Tonight, I had this massive craving for pasta. The trucker was working later, still home in the evening but not home for dinner, so this worked perfectly. He's not a noodle guy.
I decided on Chicken and Mushrooms with Penne and Pesto sauce, which I loved and the little princess inhaled!
My boys don't like mushrooms (when they can see them) and they are not big fans of 'fake chicken' (the kind with skin and bones removed). They believe that all pasta should be like KD. Super cheesy and only in that shape!
I had store bought pesto that had just a hint of lemon in it. My boys LOVE lemons, they often ask for them and will almost always eat them like oranges. So for tonight's dinner, I sliced up a fresh lemon and lined the pieces up on the edge of the plates. The meal looked gourmet!!
A little sprinkle of lemon over the pasta, then they ate what was left of the fresh lemon... and then cleaned their plates! They ate a meal full of things they don't like, simply because of a few slices of lemon.
Don't I wish I had thought of this earlier!
Oh, and before I forget... for those who are curious...
Yes, the potato salad was great as was the pork, the company and the entire evening with friends and family!!
