Hi there! I’m Carey from the blog Clean Eating with Kids. In 2015, our family of 6 made the move to a Clean Eating lifestyle. To keep it simple, everything we eat begins with whole, real food ingredients. Like most families, life is busy, kids can be fussy and my vegetable garden only exists in my dreams (for now). I still shop at our Supermarket. I don’t make everything from scratch and prefer meals I can prep in 20 minutes or less.

FAST AND HEALTHY DINNER
Since becoming a Mom, FAST has a whole new meaning. At around 6:05 pm, kids get hungry and things can turn ugly real quickly. I’ve learned this the hard way. So, I’m a big fan of dinners that can be prepped in under 30 minutes. This little recipe tops that!
You can get these Fish Foil Packets on the table in 15 minutes flat (Quick Disclaimer: this doesn’t include the few minutes needed to heat up the grill).
Foil Packet Dinner Hack
Once you’ve tried the whole foil parcel dinner thing, you will be hooked! My kids go nuts for them. And best of all there are no after-dinner dishes to wash.
A couple of things about this recipe:
- You can cook your parcels in the oven, on an open grill, or outside barbecue (we cook ours on our Baby Weber BBQ)
- Foil Parcels can be prepped earlier in the day, kept in the fridge, and cooked later
- No clean-up (Yay!)
- Super Versatile – you can add any other veggies you have in the fridge, or even better – let the kids make their own.
- I like to double up on the foil if I’m cooking these on the outside grill just in case the foil tears. You want to keep all those yummy juices inside.
