What's for Dinner?


The kids are becoming totally unruly at dinner. Tonight I served Parmesan Couscous -- so tasty, easy to make, inexpensive, and FUN TO SAY!!!! Only one of the three of them even tasted it! I should be happy since I got to eat more than I planned!

Tomorrow night we'll be having beef ravioli -- not from a can -- I am way more sophisticated and serve it from the frozen bag! It is quite tasty, and although I don't expect it to be a crowd-pleaser, at least it will be quick and easy! Why slave over a hot stove when they hardly eat it anyway? Here is a list of my easy and quick dinners (I always serve with some kind of veggies from a steamfresh pouch):

  • Boca chicken patties sliced up
  • Frozen ravioli
  • Perogies (from the frozen food section as well)
  • Fish sticks
  • Broiled tilapia (add a squeeze of lemon, dash of salt and pepper and broild for 10 minutes)
  • Pasta noodles with spray butter and Parmesan cheese (they have started refusing tomato sauce)
  • Macaroni and cheese - not frequently but it is so darn cheap!!!
  • Pizza (served with salad)
  • Chili - I make a big batch and freeze the leftovers -- I get 3 meals out of this and they love it because I serve it with shredded cheddar and Fritos
  • Pancakes with scrambled eggs - I make a big batch of pancaked (whole whate from aunt Jamima mix) and freeze them so they can be zapped and served
Other suggestions?
