Dinner tonight is in the crock pot..."Some sort of Soup"
Rainbow rotini noodles
Tomato sauce
Stewed tomatoes (not drained)
pink beans (not drained + 1 can of water)
carrots chopped
green beans (fresh, frozen or canned doesn't matter. I used MY canned not drained beans as those are the ones The General loves the most)
2 tablespoons of pesto (or more if you like)
salt to taste

We will be topping with Parmesan cheese later.
Must frost cookies now.

Yum. Looks good and healthy. What a great way to play on pasta and tomato, which many kids like, while also working in some good protein and vegetables.

Good job!

My teenager, who I call "mini-diva" because she really is a mini version of her Mom, is a vegetarian and does not like tomato or tomato sauce. This eliminates about 80% of the Italian food ideas that I come up with for her. The only thing that she will eat with my veg tomato sauce is eggplant parmesan when I make it for her. Then she can eat that for days and never tire of it.

Go figure.
