3 Seconds is the new 5 minutes… As such, I’m putting together some quick and dirty (DIRRRTY) grub instructions for you self-professed lackluster chefs (you know who you are)… Instead of Rachael Ray, I offer you Grubby Grub for the Tired and Cranky Parent and you can be my bitches, ok? Here’s my first recipe. Follow along if you feel like it, suckas.
I call this one-bowl meal “O the Joys Delight”(cuz she lerves fiber), but kids like it when you call it “Magic Fairy Wings and Raisins”
- Pour 2 scoops of the RB* into a huge bowl
- Sprinkle sugar to taste
- Pour 2% milk over the top
Nutritional Advantages: Fewer calories than steak and potatoes, vegetarian, dairy, high in fiber
Mental Energy Advantages: Mommy unlikely to be resentful and intimidated by this meal … excellent offering after a long day at work.
*Raisin Bran
In other news, which celeb do you most parent like?? (or, how DEEP is my soul??)…
I call you a Master Chef! Roughage AND fruit!
I like it because a. I dont have to listen to Rachael Ray say “EVOO” a million times, and b. Avery eats anything with raisins in it.
we ate cereal for dinner A LOT growing up, and I turned out okay!
My in-laws arrived unexpectedly one night, just after I’d served the kids cereal for dinner. My sisters and I did breakfast-for-dinner growing up all the time. No big deal, right?
But oh, the look on my MIL’s face. You’d have thought she found her grandbabies grubbing in the toilet.
What I wanted to say: “Normally, I just let them gnaw on a frozen pizza before passing out the hot fudge sundaes.”
What I did say: “Oh, yeah, they ate dinner already, but they were still hungry.”
May I recommend “Fiber One” cereal for an even bigger… uh…passage.
I love it! Lets not forget the advantage of the kids thinking they are getting away with something they are not supposed to: breakfast for dinner - how rebellious!
Wow, this sounds really easy. Bossy will have to try it. Only problem: How do we make the bowl?
I eat those on a “regular” basis. Maybe too regular.
You continue to inspire me with your laziness, you salacious, slackilicious being. I am totally in when you start that Slackmommy Cookbook for cranky, crabby, ennui-filled mamas like you and me.
