My children are not adventurous eaters. We live far enough away from a big metropolis that we are not able to expose the children to a variety of food types. Truth be told I am not an adventurous eater, either.
I have a few Indian dishes that I like. On our trip to England this summer, I met up with my friend from primary school at an Indian restaurant in Hammersmith, London. Before ordering I asked my friend what she recommended as a “safe” dish for me…she steered me towards a platter with a variety of Indian dishes…most were mild or medium.
Other nationalities of food are foods that I would try once and never have again. Ethiopian is one such food. I visited the Red Sea in Washington, D.C., many years ago with college friends. One friend loved Ethiopian food. She schooled us on what to and what not to order. I pondered the menu. Thought about one item. Settled on a safe choice. All our meals arrived arranged on a huge circular platter. The waiter did not tell us which entree was which. All looked runny, soupy, and either brown, yellow, or green. The one dish that was recognizable was the one with a hard-boiled egg floating in it. I ate my green soupy entree with heaping quantities of thick, doughy bread. The next day I could hardly move — I felt as though my stomach might explode with the bread I had eaten. I never returned. I stick to Mexican, Italian, and Chinese for my adventurous dining needs.
Chinese food is one of the foods that my children love. Our small town does have a Chinese takeout, but it is not in our family budget to eat out every night. Wanchai Ferry meals are available in the freezer section at Target. We tried Wanchai Ferry Orange Chicken one evening between swim practice and volleyball practice. My family all commented that the Wanchai Ferry meal was delicious.
Last fall I was part of a blogger trip to General Mills’ facility in Minneapolis. While at General Mills, I had the chance to sample a few new products from General Mills. General Mills has created a product for on-the-go families — Wanchai Ferry. I don’t know about you, but when I am on the lookout for a go-to meal for my family, I want a meal that is tasty and nutritious. Wanchai Ferry is just what I need when I need to serve a meal to my hungry family.
Wanchai Ferry frozen entrées are also available in three other delicious varieties including Shrimp Lo Mein, Spicy Garlic Chicken and Sweet & Sour Chicken. Additionally, all of the entrées have no added MSG!

I’m ashamed to say we will sometimes eat a bowl of cereal for dinner if we’re really in a hurry.

My quick meal for busy nights – probably fast food! Pizza, especially. Not healthy enough, but very fast.
For meals we make at home, though – Lean Cuisine, or from scratch we sometimes make Bruschetta Basil, where we toast french bread under the broiler, cut the tip off a garlic clove and rub it on to make garlic bread, and then spoon a mix of olive oil, chopped tomatoes, chopped basil, and crumbled feta cheese on it. It’s very fast and very good. 🙂
Thank you for the giveaway!

Hmm my quick meal, honestly that’s a bit tough since I cook 7 days a week, I guess it would be spaghetti that’s pretty fast and straight forward.

My quick meal is Velveeta shells and cheese. I usually mix in some frozen peas with it to make it a little more nutritious.
Thanks!

It’s usually a frozen lasagna I have in the freezer (I double my recipe when I make it and then freeze half of it), then all I have to do is cook it in the microwave.

My go to quick meal would be spaghetti w/plain sauce (no meat) so fast and easy (and cheap!) and it’s one that all 3 kids will actually eat. 😉

I keep a few steamable bags of veggies in the freezer and chicken breast. The veggies in the microwave and brown up some chicken breast for a quick meal. Mix up the seasonings and it comes out very different. We like lemon pepper and add a little lemon juice after the chicken has browned. Or you can use Italian seasonings and breadcrumbs and add some asparagus after the chicken has browned. I’m really getting away from using the ready made meals – sodium is way to high and if you keep it simple, you can fix real food faster than going to pickup fastfood. Costs a lot less also.

I can not stand Justin Bieber. Maybe its the fact that he’s 12 and has little talent and he’s loaded. I don’t know, it makes me insane to believe that so many people are obsessive about him.
I have been searching for a nice supplement to help me get to sleep too. Melatonin has bad side effects. I read about Calms Forte 4 Kids. That link goes to a review. You think its as good as they say?
so you think this way on this topic. i am not sure whether i am with you or against you on this.
I’ve bookmarked this because I found it notable. I would be very keen to hear more news on this. Cheers!
