Tonight I am going to have the kids try taco's and chicken fajitas. They love chicken wings so I will put some of those on too. They have always turned their noses up at stuff like tacos but they like nachos and dh and I were trying to tell them how much they would like tacos so tonight that's dinner. :)

I took pork chops out, so I might do them in the oven with a cream soup and a homemade stuffing crust.

We haven't been eating out as much because I scour this site for interesting recipes. I got some really good ones that the family raves about. It is also fun to try out different things.

Brichard found recipes for eggplant lasagna and a carrot souffle he wants me to try.

We are having broccoli & cheese soup for dinner tonight.

Going to Wendy's for a baked potato and some of their Chili, :licklips: or I might opt for one of their salads instead.

Mel, what do your kids think tacos are that they dislike them so much?

They have never cared for anything mixed or tomatoes so they have always turned their noses up. I think they are finally looking forward to having them. Ds3 won't be a problem, he's open to anything as long as the others keep opinions to themselves. :)

I would always notice that with my day care kids... ONE child could say something or turn their nose up at something, and the rest of them would follow their lead. LOL Use to tick me off... :lol: I made the rule that there would be no faces or comments made... and everyone was always a lot more willing to eat what was put in front of them.

It was great! Double the sauce recipe though. I added red pepper, ****ake mushrooms with the brocolli. I also added a lid to the food for 5 extra minutes to help steam the veggies.

I'm glad you liked it. I'm going to have to try to remember this recipe the next time I want to make something different... :) I'm still wanting to try out that brisket too.

I just looked at this and the type of mushrooms I used is blocked out! LMAO! I guess the first 4 letters is a swear word and won't print. That is too funny!

Well the boys loved the tacos. Funny but if I tried to serve them a couple of years ago or even one year, they would not have like them. Now, if they would only eat chili and lasagna....:)

I'm glad they finally liked them. LOL What is it about chili and lasagna that they don't like? Maybe in a year or two they'll realize just how good those are too. :)
