I recently added a new member to my family and am now a mother of 4. Life is going pretty well, except I find that my afternoon and evenings are a nightmare. Picking up kids and then trying to soothe a hungry baby who is having his fussy period of the day, on top of managing homework and normal day to day meltdowns of the younger set leave dinner time a bit hectic.
Although I like to think that I typically "have it all together" mentally... lately "new mommy brain" has settled in and I can't seem to think clearly when I need to, namely at dinner time. Dinner needs to be quick, tasty, and kid-friendly. (extra emphasis on the quick!) DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY RECIPES TO SHARE? PLEASE?
My crock-pot is my friend when I am busy!! A simple recipe that we do, is just put some chicken breasts in the crock-pot (can be frozen) and dump some BBQ sauce over. Cook most of the day, then shred and put on buns--our own little BBQ chicken sandwiches. If my kids don't want the bun, they just eat the bbq chicken. Hope this helps and good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think it was your family who introduced me to Pita sandwiches. That might be something. I'll keep thinking.
ReplyDeleteGrilled PB&J (you can even make it faster by throwing them in the toaster oven). That's just a quick lunch, will try to think of some good dinners :-)
