Whats For Dinner Mom??? Favorite Dinner Idea Anyone???
I need to head out to the grocery today. My youngest is bringing a friend home after school and I am struggling with what to get for dinner. There are kids that love anything and kids that you cant please no matter what. Ive never met this boy so I don’t know what to expect. Im stuck for an idea. Was thinking maybe Sloppy Joes and even saw a recipe in HG Cookbook for Sloppy Janes. Then thought maybe Im safer letting them do the little English muffin pizza…I don’t know. What should I feed the little bears?
So I was wondering if anyone had a favorite…EASY dinner idea…Im just burnt out on ideas.
My day went well again yesterday although I still need to work on getting completely to hunger and not going past to crazed…heehee! Also still paying attention real hard to when am I really satisfied and stopping.
Yesterdays food went like this.
7:00 am ~ Chex Multi-Bran cereal (1 1/2c) w/ 1% milk (1/2c)
12:30 pm ~ Tomato soup (aprox 1 1/2c) w/ wheat saltines (8)
Sandwich Thin with last of the egg salad! (aprox 1/4c)
3:00 pm ~ HG Choc cupcakes (2) w/ lite Cool Whip
6:40 pm ~ Pork BBQ sand (3 oz. chopped lean pork on Sand Thin w/ lt. mayo and bbq)
Potato (2 small)-baked, quartered and browned in little canola oil.
10:00 pm ~ Apple w/ 1 1/2T peanut butter (you didn’t think I would miss my PB did you?)
Water=120 oz…Im a thirsty girl!
Why does it always seem like so much when you write it out? Ah! Its hard to let go of “dieting” rules and just focus on simply eating when your body calls for it. I look and see all the areas I could have made better choices. I guess that will come in time.
Im going to try to read blogs and comment…got too frustrated with the Comment Mod yesterday. He is really picking on me this past week and I just give up sometimes…even ate my own comment on my own blog! Why I oughta! Such evil little thought running through my mind on how to slaughter a computer function…MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Have a FABULOUS weekend buddies!

YIKEES!! Its my day for that stupid moderation thing…frustrating….GGGGrrrrrr.
Hope your day is better, maybe the mod monster is going to leave you alone, and bother me…LOL!!!
Ok…when ever my kids had friends over we would have hamburgers/hotdogs. Most kids like one or the other.
Do you have any pork bbq left from last night? if so, maybe go with the sloppy joes /sloppy janes and if he doesn’t like that, offer the pork bbq.
And by the way can you please tell me what a Sloppy Jane is????????? LOL…sounds funny.
Good luck…I know you’ll make the kids happy!

Hiya hunnie…you seem to be doing quite well with your eating…good for you! I am proud of your accomplishments.
An idea for dinner this evening…hmmm…what about Chicken Patties on Rolls and tator tots or macoroni and cheese…most kids like that! Or how about a hamburger helper meal…pretty kid friendly too. The hamburgers and hotdogs is always a safe bet as Jane had said too. I think your sloppy joes are a safe bet with kids too.
Good luck hunnie..have a great night!
Jane, Sloppy Janes are Hungry Girls version of Sloppy Joe Im guessing
It says is a SWEETER version and that makes sense cause with the name JANE it has to be sweet!! Awwww! 
I can send you the recipe…or it may be on the HG site.
I came here to see what ideas were recommended because we’ve got a boy coming over too. I don’t have a clue what to make him. Usually we buy those Banquet 99c tv dinners for him and he’s perfectly happy. I don’t have much here. I don’t want to go grocery shopping!
I will check back to see if anyone had any good ideas. I do think they’d like the English muffin pizzas tho.
My son had this one boy come over from school one night for his 15th bday party so we took the boys out for pizza. This kid did not like pizza at all! I was so shocked! What kid doesn’t eat pizza!?
Stay away from the mac and cheese! Why temp yourself? My rule was was and still is– I cook you eat–or make yourself a peanut butter sandwich. Mean ole lady. My 12 year old grandson will eat shoe leather when he is hungry. Surely hot dog or hamburgers would work? How about one of those deli pizza’s from Wal Mart? you can cook them when the kids get there and are hungry.
Good luck.
Baked potato stew!
I made it last night since I had a crowd to feed and it was nasty cold and wet outside. Its super simple and comfort food. Let me know if you want the recipe.
Oh I left out the best part. Its only 3.5 points per cup!
Would love the recipe…sounds yummy!
