New meal ideas
I thought it would be fun to share your family's top 5 favorite meals for breakfast lunch and dinner. I am always looking to expand my recipe "portfolio" and get new ideas, so I'd love to hear what others serve at meal time.
Here's ours:
Breakfast:
Fruit and cold cereal
Fruit and oatmeal
Fruit and eggs
Fruit and waffles
And it's a real treat for Luke to have a pop-tart, so occassionaly he has fruit and a pop tart. Our favorite fruits are bananas, apples, grapes, watermelon, catelope, strawberries and peaches.
Lunch:
Leftovers
Cheese quesadilas
PB&J
Cold meat sandwich
Salads
-Some popular extras with lunch is usually string cheese, raisins, carrots, crackers, fruit...sometimes all of them. Oh, and Luke usually gets a few chips if he eats all of his food.

Tacos
BBQ Sandwiches
Spaghetti
Chicken fried rice

My kids are too picky. This summer I have been letting them put together some of their own foods. Seems if they put it together then they are more apt to eat it. Things like baked potatos, fajitas, tacos, and pizzas are great for letting kids pick out their favorite toppings!
