This is currently baking -- it was easy and it smells good. I'm thinking it will be kid friendly, I'll update shortly!
I had fun telling the kiddies all day when they asked (and they ALWAYS ask) that we're having "Mexican Pennies" for supper. =)

This was kid friendly, yummy and easy to make. You may want to save your grains for the day, so you can have two portions, though! Not fancy, but good for every day type cooking.

My nephew will be coming over this weekend, after sports practice. He is ALWAYS hungry anyway, so after an hour on the ice, he will be famished. Last weekend he liked my homemade spaghetti sauce with spiral noodles, so I'll throw this together for him.
Thanks!
