Man do you guys go through those ruts with your kiddos where they just aren’t digging what’s for dinner? It drives me insane…especially since I’ve taken the time and effort to cook them a meal that, in my opinion, there is no reason not to like.
While both of my kids are typically always willing to try something new, that’s never a guarantee that a meal is going to be a success. They both have such different quirks when it comes to eating. Georgia…she’s just a nut. She’s the girl that could eat most steamed vegetables for every meal of every day. Put steamed green beans, broccoli or cauliflower tossed in a bit of butter in front of her and it’s always a sure thing…. and sprinkle on a little cheese and she will eat any human under the table. But what I’ve learned about her is she is a texture girl. She doesn’t love foods with different textures mixed together like in casseroles or soups. And too much sauce on anything totally grosses her out. Explain that one to me, the sauce/condiment-obsessed gal.
And then theres Jude. I mean who really knows with him. Everyday I get something different…and I think thats pretty typical of his age. One day he absolutely loves a dish, the next he can’t get past the first bite and refuses to eat any more. Picking my battles over here.
But this chicken has absolutely never failed me with either child. It’s nothing fancy…actually…it’s just the opposite. But it’s easy…and my kids absolutely love it…and, actually, Nick and I do, too…so you better believe it’s going to stay in the rotation until they change their minds. Continue reading
How about this weather, friends? It’s so random this time of year. Mornings feel like fall at its finest: cool, crisp air perfect for that cozy sweater. Head into afternoon and the sun is blazing and the temps are rising forcing you to tear that sweater off as quickly as you can. Part summer, part fall, no?
You aren’t going to believe these. Truly.
And then let’s talk about how much more healthful they are than your typical store-bought white sugar packed peanut butter chocolate granola bars.
Boy oh boy it’s been a while. How was your long weekend? As I told you last time we chatted, we took a little road trip to visit my family down in Iowa and Nebraska and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to close out the summer. It was time so well spent…with my parents, my siblings and their families. Late nights, early mornings, donuts, happy kiddo giggles, mama’s homecooking, pool parties, coffee, pedicures…I mean it was just plain wonderful. And now…school begins! What a way to head into a new year, hearts full as all get out.
This salad has been happening since my husband and I were dating. It very well could be the reason he asked me to marry him. And if it is, I am totally okay with that. I will keep feeding him this for better or worse, as long as we both shall live. Of course, as long as he shares with me.
