I told you before that I had several dresses of my Grandmother's.  Here's another one!  Each photo has comments under them...so click to read and see a larger photo.

Okay everyone,

I said I was strictly using this as a craft blog.  And to keep it craft or creative-food related, I will say that I'd like my friends and neighbors to help me find unique recipes that picky eaters (my kids) will enjoy, but still fall in the 'healthy' category.

This post is the result of us just having been thoroughly shocked by checking out the websites of the restaurants at which we dine on occasion.  (I really encourage you to view the nutritional information for yourself.)  Not that we'll stop going out to eat altogether, but we'll definitely look differently at the menu, and make informed decisions instead of blindly filling our bodies with more than 203 grams of FAT before we've even gotten to the MEAL!!! (That's right...203 grams of fat for an appetizer of one batter-fried onion.)

So, My request is that you send me (via private mail, or my email if you have it) some tasty dinner and lunch recipes that would seem special to someone who normally only likes pepperoni or cheese pizza, chicken strips, chili cheese burritos, spaghetti with meat sauce, mac n' cheese and nachos, mashed potatoes, french fries and Ramen noodles. 

I'll post some of the most child-friendly recipes here on my blog for other parents (or wives of picky husbands) to peruse!  Hopefully we can all feel better about how we get creative in our kitchens for our family's better health!

Now...off to make dinner!  Tonight it's spaghetti!
