Mommy Just Run: 5 Days of Dinner

Clean Eating is simple, really. Make meals with real food. If you're like us though, you're kids give a hard time about eating anything...even the things we KNOW they like.

How do we get our kids to eat dinner? Well, sometimes we don't. Here's what we do that has gotten the best results:

1. Plan everything on Sunday and include them in the planning process. This way, if they try saying they don't want (fill in the blank) for dinner, we can say "well, you asked us to cook it!"
2. "Eat or go to bed." It's not that exact... they don't actually get directly in their beds, but they definitely don't get a second choice. We cook one meal, and everyone eats it. There aren't any other choices, so they eat it or they are hungry.

So this is what we'll be eating this week.

MONDAY - Salsa chicken & Brown Rice Stuffed Peppers

**The chicken will cook in the crock pot while we're all at school. When we get home, I'll cook the rice, assemble the peppers, and put in the over by 5:45 so that we can eat as soon as Bob walks in at 6:00.

***The kids will NOT eat all of the pepper, but we'll convince them to have at least a few bites ;) They'll like what's inside though.

TUESDAY - Shakeology for the kids, leftovers for Mom, and Dad is on his own.

**Their favorite is chocolate with banana and peanut butter.

***We're in the car for over an hour on Tuesdays driving to dance, then they are in class for 3 hours. Tuesday night dinners are always tough. We have to be prepared ahead of time or we end up in a drive-thru which the kids love but I do not!

WEDNESDAY - Pulled Pork and Broccoli

**The kids have choir and lacrosse, so dinner time is very tricky. We'll probably pack snacks for lacrosse then have a very late dinner after lacrosse.
