Help! My family doesn’t like spaghetti! – Hive and Nest

I’m seriously in need of some culinary help.  I need some quick and easy dinner recipes.  Actually they don’t even have to be easy.  All I’m asking for is quick.

I’ve been baking and decorating up a storm, not to mention spending most evenings at Christmas events, and my poor family has been feeling the effects.  This weekend alone I had to make over twelve dozen cookies for various functions.  As much as my kids say they’d like cookies for every meal, it’s not true.  They actually want healthy food occasionally.  Believe me, I’m as surprised as you are.  

Last night I had Finn make dinner while I was finally putting up the last of my Christmas lights (kind of late to be doing that, but they were sitting in a heap on my front porch mocking me. Plus it was really warm out and I had to take advantage).  All he made was quesadillas.  That’s it.  I forgot to tell him to serve some fruits or veg too.  Or rather I assumed that since he’s been eating meals at my house for all these years that he would have picked up that little tidbit.  But no.  Just quesadillas.  With a side of chocolate from the advent calendar (Finn is only ten, so I shouldn’t be surprised.)

So if you have a tasty meal that can be ready pretty fast, post it on your blog and send me a link.  I’ll post them all. I’m not the only one staring at the clock at 6 pm saying, “oh crap”, right?  Right?
