What's for dinner?

We've been trying hard around here to make meals that serve the whole family. It's a great idea, but some nights it just doesn't work. (Jack is just getting his back teeth, so hopefully he'll soon be able to eat meat!)
So rather than making a grilled cheese or a hot dog for Jack, I've been looking for healthier alternatives that he can have while we're enjoying our adult dinners.

Here's a picture of tonight's meal. I know, it looks disgusting!! But I can testify that it's actually quite delicious!
I'm not certain that its completely healthy, since I did make a rue and add quite a bit of cheese. It does have three vegetables tucked inside however, and the whole thing took about 15 minutes for Jack and I to assemble.

Weelicious.com has quickly become my favorite new place to search for kid-friendly recipes. You should check it out!

Here's the link for the the green macaroni and cheese.




We've also made the spinach cake muffins which were a HUGE hit with Jack.  Audrey has been enjoying them too, and a few adults liked them at my last staff meeting.  Who knew spinach could be so good?  


Here's a picture of Jack helping with the muffins and proof that they were well received.  


Update: Dinner was a huge success! Audrey and Jack both loved it.
The next time I make this I will probably cook the broccoli a bit before assembly. Other than that, it was a hit!
