These are two recipes I got recently off of my Lima Moms Network from fellow moms with the same prob as you and myself. I am SO sick of the same stuff and I have a VERY picky 6 yr. old that I try to accommodate within reason.....
I haven't tried either one yet, but am trying the mini meatloves tomorrow night, I am sure they will be a hit, and I think they will be "cool" to the boys....
I am gonna keep an eye out for other recipes.....
GOOD LUCK
