Dinner Time – Change of Scenery
Have you noticed that sometimes when you add a slight twist to a normal activity it can make it super special for the kids? Occasionally we mixed things up a bit around our house just for fun. Our girls don’t watch a lot of TV so when they do watch a movie or show it is a special treat for them. We have found that after a busy week sometimes all you need to do is have a quiet evening with your family to unwind and relax.
It has been a crazy few months around our house so Jake & I decided to make up some of the kids favorite foods, put them on their TV / travel plate and eat while watching a movie together. The girls were super excited! Typically, we stop what we are doing for a family meal but as a treat every couple of months we’ll switch it up a bit and eat in front of the TV. While this meal may not be the most well balanced ones we have made it does have variety, it was simple to put together, we used up some items we had on hand, and most importantly the family enjoyed it.
On the Menu:
- Cheesy Noodles (as the girls call them) Mac & Cheese
- Yogurt Stick
- Canned Peaches
- Fresh Clementine
- Slices of Summer Sausage
- Cashews
