I am not sure why they call it summer break as I seem to be busier during the summer than I am during the school year. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that the nice weather makes us want to get out of the house more often. No reason to be stuck in the house when we can be out enjoying the season.
I find that when it comes to cooking, I aim to get in and out of the kitchen as quickly as possible too. I have found tricks to serving up a tasty dinner that reduces my prep/cook time dramatically!
Since we are often already outside, I will have my husband fire up the grill and we'll enjoy a meal out on the patio. This helps keep my house cool since I am not using the oven and an added bonus is that my kitchen stays nice and clean. When it comes to the side dishes, I'll often have my husband add veggies to the grill with the meats. Sometimes I'll just serve up a simple salad and then other times I take advantage of time savers like Veetee Rice. My family gets a great meal and there's little to no cleanup which comes in pretty handy on a busy summer night.

I love to use the crock pot for easy dinners. It makes it so much easier in the evenings to have the meat already cooked and ready to go. I love the Veetee rice, because it is so good and it’s quick and easy to heat up for dinner.
I cook alot of meals in the crock pot. They are ready to be served when I get home.
I always like to get the dishes that I am finished with when cooking into the dishwasher…that way I have less to clean up after eating!
I love Veetee Rice because it is so quick and easy to prepare! Plus it tastes really good – my favorites are the Basmati and the Thai Jasmine
I cook a lot of one dish meals and Veetee Rice is the perfect side.
So very convenient to have Veetee Rice available to serve with a quick and easy dinner! Thai Jasmine and Basmati are so yummy, too.
love the basmati rice with Indian recipes
A rotisserie chicken from the deli department always comes to mind when I need something quick and easy. It can be used so many ways!
For a super quick dish I warm Short Cuts chicken & a jar of gravy to serve over the Veetee rice.
Heck, sometimes we just eat the Veetee alone for a snack!
This rice looks yummy.
For a quick meal I throw chicken on the grill and serve over rice with a salad. I have not tried Veetee rice yet, but it looks good.
Wraps are a favorite for us- especially on sports nights.
We have lots of taco days- quickly seared meat plus chopped veggies, cheese for fixings. Can be messy with 3 and 5 yo but fun!
Crock pt or we grill chicken super easy
I would love to try this rice!
Making things (like rice) in the pressure cooker save me lots of time!
Great quick side dish!!!
My granddaughter loves rice.
I love this rice and recently introduced the Brown rice variety to our son who really enjoys it. He actually takes it to work along with a packet of fish or chicken and enjoys an easy, healthy lunch.
I keep packages of pre-cooked rice and canned beef stew in my desk at work for a nice hot meal on days when I do not have time to get out of the office for lunch. Warm them up, mix them together, and enjoy!
