 This is my first WFMW!  I enjoy reading them every week and decided to join in.  I don’t have time to read the 100+ posts, so I may be repeating something.  Sorry if I am.

 The following is something I made on Monday.  My kids really liked it, and hubby complimented me several times, saying how it hit the spot.

 I throw a few potatoes in the microwave to bake.  While they are baking, I start heating veggies (I usually do frozen veggies which are just as nutricious as fresh - but we had canned fiddleheads) and browning ground beef.  After it’s cooked well, I add some flour, water, and beef flavoring (you could probably do beef broth if you keep it on hand rather than water and powdered flavoring).  By the time the potatoes are done, the meat and gravy is done as well.  I think it took me about 20 minutes.  My kids like the meat on the side, but dh and I put it right on the potatoes.  Quick, yummy AND good for you. 

 Another one the whole family enjoys is muffins and smoothies.  Good way to get fibre and the benefits of fruit.  I don’t have a recipe for the smoothies, I just throw in what I have.  I throw any over-ripe bananas I have in the freezer for things like smoothies and muffins, and use those as well as things like applesauce, yogurt, berries….whatever’s on hand.  If you want a shot of protein, boiled eggs!  Quick and nutricious.

    I do something similar, but serve it over mashed potatoes. And how can you go wrong with a smoothie!!
