My kids love things from the crockpot - pulled pork, chili or taco meat for burritos. They also love fettucini alfredo, salmon and cheeseburgers with side salad. Lots of grilled veggies and fresh fruit on the side. How about your family?

I love the crock pot!  I feel like I don't have enough good recipes for it though. Some of our favorites are chicken picatta, popcorn shrimp, tacos, quiche, and chicken pot pie.


Mommy Ramblings

We eat a variety of things which also changes with the seasons. Some of our favorites are pulled pork, chili, pasta with sausage or meatballs, steaks, chops, shrimp scampi, tilapia, lemon chicken, philly cheesesteaks, cheese burgers, pizza.

We love meatballs and tilapia too! Thanks for the ideas!

My boys love chicken and rice. That is usually the go to meal when they pick what we are eating for the night. However, during the school year we also do a ton of crockpot cooking too.

Our favorites change with the season. We're entering fall which means homemade chicken pot pie, chicken cacciatore, minestrone and Wisconsin Chedddar Cheese soup are big hits!


Your Kid's Table

We've never done chedar cheese soup, that sounds great and I bet would be a big hit here too, as well!

We love tacos, enchiladas, bbq (lately) and my son is big on pasta.


Your Kid's Table

Yes, pasta is definitely a stable here too!

Breakfast for dinner is always a hit — we can't go wrong with that one and that's saying a lot since my family never agrees on what to eat for dinenr!

We love breakfast for dinner too.  Mom likes it because it's often pretty quick to put on the table too.


beachcitymom

same here...I love breakfast anytime. :) Pancakes are a hit every once in awhile for dinner.


Your Kid's Table

Oh yes! The kids love that and we haven't done it in a while!

I need ideas! We do tacos every week but beyond that is difficult because I have no appetite and therefore do not care at all what we eat. My husband is training for Ironman so eats like two people but isn't always home for dinner because of training. So dinner is very difficult to plan.

It is really hard when your health is affected. I had a very limited diet for two years and it was really challenging.  The kids used to say, "Where's Mommy's lettuce," if I was at the table with anything else.

My kids are teens and they still are thrilled with breakfast for dinner. We recently added fettucini alfredo and cheesy potatoes with chicken to our list. The cheesy potatoes are hashbrowns, sour cream, cheddar cheese and some butter and baked. I only do this once or twice a year but they LOVE it!


Your Kid's Table

Oh yes, I've had the dish before! It is really good. It is really chilly here today (suddenly) so I'm making butternut squash soup and bacon sandwiches for dinner.


beachcitymom

Yum! The cheesy potatoes sound good!
