Casserole mania, here I come

I've decided that going back to work (ah yes, I have a job) means that I need to somehow figure out some new meals for weeknights.  We baaaaarely eat at home these days, and we need to start, both to save money and to save calories and points.  And I have a really hard time getting S to eat anything, as you might know (if you read this blog a lot), because he refuses to allow vegetables near him.  And really, he's picky about everything.  I can BARELY get him to eat chicken and beef.  He seems to survive happily on a diet of pasta with butter and frozen pizza.  I can't eat that diet.  I get bored in....two days.

So I went on WW to try to find some recipes, and they all include things that S can't or won't eat; besides, they look horrifying.  So then I went to some recipe site, and looked up all kinds of weird casseroles.  I found a few, and now, starting tomorrow, I'm going to cook them.  (Although, if I'm honest, I'll admit that I'm going to make sloppy joes tomorrow.  We haven't had THEM in ages, and I love a good sloppy joe.)  S is leary of casseroles, as anyone who doesn't like anything would be, but I keep assuring him that it will be okay.  Even though I'm not sure.  What if the casseroles suck?  I guess he'll be running out to get fast food or we'll eat frozen pizza.

If you can suggest any low vegetable content (and by that I mean, does it have any vegetables in it?  It's bad; except for corn.  Corn might be okay) casseroles, I'd be grateful, though I'm not holding out much hope.  I personally don't know too many people who make casseroles.  And if they do, they have things like celery and green pepper in them.  Or mushroom, or spinach.  I think that sounds delightful, but S undoubtedly doesn't.

in MN ---it's called MN Hotdish. And really it's everything that was left over thrown to gether, They told me it would be good but it wasn't. Just don't do the one with tator tots and musturd.

not to say all of them are bad....we did have them a lot as a kid and I did love them.

Macaroni and Cheese, Noodle Kugel, Fettucine Alfredo, Meat Lasagna, Baked Potato Bar (with vegetableless options)...We have a couple of vegetable haters in the family, and I've found it's important to make healthy things with a side or two of what they will eat. Better than you only eating noodles! Congratulations on the job! S.N.
