...I think I laugh to keep from crying myself.
Today I made buttered noodles - by far the easiest thing in the book to date. Is just like what it sounds. Buttered noodles, with a little milk, Parmesan cheese, and salt - oh yeah -and Yellow Squash puree. I made it with Tri-colored Rotini to give it a little color. Reese refused to try this, and Bailey chose to try some green pieces, and promptly gagged/threw them up. Okay- it didn't help that he was watching Zaboomafoo, and there was a creature eating little green worms... oh well. To be honest, I thought it was a little bland too!
I also Made Aloha Chicken Kabobs. These have shredded coconut, pureed Pineapple, and Pureed sweet potato. So you'd think these were sweet - but they weren't really. Unfortunately, I didn't have any raw chicken, so I had to used pre-cooked chicken. It didn't stay too well on the skewers, and it turned out a little dryer than I would have liked. And I didn't have any egg, so the coating didn't stick as well either. The recipe directions said to fry them, but learned from the chicken nuggets that baking works much better - so I baked them in the toaster oven so the house wouldn't heat up too bad. Bailey had a hard time trying the chicken, and Reese tried 1 bite. We agreed she could have pineapple instead, but cried when the pineapple touched the chicken bread crumbs. I had to wipe them off. Seriously?? Oh well - on to the the next thing...
