mish mosh dinner

Some evenings after work and school, I just don't have my energy at all to prepare dinner.  Nights like this, I simply prepare a spread and let the kids chow down.

A dinner like this is fun for the kids since it is not the norm, so they enjoy it even though it takes so little time.


 
 
 
 

We dinned on:
- cucumbers
- wheat crackers
- swiss cheese
- hummus
- apples
- peanut butter with sunflower seeds sprinkled on top
- bell peppers
- grapes

The meal was rounded out with Kefir.  Here is a link to the Kefir that I buy at Aldi.  This link will also tell you all about this stuff and how good it is for you.  I think it costs $2.89 a carton.  The kids LOVE this stuff...I mean LOVE it.  They ask for seconds all the time.  During the week we will go through 3-4 cartons of Kefir. 

I have been around this stuff pretty much all my life, as it is very popular with the Polish culture.  My mom would make it and my dad would gulp it down.  I found it offensive (smell and texture) so I never reached for it.  However, the stuff I buy now has a good texture and good flavor so it is easy for the kids to like it. And it is SO good for you...try it!

  1. This looks like a meal we have frequently as well. We usually have some french bread and olive oil to dip as well. :)
