ROAR: I’m Never Full!

It’s on, like Donkey Kong.  We’ve officially entered the TEEN years.   Today I received “the sign”.

While my son’s first year of officially being a “TEEN” is nearly over, in a matter of weeks, I’ve yet to “feel it” yet.

Yesterday afternoon, I called my son on my way home from work to let him know I had to run a few errands prior to arriving home.

I advised him to eat one of the Campbell’s Go Soups if he was hungry immediately.  He then proceed to advise me he already had Pringles. (Now that’s wholesome).

I repeated that he should eat the Go Soups if that didn’t tide him over.  He then told me that he’s NEVER FULL!!

Meal Plan Meets ‘El Super Mercado Mexicano’

I love switching things up when it comes to cuisine, so this week I decided to hit the Mexican Supermarket (el super mercado Mexicano) for my groceries.  I was inspired by a dish I saw on TV, Yuca Gratinada.  Since the nearest Kroger, Publix, Ingles or Aldi is about 3 miles (translated to 15 minutes in my area), I planned a week’s worth of meals around what was available at Brito Supermarket.

Since I have a teenager (Nicholas) and a meat & potatoes kinda guy, I was able to incorporate enough American inspiration and variety from solely Mexican cuisine to please all of us! My full meal plan and shopping list were ready and off I go!
