Five Meals Kids LOVE

I have to say that my little Ry isn't a picky eater. He has always been an eating champ. The kid still loves brocoli. Loves it. Can't get enough of the stuff. 

But, as he has gotten older he has gotten a little more "perticular." Yeah, that's a good word, perticular. For example he will not, under any circumstances, eat mac and cheese that is not homemade. He won't even eat it from the deli. 

However, I have come up with some home cooked meals he loves. I thought I would share some of his favorite meals. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Creamy Sausage Stuffed Shells

So this is kind of a funny story. 

Last week when I made our meal plan I totally miscalculated everything we had in our freezer. When I went to pull some chicken out for Monday's meal I realized all we had was sausage. Three different types of frozen sausage!

I told my husband I was NOT going back to the store so I hoped he liked sausage. He didn't complain. 

So I whipped this up and boy was it good. Creamy Sausage Stuffed Shells.

Almond Crusted Tilapia

I love fish. And the summer is just the perfect time to eat fish, right? It's too hot to really cook and it's too hot to eat a heavy meal. So what is light and filling and healthy and easy to cook? Fish!

I love tilapia, which has really grown in popularity recently because of it's reasonable price. It's the fish I use in my tacos.

Jason's Amazin' Onion Straws

There is something so extraordinarily good about living in the south. It's the produce. I think the heat and humidity make for more flavorful produce. 

Have you ever had a Vidalia onion? Seriously! While true Vidalia onion onions come from Vidalia, GA there is a farmer down the road from me who also grows amazing Vidalia onions. They can be procured seven days a week at our local farmer's market.

Put Chuck to Work, Getting all the Bang for Your Ground Beef

Let's face it meat is expensive. Remember when you could get ground beef for $.99 a pound? Yeah, neither do I. What's a good price for ground beef? Who knows anymore?

Personally I could go months without meat, but my husband I think would wander into the woods to find a wild animal to kill with his bare hands after about three days.
