The kids were in charge of dinner last night... We expected McDonald's or breakfast for dinner to be among their top choices...

Instead our 4 year old decided we should get fresh green beans to snap... All 3 kids and I were snapping away, but the kids eat all they snap as they snap it... YEAH for veggies!!! On his own, our 4 year old decided we should throw the beans in a skillet and pour in some Worschesire sauce and top them off with a touch of Parmesan when cooked... I never would have thought of that and I'm not sure how he came up with it, but it is great!!!

The older two collaborated on the chicken breasts... Both agreed it should be grilled... The 11 year old suggested sauteed mushrooms and onions... The 7 year old thought Muenster would top it nicely... The team effort came through wonderfully on the chicken...

The kids have never been so quiet at dinner... They had full mouths and were unable to speak other than the occasional compliment to one another...

Perhaps we should let the kids pick all the meals...

That's great. I'm an only child, but my mom used to let me come up with stuff to have for dinner, and then help me make it. It's really helped out in the long run. Glad your kids enjoyed dinner(and you got a quiet one as well).
