Dinner Ideas for the Week

My "baby" hit double digits this week...It seems like yesterday I was holding him in my arms, soaking up every moment of his being an infant, knowing he would be my last baby, and now he's entering the "tween" stage.  He has the most sensitive heart and winning smile, and he will sit with me for the longest time, and look at old pictures together.

I know I'm biased, but wasn't he an adorable baby!?

Out of all of my children, he's the one who likes to help out in the kitchen the most. I highly suspect it's because he likes to do the taste tasting!  🙂  His favorite food in the whole wide world is cheese, and his favorite dinner meal is macaroni and cheese!

Here's some yummy ideas for feeding your family dinner!
