Monday: Turkey stew
They all liked it.
Tuesday: Couscous and veggies in a savoury chicken broth. (Really? It's a do-over of the turkey stew, only with no turkey, and with the addition of couscous and more vegetables.)
No one disliked it. No one seemed enamoured, either. A workaday, unexceptional meal.
Wednesday: Banana-black bean salad (more sweet than hot)
I lied. It was quite a bit hotter than I expected it to be. I gave them each a mouthful and let them tell me if they wanted more. None of them did. So we had tri-colour fusilli cooked in home-made chicken stock, with a pureed vegetable and Parmesan cheese sauce. They LOVED it. (Pasta is so easy!) Though Owen was a teeny bit disappointed it wasn't macaroni and cheese, he still managed to devour two helpings.
Thursday: Stuffed peppers, corn saute
Friday: Spaghetti and meatballs. (The meal my family's eating on Thursday, which I am not serving to your children, is mushroom ragu. Mushrooms are pretty universally loathed in this group of tots. I just don't think I'll do that to them... :) )
