hi :) i'm a mom of 2, my DD (6) and my DS (4). my DH is the pickiest eater of them all so I am always on the lookout for something different to make, but yet with foods that he will eat (or that i can hide lol). my DD just lost her first tooth and is in the process of losing more, so i need easy to chew foods. we also leave early and get home very late due to work, so quick weeknight dinners or crockpot yummies are a must in our house.
