my kids like Mexican rice or fresh fruit, mangos, mandarin oranges, etc.

Open a big can of refried beans, heat it up on the stove so gets soft (better result than microwave), and while still hot sprinkle cheese on top.


Taco night in our house always has mandarin oranges, cold out of the fridge.

We had taco night last night! My son (extremely picky eater) loves the Knorr taco rice...not the Spanish rice, but TACO rice. We also do the refried beans and cheese!

As an aside, and absolutely nothing to do with your question; I did this menu for my DIL's baby shower and it was a huge hit! Our family does co-ed showers, parties, etc., so the men especially loved having a "taco bar" at a shower instead of finger sandwiches and the usual shower food...

Ideas For A Side DishApr 09, 2015
I'm making sloppy joes for supper - got my family coming for a quick meal with young kids - anyone have an idea for things to eat with it?  It's cold - so cold veggies doesn't sound very good right now - trying to avoid potatoes, pasta, and, of course, no chips, etc.  Anyone have an idea?  I will break down and do potato salad if I have to - it sure is hard to switch from starches when we grew up on that stuff because it was cheap..... Pork and beans are so salty - ...

and stick to it.  For months I read here how essential it was to pass health care reform, Obamacare was right, had to happen, because the uninsured do not receive medical care.  Had to happen.  Okay, in muted form, it passed.  Then states sued because they feel it is unconstitutional for the federal government to require citizens to buy health insurance.  The Obama admin defends the suit on this basis: When accidents or illnesses inevitably occur, the uninsured still re ...

How Can I Make This Dish Better?Feb 19, 2011
A couple weeks ago I cooked some ground turkey and added a can of white beans to it and I absolutely loved it but it seemed like lt was missing something.  I served it with some brown rice (which I didn't like at all - seemed bland) and I had steamed brocoli on the side.  I'd like to do the ground turkey with white beans again, but just seems like something is missing.  What would you add to it to make it better? ...

Democrats Side With Union Boss Over Veterans In VAApr 13, 2017
Firing Offense: Democrats are constantly bleating about the need to better serve the nation's veterans. Yet when it comes down to it, they would rather bow to their union masters than allow the VA to fire workers who aren't doing their jobs. The proof is the Democrats' fervent opposition to a simple reform being pushed by Republicans — the VA Accountability First Act. This bill would let the Veterans Affairs secretary fire someone and not have to wait a month for the person t ...
