A FAMILY CHILD CARE LUNCH TIME FANTASY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When running a family child care I often dreamed of having a chef walk in at around 11:00am and fix lunch for the kids and myself. He would cook up well balanced meals and do the dishes when we were finished eating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wouldn’t have to pay him or bother with taxes or workman’s comp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He would just come in with his fancy white chef hat and coat, take care of fixing lunch and be gone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kids and I would call him Chef Pierre and would decorate a pair of oven mitts every year to give him at Christmas time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He might even look something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"chef<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Oh Pierre. We appreciate you. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait. I may have digressed just a tad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dream over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s not quite <\/em>how most family child cares operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incorporating More Chicken Into Your Weekly Menus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know about your crew, but most of the kids in my group would eat chicken when I served it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I may have had to accompany it with a bottle of ketchup and ranch…but hey! They ate it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was constantly looking for recipes that were quick, easy and kid-approved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t have a personal chef on staff, we all know there is zero time to throw on an apron and channel your best Pioneer Woman energies with young children running about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These next chicken recipes can be prepared in a jiffy and they have also been given a thumbs up by the kids in my program. <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Easy Chicken Drumsticks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s why I love incorporating these babies into my menu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. They are inexpensive. <\/li>
  2. They are low maintenance when it comes to prep. <\/li>
  3. They come with their own handle bar for easy munching. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I love this recipe<\/a> posted by Ashley Manila on eHow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Chicken Drumsticks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ingredients:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    All you need is 2 lbs chicken drummies, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, & Italian seasoning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Other than the chicken, most of the ingredients are already sitting in your pantry…am I right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Instructions:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Pre-heat your oven to 375\u00b0 and plan on these drummies cooking for 1 hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For easier clean-up, I always lined the pan with aluminum foil, because I’m not the most passionate dishwasher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
