Ok, I have a few fun, but fall like recipes. Now as for the picky part..umm I guess you'll have to decide. I have 5 kids, though, ranging from 17 to 6 so they all have their likes and dislikes.
First is slow cooker Lazagna:
1 pck uncooked laz. noodles
1 tsp italian seasoning
1 # ground beef
1 jar spaghetti sauce
1/4 cup water
1 cont. cottage cheese divided(or Ricotta)
2 cups Mozz. cheese
Grease bottom of slow cooker. Break noodles in half.
Place half of noodles in bottom of pan.
Stir Italian seasoning into browned ground beef. Spread half over noodles in slow cooker.Combine water and sauce and spread half over meat and noodles.Then half of each cheese over. Repeat until done. Cover and cook on low. Cook only 4-5 hours max.Serves 4-6
Slow cooker cheesey Corn:
3 pcks frozen corn
11 oz cream cheese cubed
1/4 cub margarine cubed
6 slices american cheese cut up
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp water
2 tbsp sugar
Combine all. Cook on low 4 hours stirring occasionally. Serves 6.
The fun thing is you can replace the jar of sauce for tomm. that you can get from the local farm or produce along with using fresh corn. Your son can have an outing learning about the fresh produce come back and help you make it. Sometimes, i find, they like things better if the know they helped to makle it. Then make sure you make a big deal about what a good job they did. It's fun for both of you. Good luck-H.-Indiana
