Dinnertime!

I don't know about any of you, but I have the hardest time coming up with dinners that my 4 kids will eat that Mommy and Daddy will enjoy too! They're not overly picky eaters, but they each have their own quirks. Madison has gotten to the point where she will at least take a "Try It" bite of something new. Ethan is a Carnivore who's only acceptable veggie is broccoli. Riley and Abby are Herbivores and I have to bribe them to eat meat. They are also the only ones that will try any kind of sauce.  NONE of them will eat anything casserole/crock pot style where everything is mixed together.

The other night I made a meal that I HOPED everyone would enjoy. Ground Beef was the Meat Du Jour and that is usually the most difficult for me to please everyone with. So this is what I came up with.

Italian Stuffed Peppers for Mommy and Daddy



And Mini Meatballs for the Kiddos

The kiddos were thrilled! Apparently Mini Meatballs on toothpicks are the coolest dinner ever!





Unfortunately, that was the extent of their coolness. When it came down to actually eating the fun little tidbits, it was business as usual. My Carnivores, Ethan and Madison, gobbled them up. My Herbivores, Riley and Abby, couldn't be swayed.

Anyone else have this problem? I'll take any tips I can get!
