I forgot about tacos/nachos! If I might brag for a moment, I make AWESOME tacos!

Ground beef (or chicken, pork, turkey, sausage)
1 can corn
1 can black beans
1 package rice (prepared; white or flavored, your preference)
Taco seasoning mix
Toppings (cheese, sour cream, salsa, hot sauce, etc)

Cook the ground beef and add the corn, beans and seasoning mix. Let simmer and add the prepared rice. Let simmer until liquids are more absorbed and everything is well mixed. Spoon over tortilla chips, into soft or hard taco shells. If with soft taco shells, roll onto plate (burrito-like) and top with salsa, sour cream, cheese, hot sauce, whatever you like. Knife and fork required!

Feel free to use the large size corn tortillas for tacos for larger hands. You only have to make one large taco instead of two smaller ones.


Feel free to use the whole wheat large tortillas too. They are very tender and crispy

Don't forget the veggies. Kids can't concentrate to do their homework without veggies. Human's can't live soley on flour (ground up grains).

have the older kids help cut up celery and carrot sticks

Make them veggie soaps.

Use canned soaps and then add fresh veggies to them. Chop up the veggies ahead of time and store them in a glass container with olive oil. They last longer in glass with olive oil.

Here is a really good and SIMPLE chicken soup recipe:

Buy a package of legs only (or thighs) and cook them in a large pot of water. When they are done cooking add what ever vegestables you want. You can add about a tablespoon of rice. Add an onion cut in half. Add salt to flavor. Optional: tomatoe sauce for color and flavoring.

By cutting the veggies is large size, you can easily select the veggies out of the soup to customize each plate with whatever veggies each person will eat.

A whole cut up chicken works too.

Enjoy!!!

P.S. I add very small pieces of carrots and zuchini to my meatloaf. About a tablespoon of each. It's a good way to introduce veggies to non veggie eaters.

Another P.S. remove the skin from the chicken.
