I wish I could say that my children ate the delicious macaroni and cheese that I make from scratch, complete with pepper jack cheese and Ritz crackers (or more likely saltines). It is my standard go to frozen dish for We have a new baby! or We were in the hospital, or Hi! I’m just friendly.

It’s easy and darn yummy. But these guys? Not so much. They break their “I can only really cook four dinner dishes and this is one of them” mama’s heart by insisting on eating the orange glow. And they have to eat THE cheapest box. Don’t try to upgrade them or mix Annie’s organic in their, they just turn up their noses. The little dears.

At least I can dress it up nice with these new place mats that I won from Green Jello’s give a way. (and also a train, because we must have trains!)I love them! She has such great taste in fabric. Also did I mention I won something? I love it!
