What's for Dinner? (25)

What's for Dinner is a little insight into my life for you every Monday night. I carefully plan out meals for the week ahead of time and do my shopping over the weekend.  So I wanted to start sharing with you one of the recipes or dinners I am most looking forward to each week.
 
 
 
So sometimes as a busy mom who works full time and takes care of all the house chores, a battle over dinner just isn't worth it and I resort to tried and tested favorites of all kids.
 
Mac N Cheese (especially shells n cheese) is a favorite.  Thankfully Munchkin loves his veggies and I just have to ask him what he wants that night, this time he asked for peas.  He never really liked chicken nuggets, like every other kid in the world, until we gave him Dinosaur Nuggets.  He now proudly announces to the dinosaur that he is going to eat its head or tail.  I have been having to make sure his Elmo cup is full of Apple Cider (watered down) every night otherwise there is a meltdown of epic proportions.
 
 
 
Of course my dinner was accompanied by the newest Scholastic Book order form! Those things are like a drug for me, so so dangerous LOL!

    1. haha, my thing when I didn't have kids was crackers and cheese or soft pretzels with ranch dip. I guess having a kid has made me eat healthier meals.
