Dinner Table Games!!

OK- I know its hard to get everyone to sit together at the table but here are a couple of ideas to keep everyone in their seats.

We have "story-time" where we each say a sentence of the story. One person starts the story and we keep going around until there is an ending- which can be awhile! We all like it because the stories get quite silly! But while they are listening, they are eating!

One other game we like is: "What's missing?" One person is "it" and the rest of the table closes their eyes. The person who is "it" quietly removes one thing from the table and the rest of the table has to open their eyes and try to figure out what was removed. This is fun and my 5 year old loves it!

Turkey Rice Taco Skillet

I made this last night for dinner and it was great. I just used what we had on hand from the pantry and served it with a green salad.

1 pound ground turkey breast
1 cup Minute Rice
1 package Taco Seasoning
1/2 red onion
Salsa- any kind- around 3/4 cup
Shredded Cheddar Cheese- a handful

Prepare Minute Rice as directed for the microwave. Brown the ground turkey in a skillet- add onion and cook until soft. Add seasoning and water as directed (around 15 minutes). Add cooked rice, and salsa to the turkey mixture and stir well- let the salsa heat through. Sprinkle the cheese on top and cover for about 4 minutes until melted. Serve and Enjoy!!
