4 Quick and Easy Meals my Picky Eater LOVES

Do you have a picky eater? I do. Also, I must admit I am a picky eater myself. It is hard feeding a picky eater. I learned to simply find what the child likes instead of fitting over food. Your main goal should be to get your child to eat. I remember I use to stress myself out about how or what I am going to make to get him to eat until a lightbulb went off. He must eat and I am not going to kill myself by jumping through hoops. The nights he doesn’t want to eat what I cooked, I give him either leftovers or cereal. Not sugary cereal, I tend to buy healthy cereal such as Honey Nut Cheerios. Through patience and persistence I found my picky eater loves 3 meals which are quick and easy to make.

Here are the 4 meals my picky eater loves:

1. Tuna on Toast


2. Baked Ziti


3. Spaghetti


4. Baked Chicken and Rice

3 Reasons Why I Love the Wii

I spoke about the Wii in a previous post Why do I Love the Wii for my FamilyI love the Wii for many reasons. It is very interactive and conducive to family time. If you purchase a Wii you will not be disappointed because it adds invaluable quality time to family life.

Here are my 3 reasons:

1. The Wii is inexpensive
2. Good for family bonding
3. Give Moms invaluable time to take care of other tasks

The Wii is inexpensive at a mere $350. It is worth every penny because there so many things you can do with it such as exercise and get on the internet. Also, when you think about it going out to dinner, movies, amusement parks, etc will prove to be more costly over time with the same end result of family time.




Your family will thank you for buying the Wii. It is fun for all ages. It helps your family learn about teamwork, sportsmanship, persistence and develops their analytical skills.

A Mom could have some invaluable time to either bond even more with your family, take care of tasks or have some much needed and deserved Me-Time.

If you buy the Wii make sure you buy an extra controller which costs approximately $39.99, but if you buy the Wii Play game for $49.99 it includes more games and an extra controller. All for $10 more.





I can't say enough how much I love the Wii. It has saved us alot of money, created new topics of conversation, gave me Me-time and has helped us bond even more as a family.

Why do I love the Wii for my Family?

Videos have come along way since I was a child. The video games I use to play were one-dimensional and if I was lucky they had color. I was not much of a video game player until recently when I found how interactive and family-oriented video games are.


For example, my 7 year old son played Wii with our aunt and uncle. Of course, I knew what the Wii was, but had no clue as to how entertaining it is. My son told me after a visit how they played baseball and golf on the Wii along with how much he liked it. He told me it was so much fun!



So I started doing some investigation about the Wii. She told me how she and her husband have family time and bond every evening by playing the game. They even invite friends over to play sometimes. Click here to buy a Wii!

Finally, I got the opportunity to play the Wii at my aunt’s house. It was great! I really enjoyed it. It is very interactive and detects your motions via a controller a controller which has a great wrist wrap. The wrist wrap prevents you throwing the controller if you throw the controller inadvertently after getting over excited and risking injury.



If you want to have family time without a major expense, then buy a Wii.
