Kid pick of the week: I don't know how I got such carnivorous kids, being a vegetarian myself (just never liked the taste / texture of meat) but they love things like bacon and sausage which I make for them on rare occasions. My 8 yr old is really into watching Man vs Food, and they recently showed him at a restaurant that served pancakes loaded with bacon and sausage, topped with an over easy egg. I cooked up a few hormel little sizzlers breafast sausages, and some turkey bacon, mixed up my go-to pancake recipe (I use canola oil in place of butter). I sliced the sausage really thin, and crumbled the bacon. I laid about 5 slices of sausage in the pan, poured the pancake batter over it, repeat with bacon, serve with two overeasy eggs on top of the pancake stack and syrup! The kids got their greasy meat fix, but only actually ate about 1 little sausage and 1 piece of turkey bacon each.

Kid Favorite of the Week: my kids are still evolving into healthy eaters, so I thought I would share each week what recipe or concept has been working for us. This is a quick and easy recipe that I found on display at the grocery store, compliments of Pillsbury. It's simple, and you can health it up by adding finely diced veggies to the ground turkey mixture. Grands Unsloppy Janes recipe here

Kid Favorite of the Week: my kids are still evolving into healthy eaters, so I thought I would share each week what recipe or concept has been working for us. They are actually pretty good fruit eaters, but this week I discovered that fruit salad > a piece of fruit. I did a fruit salad to serve with dessert on Easter and now they are obsessed! We picked up a ton of produce at Costco this weekend, and I plan to start serving a bowl of fruit every night with dinner. Last night was canteloupe, strawberries, kiwi and banana. Delicious!
