Anyone else suck at cooking?

My wife's at a thing with her friends so I'm supposed to cook dinner for the kids tonight. I can grill fine but actual cooking? I'm lost. Thinking of just doing pasta and frozen meatballs but that feels lazy. Looking for something simple that won't be a disaster. Kids are 7, 10, and 13. Help?

Dude, same here. My go-to move is pasta with a jar sauce and some ground beef mixed in - kids love it and it takes like 20 minutes. Or throw some chicken in the oven with veggies, way easier than the grill.

Honestly, this is a perfect chance to get the kids involved. We do taco night when my wife's out and the boys help assemble everything. Takes the pressure off you and they actually eat what they made.

If all else fails, breakfast for dinner works great. Pancakes and eggs are hard to mess up and the kids think it's a treat. I've saved myself more than once with that move.
