Hi Jenna,

I'm newly resubbed here after being gone quite a while. I really love this group though and know you will find some good quick recipes.

 

I have six kids too and a hubby who also isn't vegetarian. I'd love to know the ages of your kids and such. I have four boys, ages 10, 9, 7, and 5 and 2 girls ages 3 and 1. I live in the Pacific Northwest.

 

Here's a recipe we like for a quick dinner. The kids even love it and they tend to be a bit picky.
