Meal Plan Update (Mexican Lasagna & DIY Mini Foods for the Kids)

Last week I shared my Healthy and Frugal Grocery Haul with you that we purchased at Vallarta: https://youtu.be/e2NgbttvSl0

This week I wanted to update you to share what Ive made so far (Tortilla Soup and Sumi Salad using cabbage and ramen noodles), and what we're having tonight: Mexican Lasagna, Tostitos Scoops DIY nacho bar and DIY Mini Fruit Tarts.

For the pastry cream, I halved this recipe and subbed vanilla extract for a bean (the children loved helping me!): https://www.marthastewart.com/343977/pastry-cream

For other mini-desserts I make for my kids, check out this video:

I hope you like these meal ideas. The kids LOVED the DIY element and were good eaters as a result. Dinner actually went late and we were late to bed because they stayed at the table for so long. The next morning my big girl woke up at 6 and told me she was ready to PACK HER OWN LUNCH! She made a lunchbox with the scoops chips and all the toppings she liked best. It was a beautiful thing! I also accomplished my goal of using up several pantry items and staying on budget by using the same ingredients for multiple meals.

What meals do your children like best? I would love to hear from you!!!
