“The undisputed champion of hot dogs.”

Creamy and sweet.

I’ve been cooking family dinner for several years now, and despite a rigorous meal planning routine I still find there are days (or weeks) where I just can’t figure out what to feed my family. Here are 40 of our favorite family meals — a list that includes everything from classic beef chili and chicken parmesan to broccoli cheddar orzo — that you can pin, bookmark, or save for those nights when you need a dinner recipe that the whole family will love.

Your fridge (and wallet) will thank you.

Few things are as satisfying as that first bite of a rich, creamy chocolate ice cream (especially on a hot summer day). But with so many pints lining the grocery aisle these days, it’s not always easy to know which one is truly worth making room in the freezer for. Unless, of course, you gather a group of chocolate ice cream lovers to taste them all… Which is what we did.

It works EVERY time.

Bright, zesty, and impossibly creamy.

Family favorites for a cozy dinner.

From easy recipes to store-bought favorites, these dips might actually be magic.

It’s never tasted better.

The reality doesn't always match the hype.

Cheesy and delicious.
