My preschooler will eat a version of our meal (sometimes it's salad with the items not touching); the baby will eat a blended version of fruits or veggies being served. And yes, I love the crockpot as well. Just trying to sell my husband on it! In our family, I refuse to be a short-order cook.

That's just gluttony.=) I need to get better at sneaking in the produce. My kids see green and won't eat it. Six course meals will NEVER happen here!

I grew up on casseroles and crockpot meals, but I had strayed away from them in recent years. Now that life is becoming more hectic, my midwestern food heritage seems so much practical! I toss kale and swiss chard into lots of dishes and find other ways to work in the veggies from my CSA, but I do find that six course meals won't be happening around here for the next decade or so!

I hate making dinner--my kids always act up and I'm tired and just want the food to magically appear. I'm also getting better at substituting ingredients so I don't make a special trip to the store for one thing. I’m relying more on cassoroles and crockpots too!
