Last night I skipped making dinner to finish cleaning my oven. Dad wasn't going to be home so I promised the children to take them to Chik-fil-a if they cleaned up the living and family rooms while I cleaned the kitchen. Once that was done, we were off. We all ate chicken, waffle fries, and cookie and cream milkshakes. After eating what I deemed appropriate, they got to play on the playground.
Dinner and exercise. They went to bed well. :)

Hot Dogs
Tonight was a simple night. We had Hot Dogs. The children like theirs microwaved. I like mine fried on the stove. So I did both. Actually dad and I ate Polish Sausages and the kids had hot dogs; also a matter of preference. Veggie=raw baby carrots. Fruit=banana.
dad-3 polish sausages with catsup, mustard, & onions on buns; 8 carrots with ranch, half a banana
daughter7-1 hot dog, 5 carrots with ranch, half a banana
son5-1 hot dog with catsup, 5 carrots with ranch, apple sauce (didn't want a banana)
son3-a few bites of hot dog, 5 carrots with ranch, half banana
mom-1 polish sausage with catsup, mustard, & onion, 8 carrots, half a banana
Everyone liked it and was super simple to do, which I liked. Had a few kids try to leave the table before finishing their fruit or vegetable, but they came back to eat them. I guess that is what consistence gets you.

Pasta with Tomatoes and Parmesan
Today was Pasta with Tomatoes and Parmesan. I cooked rainbow rotini and cut up tomatoes. Green beans (both from a can and freeze-dried) was the vegetable; and apple sauce was the fruit.
dad-rotini, tomatoes, parmesan, freeze-dried green beans, and apple sauce
daughter7-rotini with parmesan and apple sauce, ate tomatoes for vegetable
son5-rotini with parmesan, canned green beans, and apple sauce (2x)
son3-rotini with parmesan (2x), canned green beans, apple sauce (2x)
mom-piled rotini, freeze-dried green beans, tomatoes, and parmesan on top of each other; apple sauce
Everyone ate well. I thought it wasn't as good as normal, but I was also eating it cold. I don't like cold food. Daughter7 used to eat green beans really well. I had green beans I canned from my garden for many years and have recently ran out. I am wondering if she got so used to that taste that she doesn't like any other kinds. She will eat them, but she fusses about it in the process. There certainly won't be any home canned green beans in the house for a while.

Cheesy Hamburger
Yesterday we had Cheesy Hamburger. I browned up a pound of hamburger with dried minced onions, salt, and pepper. After it browned, I added about 7 slices of Velveeta Cheese. We ate it on Hamburger buns. Veggie was broccoli; fruit was apple sauce. Chips were available if fruit and veggie were eaten.
daughter7-ate half hamburger bun worth, apple sauce, the tops of her broccoli, and chips
son5-ate 1 1/2 buns worth with catsup, apple sauce, and broccoli
son3-ate 1 bun worth with catsup,apples sauce, broccoli, and chips
mom-ate one with potato chips on it, apple sauce, broccoli, and chips
It went over better than I expected.
