"Story and a Meal"

For the past few months I have been trying to implement "Story and a Meal." All I do is make a meal with my two little helpers and have the meal revolve around a story. The kids seem to LOVE it!!! I just do it once a week but I think I am going to try to squeeze it in more often, Here are a few of some memorable ones.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the moral of this story and it was fun trying to convince my son to help so that he could eat the bread in the end;)

My mother in law bought this book for my daughter around Valentine's Day so of course we found a meal for this story.








This one is obviously a shoe in for "Story and a Meal." Funny thing is that my daughter refused to eat the green eggs for the longest time, just like the book. Yet at the very last minute she tried them and guess what? She loved them SAM I AM!!!

Also, if I don't have the book I usually can find something online for them to watch.

Fiesta

As you can see from our menu board yesterday was our FIESTA!!! We enjoyed our own

Cinco de Mayo Party

at our home yesterday evening. It was full of fun, friends, and FOOD. WAY too much food!!

I wanted to share my moms enchilada recipe just because it's so easy and too yummy not to.

My very favorite Green Chile Sauce!
4 Boneless Skinless Chicken breasts
1 ½ bars of Cream Cheese
1 can of diced green chilies
½ finely chopped onion
2 tsp of cumin
Pinch of Chili Powder
½ cup of shredded cheese
1 large can of green sauce
Tortillas
Salt to taste

Boil the chicken breast until done, drain and shred them. Add the softened cream cheese, green chilies, onion, cumin, chili powder and mix. Scoop out mix into tortillas, wrap, and place into a pan. Smoother the tortillas with green sauce, sprinkle the cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 45 mins. I usually make them in the morning before the kids are up and leave them in the Fridge until cook'en time, it make for a very simple meal!

ENJOY!!!!
