A Note on the Daily Grind
I am now a stay-at-home-dad. Yep, Mr. Mom for me. So I'd like now to share with you all the WilkeWorld SAHD menu for K and Touchdown.
Breakfast--we have a couple of choices here.
Hay--aka Frosted Mini Wheats
Crunchies--aka Captain Crunch with Crunchberries
Mini Pancakes but only if placed in the shape of a flower on the plate.
Awfuls--aka Eggo waffles
Toasties--toasted bread with butter and cinnamon
You will notice the absence of eggs and bacon and sausage and fruits and well, anything else that might be good. Take up your grievances with the shopper--aka The Wife.
Lunch is always an interesting chore since Touchdown is very particular about nearly everything she ever eats.
Chicken Fingers--but only if placed on the plate like the petals of a flower
Dora Soup (Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup in the forms of the Dora friends) This is a big hit.
PB and J (No J is currently available. Take up your grievances with the shopper.)
Leftovers from the night before--Usually something I prepared that others did not eat.
Bananas that haven't been made into banana bread.
Occasional other tidbits that fall from the master's table.
Dinner--okay, here is where the wife gets involved quite often although she is trying her darndest to exempt herself from cooking by burning the pork ribs and clumping the cheese in the instant potatoes. By her own admission, they were barely edible. I loved them however and ate nearly everything. That ought to tell you just how desperate I am. I am tempted to call my father and beg for the hot dog surprise that he is so good at making.
Okay, I had better end this post before I get locked in the bedroom without any food. Off to make a PB and whatever sandwich to Touchdown. It ought to be interesting.

I know you are all thinking what is the King doing going down this road. It can't turn out well for him. You were right.
1- how hard is it to find fruit...open your eyes it is right there.
2- The missing J...well excuse me for not rushing out this week and buying a jar of jam. Since I am planning on making homemade jam this weekend, I thought we could tough it out. Guess I was wrong. Which leads us to...
3- Shoudn't the SAHD do the grocery shopping???????
4- Now for the recap of the dinners- Sunday-Pork ribs prepared by Queen(not the best, but there were not leftovers) Monday-Queen prepared Oven Fried Chicken. Tuesday-queen cooked roast all day long for hot roast beef sands. Wednesday- Queen hopes King will honor the family with grilled burgers.
5-Queen thinks King needs new blog topic.
Ha ha ha. Interesting to hear both sides of the story. Forget about the jelly...here's another treat you and the kiddo might enjoy:
Toast the bread and spread peanut butter on one slice. Take the bananers and cut in half or fours and place some on top of the peanut butter. Drizzle with honey, put other piece of toast on top and cut sandwich in half. Voila! Tasty treat!
BTW if there is no honey-maple syrup or hersheys syrup both work too.
Be lazy. Find a grocery store that delivers and lets you shop online. We do :)
LOVE the new layout.
Peanut butter and banana (with or without honey) is a favorite of mine as well, so I second the above noter.
(Or even just peanut butter and honey).
OK, where is that online shopping deal?? I want that.
And with all due respect, King, the Queen has a point... If she was the at-home parent, would you do the grocery shopping & dinner cooking then? ;-)
It is so interesting to have been gone for 2 weeks and I get back and the subjects haven't changed much. One blogger said it was nice to get both sides of the story, and I can tell you all, you haven't heard the real one yet. King goes into his throne and writes all day, Queen goes into her office and plays career woman, and little touchdown rules the kingdom. Once again I was called on to tend touchdown, and she was a perfect little girl, I didn't put her chicken nuggets in a flower shape and she ate them. There definately is a fight between the king and queen as to who rules the kingdom, but I will still put my bet on Touchdown......
I forgot to include this, With the King in the Throne and the Queen being a career woman, if little touchdown needs attention, she uses the potty card, it has worked everytime, hum-hum I wonder......
Oh, precious Wizard. Do tell us of your experience with Touchdown. I do believe she, too, used the potty card with even you. Enlighten us, oh, dear wise Wizard.
SAHD? When did this happen? What happened to selling mattresses? I'm so lost.....
Nuggets in the shape of flowers? That's actually not a bad idea. I'm getting tired of serving meals in the shape of a smiley face.
Wow...where am I? Can I order some oatmeal for breakfast here?
Oh King, I think I was having so much fun with touchdown, that I didn't hear her say she needed to go to the bathroom, but I believe she did and I missed it. But you know what, I not going to have a melt down because of it. It is what little children do........Sorry
Eggo waffles - ok I'm intrigued!!
peanut butter and brown sugar sandwiches, that's what i say
Peanut butter, banana, and marshmallow sandwiches are absolutely yummy!! ^_^
Whoa K.... How long is this going to last? I hate to tell you this, but the stay at home "person" does the grocery shopping, cleaning, cooking, teaching of potty training and what ever else they do. When are you going to have time to write. My husband writes late at night when the house is quite as a mouse.
Ok, some foods for little Touchdown. Peanut butter and jelly on toast, served with chocolate milk. Oatmeal is good. In the winter you can put 1 cup wheat and 3 cups water, a pinch of salt, in your crock pot on low. Put this on at night and in the morning you have hot wheat cereal for breakfast. Put some dehydrated apple slices, or raisins, chopped walnuts, etc. in the cereal about 30 minutes before serving. It's really good. Use that food storage. (Alright, take that finger out of your mouth and just try it.) Lunch: Sandwiches Dinner: Remember that the crock pot will be your best friend. Go to the half price book store and buy a crockpot cookbook and have fun. I have my most energy in the morning, so I put something in the crock pot and when "dad" comes home at night, dinner is already cooked. Leftovers are great for the next day. Hamburger helper is also great. Let us know how things are progressing.
BTW: Fruit is very easy to find at the grocery store. My grandson loves bananas, orangers and apples. I bet Touchdown will love it too. Apples dipped in Peanut butter....Yummm.
