Kid Friendly Meals

Hi Friends!

It's been a while, this hockey mom has been a busy gal!  We've had graduations, birthdays, back to school, the return of hockey season.  And it's all just beginning!

I was looking for some kid friendly crock pot meals for our Tuesday & Wednesday early practice nights.  Practice starts at 5:30 on those nights and I figured why not embrace my crock pot.  One problem: My youngest two children tend not to eat ANYTHING that comes out of my crock pot.  So what do I do?  I Google "kid friendly crock pot recipes".  Here is what I get:

• Slow Cooker Squash Lasagna
• Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Mushroom Pot Pie
• Slow Cooker Smoky Pea Soup
• Slow Cooker Spinach Enchiladas

Clearly, these children, the ones who eat these recipes, have never met my children.  Seriously people??  Who's kids eat that?  I want to shake their hand and personally hand over my mother-of-the-year award to them.    This has added fuel  my quest to create some kid-friendly & practical everyday recipes that meet two key requirements:

1. Use ingredients that real kids will actually eat.
2. Use ingredients that can be regularly found in your grocery store.

So, that is my goal.  I'm going to try and post one kid-tested recipe a week starting next week.  Next week because this will involve a trip to Wegmans and that isn't scheduled until after the second game on Saturday.  :)

Any suggestions as to what I should start with?  Anything you're looking to try out with your kiddos?
