So, what kind of drama am I talking about? Not the fun and amusing kind. More like my 7you throwing up because he’s thought about the food in front of him for so long he’s psyched himself out.
When I decided to make the Simple & Delicious Angel Hair Pasta featured as a side dish at Barber Foods, I figured there’d be drama involved. Guess what? There wasn’t. My 11yo isn’t a noodle eater so I didn’t even offer it to him, but my 7yo, the puker, scooped a spoonful onto his plate. To say I cringed would be putting it mildly.
I mean, hello, it had tomatoes and spinach in it!! Green and red colors in noodles. This was not going to go well. frozen, cooked, and eaten
Get this, the puker ate it ALL. Ok, he neglected to scoop up the tomatoes, but he ate the spinach with NO drama! I kept telling him how proud I was of him with every bite I took. My boys are starting to see that if they try something and don’t like it, that’s ok. It’s the fact that they even try something that makes the difference.
Check out Barber Foods recipes section of the site for a complete list of succulent side dishes and sauces here: http://bit.ly/aLqEKY
*As a side note, these make fantastic meals for college students. My daughter can take them out of the box and stick them in her little mini-fridge freezer.

ReplyDeleteMy latest dinner drama was with my 1 year old - we had a late dinner that was so late it was already past her normal bed time. I gave her some pizza and she knocked the plate on the ground and started crying:( She was put into her crib and fell asleep within 2 mins! sheshult@Hotmail.com

ReplyDeleteMy last minute dinner drama is always about getting my middle child to finish his dinner. When he doesn't like something, he's stubborn enough to sit in front of his plate for hours.

I browned chop meat and was boiling water to make spaghetti with meat sauce. I went to the cabinet to get a jar of spaghetti sauce and there was none. My daughter used it when she made mozarella sticks. I had to have my husband run out to get a jar. Thanks!

One of our dinner dramas recently was when we didn't get a chance to go grocery shopping and not having much in the house, we ended up having cereal for dinner. The kids thought it was great.

ReplyDeleteA few Thanksgivings ago we put the frozen turkey on a high shelf in the garage to thaw. Our big dog sleeps in the garage. We were sure the shelf was high enough. Well, Thanksgiving morning we went to get the turkey and there was nothing left except scraps of plastic and pieces of bones! Our dog had eaten the turkey!! So we ended up having just side dishes for Thanksgiving! lol! ;)

My last-minute dinner drama was when my father-in-law and his wife were visiting and I made lasagna, garlic toast with parmesan cheese, and chocolate cheesecake for dessert. I had completely forgotten that my father-in-law HATES cheese, so we went and bought some KFC for him.

We live in the sticks so if I don't check to see if we have everything we need before I start cooking we have a drama, and it happens quite often. There are no stores for 15 minutes, or at least one that is open past dark. Lol. I have made some pretty gnarly stuff in the past trying to substitute other things we were missing. lol. Not my specialty obviously.
