This video summarizes life at the dinner table these days.
Okay, it’s not every day.
But on the challenging ones, I’d say there’s probably about five reminders of table manners for every bite that’s taken.
It’s a hard parenting issue for me, actually.
I’m a picky eater who wasn’t forced to eat things I didn’t like as a kid (unless we were at someone’s house and their kids were forced to). It has definitely presented challenges in my life (i.e. teaching myself to like vegetables as an adult) but I really don’t have a reference point for “you will eat or else!”
When we find something that the kiddos willingly eat, you better believe we’re going to try serving it again! This week, it was a really simple dish: meatball bubble-up.
I feel pretty silly even calling it a recipe, but here goes!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Chop up a package of jumbo biscuits. I was feeling too lazy to wash my smaller pan (this one is larger than a 9 x 13) but typically, one package of biscuits would cover the bottom of the dish.
Cover your biscuits with whatever amount of sauce your family prefers. I went a little heavy as some gets absorbed in the baking.
After that, just cover with your meatballs. We really love Aldi’s Fit & Active Turkey Meatballs.
If you’re not Type A, totally a great step to let your kiddos help with. At our house, “mama, can I help you make?” is a daily request 🙂
After that, just a sprinkle of cheese, into the oven (45 minutes or until brown and bubbly) and on to your table!
May your tummies be full and your kids’ complaints be minimal! 🙂
