Mealtime Magic: Theme Meals

With your kids' help, create a theme meal. Rename familiar favorites or create special dishes. This can add a little excite to even "boring" stand-by dishes. Let your kids design the theme, and come up with fun names for regular meals, or new meals to try that fit the theme. There's no wrong way to do it!

Examples:
Mother Nature - mashed potato volcanoes, broccoli trees, fruit flowers, etc
Space - mini "planet" meatballs in spaghetti, cheese or sandwiches cut in the shape of stars
Ocean - Goldfish, blue Jell-O, personal pizzas (reshape the dough to look like a fish)
