This is KEY to having happy children, <br />because productive children are happy children,<br />because they realize they are a needed part of <br />the family. Not to mention when you expect <br />them to pitch in with household upkeep, <br />they won't act as if you have two heads! LOL <br />Keep on keeping on,dear! <br />P.S. The heart is just adorable! :)Keeping Up With the Duchesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02812725908683335907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-67899744313453323322012-02-28T23:33:06.490-07:002012-02-28T23:33:06.490-07:00i homeschool- so i'm home all day- i feel like...i homeschool- so i'm home all day- i feel like my kitchen is constantly a mess- i love being able to prep dinner ahead- love the cookbook "favorites" with the italian chicken (1 brick of cream cheese softened, 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 packet italian seasoning- mix all together and pour over about 6 chicken breasts on hi for about 5 hours- shred chicken and serve over pasta- i do ww corkscrew) my kids love this- serve cooked broccoli or salad. also- in my head- i have theme nights- have you seen the food nanny on byu? her book and show are very inspiring- plan out 2 weeks of dinners at a time- really helps with the stress. :)Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10663527510015030660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-40963494628098891972012-02-28T22:34:02.560-07:002012-02-28T22:34:02.560-07:00to help with the fighting at what i just made for ...to help with the fighting at what i just made for dinner and the kids not liking it. When i know I'm going to the store, the kids go around at the table and say things that they like that I make. It makes dinner a lot better. I still make things I like that they might not like as much, but they don't complain as much cause they know I will make the food they like sometime.amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15311311099823904877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-24702025133277690672012-02-28T12:43:18.145-07:002012-02-28T12:43:18.145-07:00This is something I am so not good at.

So, the past weekend I put together a pan of chicken enchiladas and a pan of shepherd's pie all ready to go. All they have to do is bake. I've also got some chicken in BBQ sauce in a gallon ziploc bag just waiting!! sometimes just getting all the chopping done saves a TON of time and cleanup.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16090151338920717614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-10395588122409216402012-02-27T20:57:03.328-07:002012-02-27T20:57:03.328-07:00I too feel the same way about dinner.

I was thinking about this tonight as I was loading the dishwasher and realizing that if I'd prepared dinner earlier I wouldn't have so many dishes to do at once. The nice thing about our small family is that I can usually make a big enough dinner that it can last for 2 dinners in a row. So that automatically makes the next days clean up easier.<br />Enchiladas are one of my favorites to make ahead of time. If I had a BBQ I would make shish-kabobs and have them marinate all day.

I just spent way too much money on my kids' lunch a trader joe's today, because it meant I didn't have to think about what they were going to eat. <br /><br />Also, I don't know why I took my kids to trader joe's. worst plan ever.Rachael https://www.blogger.com/profile/04546209575452027732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-53484269108741248762012-02-27T13:42:11.259-07:002012-02-27T13:42:11.259-07:00I remember having that ah-ha moment also-getting i...I remember having that ah-ha moment also-getting it out of the way while I have the energy and motivation in the morning is the key for me. I never feel like cooking after the kids get home from school-but baking? I can do that anytime. :) Love that little guy at the sink...so cute.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912466557223829314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-90842622985828684692012-02-27T13:39:56.916-07:002012-02-27T13:39:56.916-07:00Do you oil fry your tortilla's?
