The Standoff

A few nights ago I made Chicken Broccoli Fettuccine (recipe alteration:  fresh sliced mushrooms and fresh broccoli, no garlic or onion powder, their June/July issue was not exactly what's on their website) and my older two acted as if I'd just served squid with a side of  fish eyes (complete with the gagging sounds!).  I even said to pick out the mushrooms and just eat noodles and chicken.  But, no!  So, like the sane, nurturing mother that I am, I declared I am not making any more dinner.

ME:  "I will not be making dinner anymore since you don't like what I make."

THEM:  "Fine, because we won't eat your dinner unless you make what we like!"

We've had sandwiches now for a few days (with sides of yogurt, applesauce, fruits, cold veggies, etc) and they seem to be winning.  Pleased as punch with the easy meal set up.  Hmmmm....

I do believe I'll be making dinner tonight!!
