If you're busy juggling your job, your kids, PTA meetings, lunch with the girls and time with your husband, it may seem like you never have the time to sit down and prepare a real dinner for your family. If you're tired of serving boxed mac and cheese or spending a fortune on take-out and delivery, why not try these quick, easy and delicious tricks? You'll have time to enjoy it after you get your daughter from ballet practice or before your son's basketball game.

If a recipe calls for chicken, instead of roasting, sauteing or grilling it yourself, why not pick up a whole rotesserie chicken from the grocery store? Already cooked and delicious, you can use every part of this bird - from the thighs to the wings to the drumsticks - in various recipes. Best of all, the leftovers are amazing for lunch sandwiches you can send your kids off to school with.

Instead of making your own pasta sauces, just pick up a jar from the store. Sure, store-bought pesto or marinara isn't quite as delicious as your own recipe, but you'll save a bundle of time - and trust us, your kids will still love your ravioli. For a massive time-saver, make a dish that cooks all in one pot. Pot roast, stews and casseroles are great examples of yummy, filling dinners that are a breeze to clean up!
