Hi Friends!! It’s Brian’s last day of school today, I can’t believe my little guy has finished his first year of preschool ? When I think about all the moms and dads whose little ones are graduating from preschool tomorrow, my heart literally sinks. Anyone else feel so sad about our kids growing up?? I feel like I had Brian yesterday, it goes so fast, I just want to stop time…For his last day at school, I’m going to take him for ice-cream and then go swimming at our pool, and there is a carnival going on tonight so we’re headed there for dinner and rides! Yay summer!!

Onto today’s topic, DINNER. I am always coming up short for recipes for my kids, I feel like we are in a very static rotation of boring meals so I asked some of my favorite blogger mamas for recommendations and there are so many good ones here! I’ve listed 10 recipes that are tried and true from families I adore, so here we go…

1. Lasagna Meatballs with Ground Turkey

2. Street Tacos by Doreen Corrigan

3. Cheese-dilla by Life by Lee

Noah loves what he calls a “Cheese Dilla”

It’s literally a quesadilla. All we do is grab a flour tortilla, fill up one side with sharp cheddar cheese, black beans, and cooked chicken breast. You can then add it to a panini press to warm up/toast, put it on the skillet for a few minutes (flip sides during the cooking process) or toss it in the microwave for 30-4- seconds. We cut it up in small bites, and he loves it! It’s so simple, but it’s something that he requests on the regular!
