Some moms ask me how in the world I make dinner and bake and cook the way I do with two littles two and under. Well, its not always easy and you have to do what works for your family (like mine is really easy or fast food healthy-ish lunches) and leftovers so I’m not cooking everyday. My mister also gets home at the boys’ bedtime, so I can cook our dinner as they are eating theirs.
So, I whipped this together in a couple of steps. I relied on Publix with a Mojo Rotisserie Chicken. Pulled it apart a few days ago and made stock. Froze the stock for later. Kept the chicken in a bowl in the fridge. Then as the boys were eating their dinner, I was working in the kitchen right beside them (to make sure they didn’t toss things on the floor, which did happen) – I was talking with them, playing with them, showing them what I was doing (I do want my boys to love to cook if that is the Lord’s plan). These were in the oven in less than 20 minutes. Then as they baked, I had time to put my younger to bed and read to my older one, then come back, put some cheese on top while my older was watching some Thomas the Train waiting on Daddy to arrive. Easy!
