Trying to get something healthy into the kids before they head out trick-or-treating? To keep them from filling up on too much of the sugary stuff while they’re traipsing through the neighborhood, the #1 goal is a dinner that’s quick, tasty, and nourishing. We took on the challenge and prepped a list of dinners that can be made ahead, or whip up in 30 minutes or less. These family-friendly meals will fill you up without wasting precious trick-or-treating time at the stove!
