Do you ever do the same dinner 2 days in a row?

I guess so yeah But i can't remember, nice post though :)

LOL!! Well being a child, and they eat something that they like, they are gonna wanna hve it every night for dinner. But since you said that it wasn't all that healthy. You may wanna think twice about to be for certain, do you really want him eating the same thing again tonight. Maybe find something else thats actually for dinner that he might like to eat. Good Luck!

I never eat the same meal in the same week never mind the next day! I can understand a kid wanting the same thing every day though, but yes add some nutrition to it....good idea!

When we have exactly the same thing it will usually be at the smaller meal of the day and not the larger. This usually happens if we have salad, sandwiches, homemade soups. our larger meal may have parts of the previous meal but not usually the exact same thing the very next day... for instance leftover spaghetti sauce may be transformed into chili or used as a pizza topping... left over meat loaf will be sliced up into other meals or meatloaf sandwiches... left over roast or chicken teamed up with left over pie crust will become pot pie.

aw gee mom waffles and chips sound good to me. lol anyway just add a salad and fruit and cheese and you would be all set. I mean if your son liked it last night why fight it, relax and enjoy your son being happy with what you fix.

Yup, sometimes. This is usually when we cook too much food and there is leftovers. Instead of throwing it out we just put it in the fridge and reheat it the next day. We try to eat it as soon as possible as well. We don't like food that is left in the fridge for more than 2 days. Eating food like that too often can make your tummy get sick. i guess your son loves that meal, hence why he requested it again. But I agree it's better to vary the menu to get maximum nutritional needs.

No I dont think I could have the same thing 2 nights in a row. And I know my husband wouldnt either. He is very picky.LOL But if you dont mind it thats all that matters.

Oh kids! All of them love junk food, don't they? And I don't blame them either. Even adults feel that junk food is tastier than healthy foods. Well, give your child a bit of what he wants on condition that he eats something good for his health too. As for me, no, I wouldn't cook the same dinner two days in a row. It would bore me!! :)

We are going to have spaghetti for the third time tonight..Mostly because my husband didn't make it home last night and him being the huge spaghetti eater, I have enough for tonight..I may make a salad to go along with it..

I would let him pick one thing from last nights dinner that he would like to have again and switch up the rest of it. I think it is ok to let a kid have a totally unhealthy meal every once in awhile, but I would not do it 2 nights in a row.

I don't think I have ever did two of the same in a row. I might take something that I made that is leftover and re-use it but I will try and change it up a bit, say we had macaroni and cheese and hot dogs one night, I might take hte macaroni and cheese and brown some ground beef and mix that together in stead. How about waffles, and some eggs, and some kind of fruit.

nope

convince him that you will make him some international cuisines and opt out for healthier food options by trying indian/chinese/portuguese recipes from the net..give him steam vegetables or opt out for making him a milkshake with fresh fruits if u have them on stock!or,if he is adamant,just give in to his wishes but add up milkshake or fresh juice like things, to support his veg/fruit servings for a day..than the usual potato waffles..

its natural... we make food in large quantity and eat for 2 or 3 days in a row....

Most modern indians do that. middle Class and uppermiddle class always prepare afresh (cook rice, vegetables, curry etc.)Occasionally when there is no time for cooking, it sometime happens that I had to eat the same stuff of what I had in the afternood.

Nope, not unless we really don't have anything to cook anymore. I am the one's in-charge in the kitchen, especially when my father is not around (the two of us are the only one's who knows how to cook here!). If we don't have any available ingredient to add anymore, then our dinner would mostly end up fried or stewed.

A lot of times my husband and I eat the same thing two days in a row so the food doesnt go to waste. You can always wait one more day and that way it doesn't seem your continually eating it.

Done it before but preferably i dont really fancy having the same dinner two days in a row though. i prefer to eat something different the next day

Yes, sometimes there are some leftover dinner at home and instead we cooked for another one, we just re-heat the food then eat it again. Last time we did this is that my mom cooked a beefsteak. It is a lot. We keep the half in the fridge then re-heat it the other day.

convince him that you will make international cuisines and try out some healthy veggie options from Indian food or in Portuguese/chinese food...though its better if u give him some steam veg ..along with his preferred ones..if he is adamant!happy cooking..
