[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello -

I am really struggling to cook healthy meals for my family.   My husband doesn’t cook so it’s left to me. I work part-time (but seems full time these days) and I just feel like I am trying to figure meals out throughout the week and last-minute. I know there’s meal planning on Sundays but we like to spend that day as a family. Does anyone have suggestions on what works for them or is there a website you recommend with easy recipes? With school pickup, activities, work etc, it’s been hard getting healthy foods on the table.  [/quote]

I'm similar to you - working to get dinner organized and under control. I have an air fryer and instant pot. I find the air fryer more useful than the instant pot - here are my favorite air fryer recipes for getting dinner on the table:

Asian Chicken Thighs - my kids LOVE this. We make a double batch and they take it for lunch. You do have to plan ahead a little bit because they need to marinate. While the chicken cooks you can do some simple green beans and I get frozen rice in the bags from Trader Joe's.

Air fryer chicken legs - also a big hit with the kids - and almost no prep other than the chicken being fresh or thawed:

Also, a whole chicken in the air fryer - this turned out really well:

For green beans, broccoli, you can also do those in the air fryer with a little seasoning. Otherwise, I saute them with some garlic and olive oil and then maybe throw in some almond with the green beans or lemon or dash of chili flakes with the broccoli.
