What's For Dinner? What? Noooo!

I have a kid that hates cheese.

Yup.  Blanket statement.  All cheese.


At least he says he does.


And it drives me crazy.  I know, I know...pick your battles.  But seriously, how can person live life hating cheese?  Slumber parties?  Post-game celebrations?  Life in general?  I could live eating cheese, well, always.


It makes planning meals frustrating.  Cause, yeah, we like cheese.

I know we are lucky that we don't have major nutritional issues or allergies, but his stubborn nature (and no, it's not just cheese) is intensely frustrating sometimes.


Last week, I tried something new.  I spent three hours on Sunday and I made all of the dinners for the week that day.   Only one had cheese.  I made a mess, made new recipes and was feeling good about myself as a mom.  Chicken nuggets and pizza rolls be gone, we are cooking this week!


And 5/6 of the nights, the kids hated it.


So this weekend I didn't bother.  I didn't have the time and, quite frankly, I didn't have the energy.


I am declaring this week a "clean out the freezer" week:


Monday. Taco dinner


Tuesday: Frozen tuna casserole (I know, can we get any more Minnesotan?)


Wednesday: Crock pot chilli change that to corned beef and cabbage, forgot that is St. Patrick's Day, my bad.  Or as I call it, "The meal I will make because I love my husband, because I sure don't like it.)



Thursday:  Pork chops with apricots (one of the ones I made last week, so sure to NOT be a hit)


Friday: Takeout
