So here is another one of those easy quick toddler foods that everyone in my family eats way before the twins can even get their paws on it.  I always keep some tuna in the pantry to be ready when I am running out of ideas.  This is also a great pasta to take to work or school provided your child is not intimidated by tuna.  This brings back an array of bad childhood memories when kids are forced to eat ethnic meals by their parents just to find themselves sitting alone at the school cafeteria.  I do not want to be the cause of such turmoil and as far as I can tell with a very picky tween tuna is acceptable by her classmates.  I guess since sushi is one of the most popular meals it is hard to diss tuna, liver on the other hand may still be a stretch.

You will need cooked pasta about 2 cups, 2 scallions, can of tuna, 1 cup of corn, 1 cup of grape tomatos, 1/2 lemon or lemon juice, 1 tsp olive oil, 2 tbs mayo.

Cut tomatos into quarts.  My kids love these and will actually pick them out to eat first.  I understand that the opposite can be true in most families but whatever you do do not give up.

Chop up the scallions or green onions as they are called in other parts of the country.

Here they are nice and sliced.  You may want to slice them more if you think your kids will pick them out, this way you will make it harder on them.

Squeeze about 1 tsp lemon into mayonnaise and olive oil.

Mix well.

Open and drain the tuna, add it to the mayonnaise.

Mix together making sure you break up the tuna.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  You can use this tuna on a sandwich instead.

Add Pasta, corn, scallions and tomatos.  We really like these mini bow tie pasta called Farfalle but you can use macaroni, twists (rottini) or any short shape pasta.

Mix, serve and enjoy.

These Noodles are great.  They only take about 15 min max to make (that includes cooking the chicken and boiling the noodles).  Everyone in my family loves them which means I can have a lunch/snack or quick dinner ready in a flash.  They are toddler friendly meaning my toddlers will eat a couple of bowl [...]

Crostinis are a perfect party snack.  They are easy to make and they can be made more fancy like in this one with Pomegranate Onions or simple and elegant like our Mozzarella Caprese Crostini.  You can do whatever you wish on them even decorate with mashed potatoes and few sauteed mushrooms and they will be [...]

So this is seriously my favorite food since I tasted it at my friends party.  I refused to leave her house until I got the recipe.  I loooooove it.  Because of this dressing I eat cabbage at least 5 days a week and I am trying to cut down.  The dressing is so good that [...]

We love pork it is so easy to make and so easy to eat.  You can eat it properly seated at the dinner table with napkin on your lap or you can just slice it and eat it with or without bread.  This is one of those dishes that everyone including the 2 year olds [...]

Instead of making traditional doughnuts or Polish paczki I decided to fiddle around in the kitchen and made these tasty pumpkin pie fritters.  They are delicious just like pumpkin pie without the crust and in less time (yes it is possible).  They are also FRIED which means LOVED in my household.  As long as something [...]

This recipe is for the kids that will only eat Chicken Nuggets.  This is a way to add a little bit more flavor to your nuggets and maybe just maybe step away from the drive through window.  I know how the days go believe me with toddler twins I am always running late and by [...]

I love to entertain and I have instilled that love for entertaining into my tween daughter who often holds movie nights or get togethers at our house.  Unlike her I do not like serving chips with store bought dip.  I do like salsa or that wonderful cheese dip that I can eat by spoonfulls but I [...]

I love “breakfast” breads.  The loafs that are so sweet that can be just as easily be eaten for dessert.  First they are a great snack or on the go breakfast for my kiddos.  Second they hold up for a while provided you wrap them in plastic.  They never last longer then a day here. [...]

Sides are always my favorite.  I can skip the meat and fill myself up with mashed potatos, spinach or whatever side is served at the table.  Even though my family likes something more substantial, I often do find myself eating only sides for days on end.  This is one of those sides that I make [...]
