BBQ Chicken Twice-Baked Potatoes

Seeing that this takes five ingredients and 20 minutes to put together had us sold. In fact, if you bake these potatoes at the same time as the sweet potatoes for the shepherd's pie, that makes two meals pre-prepped for the week.

Spaghetti With Broccoli Pesto

This is another fantastic 20-minute meal, the longest portion of which is boiling the water for pasta. Plus, the broccoli makes for a delightful secret ingredient hidden within the nutty pesto.

Cheesy Chicken Broccoli and Rice Casserole

When lacking ideas for a quick meal that will feed an army (or just a family of growing kids), a casserole is always a safe bet. Better yet, with this recipe, you can toss all of the ingredients in the casserole dish itself (no mixing bowl required), sprinkle with the cornflake topping and bake for 30 minutes.

Roasted Veggie Rotini

This recipe is multitasking at its finest (and your kids will never suspect that the pasta is the healthier, whole-grain version, either). While the vegetables roast for about 20 minutes, boil the water for the rotini and prepare the olive oil dressing. Pour all ingredients into a bowl, toss with the dressing and serve with Parmesan cheese.

Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie

This dish gives a little unexpected sweetness to traditional shepherd's pie, thanks to the creamy sweet potato topping. Time-saving tip: Cook the sweet potatoes (which is the most time-consuming part of this recipe) when you use the oven for another dish and then keep refrigerated to make this meal later in the week.
