I’ve come to really enjoy having a loose idea of what I can make, getting all these supplies, and then just rolling with it.
This one took me a while to decide on, but once I did it was easy to get the kids involved. Turkey apple meatballs with onions. Roasted broccoli and cauliflower. Underneath all that, and the Parmesan cheese, is three kinds of pasta with red sauce. Just what was hanging around. It was delicious and a big hit!

The kids always love cheddar broccoli eggs. The poor sweet potatoes, though. They were good, but the onions kind of wrecked it. This time the middle one helped out and we got it done in time for her to eat and get back to class for FID (school on a snow day).

This meal doesn’t look like much, but it was all around amazing. Somewhere in there is a baked potato that was split in half, covered by sautéed broccoli, corn, and kidney beans, and topped with cheese. If I hadn’t hit the end of my energy limit, I would have made this with ground beef the night before. But I did, and I slept instead of cooking, and the meat went bad. Beans it is!
