Life with three kids is like trying to balance on a tightrope while juggling flaming torches. It’s a whirlwind of school drop-offs, homework sessions, and endless football practices and matches. As a parent, you’re always on the move—packing bags, tying shoelaces, and ensuring no one forgets their water bottle. It’s a beautiful chaos, but when you're constantly bouncing between activities, the last thing you have time for is cooking an elaborate meal.
This is where the art of the super-fast meal comes in. There are days when I dream of having the time to prepare a slow-cooked meal, but more often than not, reality wins. Dinner needs to be on the table fast, and that’s okay! Sometimes, you just need to take the easy way out, and honestly? Some of the easiest meals are also the biggest crowd-pleasers in our house.
One of our go-to’s? Macaroni with sausage, ketchup, mustard, and a sprinkle of roasted onion. It’s not fancy, but it’s hearty and comforting, and—best of all—it’s a favorite with the kids. Plus, there’s something so nostalgic about it that it makes me feel like a kid again, too.
Another all-star on those crazy football nights is the simple but unbeatable korv med bröd—sausage in bread, with ketchup (and maybe mustard, if I’m feeling fancy). You can’t go wrong with it. It’s quick, portable, and ideal for those evenings when you’re racing from one place to another and need a meal the kids can eat in the car. No plates, no mess, just grab and go.
The best part? The kids love it! These meals aren’t just convenient for me—they're kid-approved, which makes dinner time less of a battle. On those hectic days when I’m tempted to feel guilty about not preparing something more “nutritious,” I remind myself that feeding happy, satisfied kids is what truly matters. And hey, sometimes you need the fast and easy option, especially when life moves at the speed of football drills.
Enjoy!
