The perfect meal list whether you're want to make it a low-key cooking night, or get your kids involved and in control of their meal. Sometimes when the kids have more of a say, they also have more of an appetite. Typically I'll ask them to choose at least X number of veggies to include in their meal.
- Mini Pizza Night - Prep it all, have it laid out and ready for building.
- Small Naan bread, Pita, Bobbolli, or make your own dough.
- Toppings
- Mexican Rice Bowl - Cook the rice, prep the ingredients... everyone picks their favorites
- Rice, possibly blend some cooked quinoa in if you have it on hand.
- Protein: Chicken, Black Beans, Pinto Beans
- Veggies: Tomatoes, green/white/red onions, bell peppers, avocado, romaine
- Topping - Cheese ( I try to keep these as a light topping, and not a main feature.. these are typically the least healthy of ingredients), crumbled tortilla chips, or baked tortilla strips.
- Fancy It up - Favorite Mexican dressing - Creamy lime-cilantro (I swap in olain, unsweetened almond milk to make it dairy free)
- Baked Potato Night - Scrub, rub in olive oil, & sea salt, fork and bake at 400 for about an hour. Or cook in the Crockpot
- Bacon/Broccoli/Cheddar/Onion/Sour cream/Tofutti
- Mexican style - See Mexican rice bowl, but top a tater.
