Guest guest Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Well tonight I served my 9 year old daughter the Haystacks recipe from the files, they were VERY well received. lol But they are pretty much 'nachos'. What can I say, it's Friday night! I had been doing the Meatless Monday thing for a long time now but now I have upped it to two meatless days a week. And am emilminating red meat from our diet. I made gacumole dip to go with the haystacks, and although at first my daughter was suspicious, she did take a bite. She then announced that she loves gacumole and I had to fight her for the rest. Today I ate lunch with her at school and there were two other girls from her class who were at our table. They had both taken the salad as they didnt want the two different sandwich choices. BUT they wouldn't touch the salad. This started a conversation between my daughter and them, they wont eat lettuce, they wont eat broccoli, they wont eat carrotts, they wouldn't eat the pineapple chunks served or the kiwi, etc, etc. They did drink the chocolate milk and cookie. That was their lunch. My girl has been less then thrilled some nights to see beans on the table but I have to give her credit, she is a good vegetable eater. If nothing else she will eat veges raw (with Ranch). But sadly, these two girls today are probably pretty typical of American kids. This summer a friend's teenage daughter announced at a picnic that she was a vegetarian. Well this intrigued my cousin who started asking her what she eats. Well, she wont eat vegetables and doesn't like much fruit. She eats a lot of cheese pizza. My cousin laughed and told her to be a vegetarian she needs to eat vegetables. That she is a 'pizza-arian' and that isnt very healthy. But a big thank you to the kids recipes in the files. Nice to have some easy things that my daughter will happily eat.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 The Haystacks are a staple in our house. I'm glad you enjoyed them. It takes no time to make and are quite tasty and satisfying. My kids will make them for any meal of the day. I grew up eating these at picnic's, campouts and quick meals at home.
