Georgia So this was my week to choose the food challenge and while Nikita and her husband are in Russia for the World Cup their son Christopher is hanging out with us. I thought I would do my best to make some kid friendly meals. I made this very easy and not too shabby spaghetti dish. Both the kid and the husband liked it well enough. It's called meatball spaghetti dump casserole. Make or buy your meatballs. cook whatever pasta you like. Place it all in a casserole, pour over spaghetti sauce cover with mozzarella or in my case whatever in is the fridge. Place in a 350 oven for about a half hour. Serve.. Taadaa!! JenThis is not a recipe, per se, but it is a kid friendly food idea I like to use in my house! Food…that looks like something else. Rather than buy special ingredients to make it happen, use whatever you have on hand and/or whatever is in season. My younger daughter asked for a lion, which normally would result in me making one lion, but for the sake of this blog, my older daughter and I put together a few! We could have gone on…maybe a macaroni and cheese mane as another idea, but I was too hungry to continue. :) Some look more like lions than others, but the beauty of it is that the kid(s) eating it don’t really care!! 1 – Orange, banana, pineapple, raisins 2 – Orange, Cheetos (Lol), banana, pineapple, olive 3 – Pineapple, carrot, orange, banana, olives 4 – Hummus, crackers, raisins, cheese In other news, last week I made pirozhki for the Russian food challenge, and while I was dissatisfied with the rolls, I still had leftover filling to use. I ended up mixing them both together (ground turkey, cabbage + bean), and using it in a quesadilla with mozzarella cheese. Pirozhki quesadilla. Priozhkadilla??? Lol Anyway, it was a big hit. I should have taken pictures. And I should write it down in my recipe book. DELICIOUS. :) Jen NikitaAmyIf there's one thing I hate more than kids it's kid friendly food! So that's a lie. I tolerate children and I will occasionally f up some chicken nuggets. If I've learned anything about children as picky eaters it's that we made them that way. It's our fault! Though one meal kids seem to do well with is breakfast. Even there you get the occasional kid who won't eat a fried egg if the edges are burnt. I call that child weirdo. I found a slight twist on French toast that seemed like a kid might eat it. And here it is: It's pretty obvious who has small people in their home on a regular basis. Jen's kid friendly foods are the cutest.
Until next week when it's Jen's choice Georgia, Jen, Nikita and Amy
