts as well as chicken thighs (though you can usually sub either one). And many of these take just minutes to prep in the morning! 👍 Here’s a few of our favorite slow cooker chicken recipes: Slow cooker balsamic chicken Slow cooker bistro chicken thighs Slow cooker apricot chicken Crock pot Mediterranean chicken Slow cooker teriyaki chicken And be sure to check…
    • Easy Vegetarian RecipesEasy vegetarian recipes include main-dish meals that are hearty and satisfying and can stand alone for lunch or dinner (with a few savory breakfast options as well). Everything from one-pot veggie pastas to stuffed squash to chili to veggie burgers and hearty grain bowls and salads, there are meatless options here for everyone! I am a veggie lover through and through. 💚💚💚 I adore getting in as many vegetables as I can, throughout the day really, and I often make easy vegetarian dinners a couple of times a week. (Hello meatless Monday, I’m looking at you!) So over the years, I’ve created tons of great veggie-based meals that can stand on their own for lunch or dinner and be hearty and satisfying. And that are also mostly quick and easy, because I work as a health and nutrition editor and we’ve got a busy family so cooking on a weeknight needs to be low-key. My one-pot vegetarian spaghetti has been a hugely popular recipe here on the blog and you guys can’t seem to get enough of my grain bowls and salads. I know the feeling. 😉 I wanted to round up some of these in an easy-to-browse category that features…
    • Healthy Oatmeal RecipesA collection of healthy oatmeal recipes, including sweet and savory breakfast and brunch options as well as delicious, wholesome snacks and desserts. We are pretty much oatmeal fanatics in my house. ALL of us adore oatmeal and it’s a rare day that we’re not making or eating something with oats or oatmeal in it at some point during the day. And I mean all four of us – my husband, myself and our kids (currently ages 6 and 4). Our go-to 3-minute microwave oatmeal is a morning staple for my husband and a weekly staple for the kids and me. My kids eat overnight oatmeal jars at least twice a week for breakfast and we often have baked oatmeal another morning of the week. For school lunches or afternoon snack, we can be found munching on some no-bake cookie or energy balls with oats, oatmeal cookies of some variety or if they’ve asked nicely, I’ll make a batch of granola and we all just shovel handful after handful until it’s gone. Want to know some of our very favorites of the group below? OK, I’ll share! Our family’s favorite healthy oatmeal recipes: Healthy chocolate chip muffins Overnight oatmeal jars, 3…
    • Healthy Muffin RecipesA collection of easy, kid-friendly healthy muffin recipes for all times of day: breakfast, school lunch, snacking, dinner and dessert! We are BIG muffin lovers in this house, at all times of day! My kiddos love them for breakfast, brunch, school lunch, afternoon snack and sometimes even savory muffins at dinner. Muffins all the time! I’ve made thousands of healthy muffin recipes over the years and I love sharing them with you! There are plenty to browse below and plenty more I plan to add! (You can sign up for my newsletter so you never miss a recipe. You’ll also get my FREE e-book of easy weeknight dinners.) Wondering where to start? Spinach banana mini muffins and whole wheat pumpkin muffins are some of our constant favorites. Healthy peanut butter and jelly muffins are fun for lunch and easy cheesy cornbread muffins are great for a quick + easy dinner side, especially with soup or chili! And if you’re in the mood for a little chocolate (I know I always am!) you can’t go wrong with my healthy chocolate chip muffins. Hope you find some new favorite healthy muffin recipes! XO, Kathryn
    • Healthy DessertsThis collection of healthy desserts features everything from lightened up cookie bars and brownies to cakes, muffins and breads to no-bake energy bites. It’s the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth while staying on track with healthy choices! Healthy desserts are kind-of my jam. I like a dessert that gives back. One that has redeeming qualities. A sweet treat that’s going to treat me right. But of course, it also needs to be delicious so I actually satisfy those sweet cravings! The healthier dessert recipes you’ll find below are some of our go-to treats that are perfect for a healthier late-night option and many of which are great for offering kids a wholesome, but fun, treat for an after-school snack or tucked in their lunch box. Most of these recipes are whole grain and naturally sweetened, others are recipe makeovers that are lower in sugar and/or butter. A majority of them contain chocolate. 🍫❤️ And ALL are easy to make.

These fall recipes are whole grain and most are naturally sweetened for a wholesome, delicious treat at breakfast, snack, school lunch or dessert! Does anyone else get the baking bug when the cooler weather starts to roll in during autumn? I know I do! I get excited for all the apple baking projects, pumpkin baking projects and even getting ready for all the holiday baking to come! 🍎🎃 The spices, the warmth, the aroma of having something in the oven is just part of the season for me. Plus the love that comes from a homemade baked good – it just can’t be beat! ❤️ And y’all know my style is definitely a healthier version of baking. I use whole grains and most of my recipes are naturally sweetened. I try to lighten things up where possible and keep to mostly wholesome treats, maybe with a little indulgence here and there! 😉 Wondering where to start?

Homemade baby food quinoa, peaches, avocado, pumpkin and cottage cheese are easy, healthy beginner foods for baby and can all be ready in 20 minutes!Homemade baby food quinoa, peaches, avocado, pumpkin and cottage cheese - make these 5 easy beginner foods in just 20 minutes! | www.familyfoodonthetable.com

Welcome back to another batch cooking round of homemade baby food! Today we’re making quinoa, peaches, avocado, pumpkin and cottage cheese. All wholesome and easy-to-make introduction foods for your baby.

(Here’s my baby food introduction schedule for what solid foods to introduce when. And here’s my full list of favorite baby food combinations if you’re ready to start mixing foods together.)

And just like round 1 with homemade baby food peas, green beans, applesauce, butternut squash and oatmeal, we’ll be making all 5 of today’s foods in just 20 minutes! 🙌

Cause I know you’ve got too many other things demanding your time – like that sweet baby we’re trying to feed 😉 So I’m here to make this quick and efficient and show you how easy it can be to make homemade baby food.

(I made ALL of mine myself for both my kids. Never bought a jar or a squeeze pouch. And I have a full-time job so I had to make it fast and had to work it in. Now I want to share that with you!)

Ready to get started? Let’s do this!

Homemade baby food quinoa, peaches, avocado, pumpkin and cottage cheese ingredients

How to make homemade baby food quinoa, peaches, avocado, pumpkin and cottage cheese:

Step 1: Get your quinoa cooking. Follow your package directions but make sure it’s well-drained and generally use twice as much water as quinoa. For baby food, I like to do a full cup of quinoa and 2 cups of water. This makes a lot so I can have plenty to use and lots of extra to freeze or mix with other foods. Mine tends to call for combining the water and quinoa, bringing it to a boil, then reducing the heat, covering and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Then you turn off the heat and let it sit for a few minutes.

You’ll know it’s done when the water is completely absorbed and the little germ string is showing.

I puree the quinoa for brand new eaters but once your baby is starting to take a little bit of texture in their food, you can just serve it up as is (or mixed with fruits or veggies).

Step 2: While the quinoa is cooking, get the rest of the foods ready.

For the peaches: You can buy fresh, ripe peaches to use if they’re in season. Just remove the skin and pit and use your immersion blender to get them smooth and delicious.

Or, if peaches aren’t in season, you can buy frozen peaches, defrost them a bit and puree them with your blender. Or you can use canned or jarred peaches (packed in water or juice, not heavy syrup and not sugar-free because that means artificial sweeteners have been added), drain them and puree them.

Step 3: For the avocado: Get a ripe one, open her up, scoop out the insides – minus that big pit — and mash ‘em up good. Such great healthy fats for your growing baby!

Note: Avocado, like banana, doesn’t last that long once you mash it up. I usually do one-half mashed when ready to serve and keep the other half (still in the skin) wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge and mash it up the next day when I’m ready to serve it again.

Avocado also makes a great finger food for babies when they are ready. Just cut a soft, ripe avocado into small chunks and let your baby go to town.

Step 4: For the pumpkin: We love all things pumpkin around our house. Pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin yogurt cake, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin hidden in chocolate cake, pumpkin used in all sorts of baked goods, and on and on. I’m pretty sure it started with lots of pumpkin when they were babies.

I serve it plain at first, then after they’ve cleared the first few days with it as a new food, I mix the baby food pumpkin puree with cinnamon. And then you can start baking with pumpkin and never look back!

What to do: Open a can of pure pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling). Scoop out some pumpkin. Serve. Ta-da!

Step 5: For the cottage cheese: When they’re itty bitty, puree this up with your immersion blender so it’s smooth. When they’re a bit older, you can let them try this as a finger food or with a spoon. Either way, you pretty much just have to open the container.

Oh, and go for the full-fat kind because babies need the healthy fats for all that growing they are doing!

And looky there! You’ve just done another 5 foods in no time at all! Homemade baby food quinoa, peaches, avocado, pumpkin and cottage cheese is such a cinch!

Lots of these foods go well together, too: Try mixing the cottage cheese with the peach puree, quinoa and peaches, quinoa and pumpkin, pumpkin and peaches, pumpkin with a little sprinkle of cinnamon. So many possibilities! Here’s my full list of favorite baby food combinations.

I’d love to hear what homemade baby foods you have made and what your little one seems to like best!

XO,

Kathryn

Homemade baby food quinoa, peaches, avocado, pumpkin and cottage cheese - make these 5 easy beginner foods in just 20 minutes! | www.familyfoodonthetable.com

Homemade baby food quinoa, peaches, avocado, pumpkin and cottage cheese are easy, healthy beginner foods for baby and can all be ready in 20 minutes!

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 ripe peaches (or 1 cup frozen or canned peaches)
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1 15 oz. can pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese

Instructions

For the quinoa

  1. Follow the package directions for cooking your quinoa.
  2. Once it's cooked and slightly cooled, you can puree the quinoa for beginner eaters or leave it as is for older babies who are OK with some more texture.

For the peaches

  1. You can buy fresh, ripe peaches to use if they’re in season. Just remove the skin and pit and use your immersion blender to get them smooth and delicious.
  2. Or, if peaches aren’t in season, you can buy frozen peaches, defrost them a bit and puree them with your blender.
  3. Or you can use canned or jarred peaches (packed in water or juice, not heavy syrup and not sugar-free because that means artificial sweeteners have been added), drain them and puree them.

For the avocado

  1. Get a ripe one, open her up, scoop out the insides – minus that big pit — and mash ‘em up good. Such great healthy fats for your growing baby!

For the pumpkin

  1. Open a can of pure pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling). Scoop out some pumpkin. Serve. I serve it plain at first, then after they’ve cleared the first few days with it as a new food, I mix the baby food pumpkin puree with cinnamon and other fruits.

For the cottage cheese

  1. Go for the full-fat kind (growing babies need healthy fats!) When they’re small, puree the cottage cheese with your immersion blender so it’s smooth. When they’re a bit older, you can let them try this as a finger food or with a spoon.

Notes

I have always used and highly recommend a hand-held immersion blender for making homemade baby food.

Homemade baby food can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-5 days or packed up in the freezer (I use ice cube trays and small containers like these and these) for 3-5 months.

Avocado, like banana, doesn’t last that long once you mash it up. I usually do one-half mashed when ready to serve and keep the other half (still in the skin) wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge and mash it up the next day when I’m ready to serve it again.

    I love that you’ve shown multiple dishes can still be made quickly. Too often, I default to a single pureé. Having a variety is healthy and great for developing little palettes. Thx for inspiration! 🙂

      Thanks so much! Yes, I like to maximize my time and get a bunch of individual purees made that I can then use for mixing and matching and making combinations. 😊

    Hi, so glad I found your blog!
    I do have a question, I might be doing double work. So for frozen vegetables (you mentioned frozen peaches) it had me thinking. Do you just defrost and then blend? I bought frozen organic peas and green beans, and I have been steaming them and then pureeing. Also, just in case this helps, I steam, puree then let them cool down and pop them in the freezer. Just curious if I can eliminate the steaming and just defrost the veggies or fruit (frozen). TIA

      Hi Crystal! Frozen fruits you can thaw and puree, since they are already soft and ready to go. Frozen vegetables however, are raw and should be cooked before you serve them to your baby. So you’re doing it just right to steam the peas and green beans first, then puree them and let them cool down before you freeze them. Hope that helps!

    Kathryn your website is amazing, I just stumbled upon it and I’m in deep. I’m reading your posts on introducing foods, when you guide us to make 5 different foods at a time. Do we introduce them in that order? If my babe is eating solids at lunch and dinner, how do choose what to feed when?

    Reply

      September 26, 2018 at 8:27 AM

      Hi Megan! I’m so happy you are finding this to be useful! As far as introducing foods, I have a post (and free printable) on what foods to introduce when. You can check it out here: https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/homemade-baby-food-introducing-solids-schedule-printable/
      You’ll need to introduce one food at a time and wait a few days before introducing another new food, to monitor for allergies/reactions. But after a food has been introduced, you can offer each one at lunch or dinner along with any others that might be good pairings or that would round out the “meal” – such as providing a grain and a vegetable or a fruit and a vegetable. These batch making guides are mostly designed to help make your time in the kitchen efficient but you don’t have to offer these foods in a particular order or together. Oh, and I’ve also got baby food combination ideas here when you’re at that point: https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/homemade-baby-food-combinations/ I hope that helps! 😊
