Dinnertime Milestone

Last night was a dinner breakthrough.

For the first time in forever (Cue dancing snowman. Oh wait, wrong story.) we all ate the same dinner.  All five of us, Monk included!

I have been wondering over the last year if and when we would get to this point. Would we get to this point?  Sure I had to make an adjustment to the recipe for his plate.  But for today I am considering it a personal victory that we were able to eat as a family together.  To eat from one pan. Can I get an Amen for less dishes?

Did everyone eat the pork and greens skillet pie, cleaning their plates with smiles on their faces?

Hahahahahahaha!

Seriously? No. I have three children whose tastes and opinions change more frequently than the weather in Texas. But Monk loved it. Monk ate seconds! And that, ladies and gentlemen is how I measure success. 

Want the recipe?  It's a Martha meal, and you can find it here.

For dairy allergies, hold the Parmesan until the end, scoop out a bit of the pork and greens as well as the grits for your food allergy monkey, then throw in the cheese, bake it in the oven and everyone is feed from one meal!
