For example, if they would just get their winter colds at the same time, as opposed to having one get sick, then sharing it with the other, who then shares it back again, etc... so that they are sick (off and on) all winter, that would be GREAT.
My kids can't seem to agree on what dinners they like. If one likes it, the other doesn't. Don't get me wrong, I don't make separate meals for my kids. What I make for dinner, I make for dinner and that's that... but it sure would be nice if they BOTH sat down to the dinner table, a look of joy on their sweet faces as they explain, "OH MOTHER! What a wonderful dinner you have prepared for us!"
What! A mama can dream, can't she?
I have, however, come across a dinner that, though it doesn't render them speechless with excitement, DOES get eaten without any complaint. In fact, my 5-year-old actually said, "Oh, THIS chicken? I like THIS chicken!" and my daughter, who generally is a good eater, sat down and munched away.
Can I get an "amen"?
All around, this dinner is actually fun to eat. It's like eating a sourdough pretzel with mustard, only it's a chicken dish. It's fast and easy, and only requires 3 ingredients (unless you decide to dip your tenders in honey mustard dressing, which I highly recommend). And your kids will like it!
Can I get just one more "amen"?
Gluten Free Pretzels 'n Mustard Chicken Tenders
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken tenders
1/4 cup yellow mustard
3-4 cups of gluten free pretzels
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
Place the pretzels in a gallon size baggie and smash with a meat mallot or rolling pin until ground into very small pieces. Pour pretzel bits onto a large plate.
Place mustard on another large plate.
Using a basting brush (or your hands if you don't have a brush!), thinly coat a piece of chicken with mustard. Then place the mustard-covered tender in the pretzels bits, flip it over and press down to coat on all sides. Place tender on the cookie sheet and repeat for the rest of the chicken.
Bake in the pre-heated oven for 9 minutes, flip the chicken tenders and cook for another 9 minutes.
