Do you have a slow cooker?  

This kitchen gadget has saved me so much money spent on drive-thru kids' meals!  I usually start a meal before I go to work, so we when daddy comes home all he has to do is dish it out!  Chili, soup, pulled pork, chicken or beef, stews-even frozen meals can be cooked in your slow cooker!  Almost anything can be cooked in a slow cooker with a few modifications.  So dust off that old slow cooker sitting on your fridge and get to cooking the easy way!  Nothing beats a homemade meal without all the slaving over a hot stove all day.  Your house will smell wonderful and your kids will be getting better food than those fried chicken nuggets and french fries.  

There are tons of sites that feature kid-friendly recipes.

Here are a few sites to get you started:
