Yes, some kid friendly meal would be great. I am sick of cooking 2 seperate meals. One for myself and or dh and one for the kids.

We eat a lot of beans and rice. We really like black beans. Brown rice. If you want a super yummy dose of protien add a fried egg to the top. Add your fav toppings. Salsa, sour cream/yogurt, cheese. Really great with brocolli.

Cook beans and rice in big batches, divide up into meals and freeze.

I also am part of a community kitchen and we meet once a month and make huge batches of meals, divide and freeze. It's a great way to have ready made meals that are healthy and cheap. If you can get organized it's worth it!

OMG I just had to share-- I made this incredible meal the other night and it was so easy (only pots :) ) Here is a link to the recipe http://www.recipezaar.com/111591 I used a ham steak (not leftover ham) and I added some pork seasoning to the ham. I might try cooking the noodles in chicken broth to give them extra flavor( some "zing") next time. BUT it was fine the way the poster has it-- so yummy and easy!

The kids were not all the crazy about as all the ingredients were mixed together BUT they did pick out what they wanted to eat and left the rest on their plates-- they did not go away hungry.  IT was so good that DH (2 hrs later!!!!!)  heated up the leftovers and ate the rest for lunch the next day and DH is not a leftover eater! AND he keeps going on and on about how goood it was, blah blah, blah-- as if I have never cooked before! Also, when I scanning over the rest of the posters other recipes they all sounded like something that I normally keep in my pantry and foods that my family will eat!
