My Mom is so Mean on Muffin Tin Monday
Time for this week's Muffin Tin Monday. You won't believe the horrors I subjected my boys to this week.
They had fresh salad from our garden (yes, I did buy them some Ranch so they'd stop complaining), ONION casserole (oh yes I did) and tuna salad sandwiches on homemade classic white bread.
I had nevertormented served my boys onion casserole before. I confess they didn't eat it. They lifted up onions, looked at them warily, then flung them back down and said, "I don't like this". Pretty sure they were all thinking, "WHY CAN'T MOM JUST GIVE US CHICKEN NUGGETS?" I liked it though - I love cooked Vidalia onions. At any rate, the boys ate their salad and sammys okay.

Sounds pretty good to me! ! Have a great start to the week!
Haha! So even you have some failures in the healthy food department! Lol.
I love vidalia onions and would have enjoyed eating the boys' portions. xo
I have never heard of onion casserole! And would definitely like a recipe! We love onions here. My 4 year old always asks me for raw thinly sliced onions. I usually put them in my salad, and she will eat half of them before they get there :-)
I love that you keep trying! I think the casserole sounds delicious!
I was gonna say, if your Dudes ate onion casserole, you need to come over here and see if you can get mine to try it.
I can remember my Mom making me eat things I said I didn't like. To this day I crave the liver she used to make and she also made the best fried green tomatoes I have ever had.
What a mean Mom you are.
Mean Mom onions what were you thinking. B
I always enjoy MTM! I worked for an Atlanta co. based in Vidalia, GA when I was young. Each May, we would receive a large bag of fresh Vidalia onions!
Haha! I guess EVERYONE has stories about stuff their moms made them eat! ;)
Onion casserole sounds so good. We were mean too. They'll never eat things if you don't put it in front of them. Onions is the only thing our son still doesn't like at 19.
Oh those poor boys! You can blame it on the heat and no electric! lol
You never know...you may serve that a few more times and they'll start eating it! Kids are such goofs!
PLEASE feed me onion casserole!
At least they haven't stood in the middle of a busy restaurant and exclaimed at the top of their lungs "You're the meanest mommy in the WHOLE world" while waving their arms around in a dramatic fashion.
Yes, it has happened to me. I still laugh about it, much to the kidling's consternation. =D
i think onions are an adult taste. i used to pick them out of everything - now i love them.
Oh my, you are mean! My toddler for some reasons ADORES cooked onions. He loves French onion soup, and caramelized onions. It's crazy, but as long as he'll keep eating them, I'll keep cooking them!
I think I would like onion casserole, but I can understand little boys looking at it with distaste. At least they got some veggies in with the salad! It all looked yummy.
You could give me onion rings dipped in spicy batter with vidalias any day. Although...I'm pretty sure that fails in the healthy category. ;) Good for you for mixing things up...they'll be better for it.
I can't get my 'boy' to eat onions either. And he's 41!
Our current job has us about an hour away from Vidalia, GA. I really should visit there!
You are doing the right thing Lisa! It builds character;) And some day, I bet your boys will like onion casserole-especially made with Vidalia onions. I love that variety! (Around here, we have a really good sweet onion called the Walla Walla.)
I bet the onion flinging was a bit fun to watch, too:)
I love that the boys like salad, not all kids do. It's great that you continue to try new foods for them! :)
Kids do love the ranch dressing. I keep it when I have young visitors over.
It sounds like something I would love, but my kids, not so much, lol!
Yeah, my girl won't eat onions either. I've never even heard of onion casserole. I'd love to be able to make French onion soup sometimes though, but I know she'd never touch it!
But hey, I think you're doing well getting them to eat salad!
No one in my house will eat onions but me. I do however hide them in foods whenever I can get away with it. :)
Well, at least you tried- maybe next time!
You help make eating fun, not that its not already fun already Lisa,lol. Richard
I have to say I am with them on the onion fit. I would have filled up on the rest though : )
Olá Lisa, votos de boa semana....

Tuna!? Yuck! I have never heard of onion casserole.
So funny! I didn't like them as a child either but bring 'em on now!
Lisa -- you are so funny in trying to get those guys to follow your tastes. My daughter hated asparagus and refused to eat it. I had to play with it like it was a worm coming at her mouth for her to even taste it age 4! Now she is a Mom of 3 little girls and devours asparagus barbequed with just olive oil on it. She even fixes it for Christmas. silly kids!
What a hoot! I never liked onions until I grew up and like you vidalias (sp?) are so yummy!
Onion are always a hit with our family. Only one in the whole group won't eat onions. I would love to have a recipe for your casserole. Hope you have a great week.
I like onions, but my kids don't. They are 17 and 20 and STILL won't eat them. Sheesh.
Onion casserole would just about KILL my husband. Seriously a no-go.
But I love me some cooked onions. Raw ones are no-way for me, but cooked? SO YES! YUM!
I think I can smell how good it is- while its cooking!
love

Great story! My kiddos are making their own salads now (filled with olives mostly). Getting them to eat healthy continues to be a challenge :) Newest follower, Laura
Ohhh those darn chicken nuggets! I think it looks great :)
That would not be torment to me. I'd love cooked Vidalia onions... YUM.... AND the homemade bread looks wonderful also... AND--salad from the garden... WOW---a meal for ME.
Have a great day. We are STILL waiting on RAIN. It went all around us last night.. Grrrrrr.
Hugs,
Betsy
I continue to be in great awe of what your children will eat. I could threaten mine with taking every last toy away and they still wouldn't touch a salad:(
