Made mushroom leek ravioli last night. Since I had guests coming and not sure if they’d eat mushrooms I also made chicken ravioli. I just picked off the left over chicken from drumsticks we’d cooked 2 nights before. They had been coated with Penzy’s ‘Mural of Flavor’ so I just added chicken with some salt, pepper and ricotta cheese to food processor and ground.
For the pasta I used round dumpling/wonton wrappers from produce area of supermarket. Just spoon mound of stuffing mixture onto center of bottom layer, wet edges and place top layer over squeezing air out while sealing edges with your fingers. Can use fork around edge for further seal/presentation. Cook for just a few minutes in gently boiling water. Top with favorite sauce. I had made truffle butter cream sauce with Parmesan. Marinara works well too.
I love popcorn. My kids love popcorn. Whether it’s at the movie theater or at home, it’s just a yummy treat. But I hate microwave popcorn. To me it tastes odd and I hate the way it makes the microwave smell (even worse if it burns). Several years ago I stopped buying it because I’d also read how the linings of the bags were bad and the spray butter endangered the people who worked in factories where it was made.
Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes (depending on microwave wattage). When popping slows so that they’re only popping one/second then remove. Pour into a bowl and top with some more salt or melted butter or spices.
Unstick any part and slide onto large plate. Dust with confectioners sugar. Slice and serve. 
My eldest son, my mother and a family friend from New Zealand enjoyed it immensely. The youngest 2 boys liked it but only without the apples. I’ll make this one again!
This idea is so simple. Take some favorites and combine them into an awesome meal. I can practically guarantee that your kids will eat it. I suggested dinner’s ingredients to my husband because I knew we would all like it. Of course, I don’t have to tell him how to make it, but I also know it will be great— and different than the way I’d make it. (Actually when we discussed the recipe, I found out how differently I would have made it!) 
Since the day before I’d made homemade pot stickers which my youngest refused to eat. He ended up going to bed without eating a proper dinner. I felt guilty so on this night I made a meal I knew they would all like without complaint— chicken nuggets, roasted potatoes (looked just like French fries), roasted sweet potatoes (for me) and broccoli (everyone’s favorite). I decided to add a little crunch to the coating of the chicken. I’ve found most kids like crunchy foods and though most kids will eat chicken nuggets I thought it would be nice to add the texture. 
Yes, he liked dinner, just not getting his photo taken!
