I usually dont plan what we are having. Kids are always so picky, it is hard to make all of them happy.
Yes, it is really hard to make the kids eat dinner. So to make the kids in our house eat dinner, my mom usually cooks hotdogs, spaghetti, corned beef, fried chicken and sometimes eggs too. Then she usually has chocolate drink or brownies for dessert. But there are also times (when my mother is angry) that she lets my siblings eat whatever food is served on the table.
My mom always had a good amount of mac & cheese on hand just in case my (very) picky little sisters didn't feel like eating what was for dinner that night. As they got older it because their responsibility to whip it up if they didn't want what she was making.
Sometimes, when I'm feeling lazy, I'll heat up a big can of baked beans, or ranch style beans, make some mac & cheese, and some corn or green beans. Every one loves it. Tonight we are eating at church so I don't have to make dinner. Last night I just threw some fish sticks and tator tots in the oven because I had to do my grocery shopping. I was tired and didn't feel like cooking!
