LauraGB Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Apple Crisp and ice cream for dinner? It's got fruit. Its got whole grain with the oats. Butter and nuts for fat and protein. I swear I'll only use a little brown sugar in the topping and pure maple syrup in the filling. The ice cream is real - just cream and sugar; it even has real vanilla bean specks. Would it be better if I served it with a salad full of veggies? I'm willing to do that. The truth is that we went out for lunch today and I'm still too full to care about dinner. And I've got apples up the whazoo that I haven't even made a dent in yet. I've never just served dessert for dinner, but it sounds like it might be a good thing to do today.

5knights3maidens Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Sounds good to me. I might be over for dinner. :D When I was growing up, my mom would make us waffles and ice cream! Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingersmom Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 We eat cake for breakfast so I am probably not the best person to answer this question. Sounds like a good meal to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraGB Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Thanks! I think I will add chunks of cheese to the salad, too - good idea. I told the kids I had to run it by the hive first, and they keep saying "What did they say? Can we have it??":lol: They are in there peeling apples as we speak.

AndyJoy Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 One of my fondest childhood memories is of eating cherry cobbler for dinner with my fingers. Go make a memory!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 What time should I be there? :D Honestly, we've done dessert for dinner plenty of times. Or, cereal, or pancakes or chips and salsa...you name it. Have an awesome diner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommaduck Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Sounds healthier than birthday cake for breakfast ;) Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommyof4ks Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hey, you got out of peeling apples and you get a yummy dinner! Sounds good to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hey, you got out of peeling apples and you get a yummy dinner! Sounds good to me! It gets even better - dh came home in the middle of the peeling and when he heard what was for dinner, he said, "Cool!" and started slicing! So all I had to do was make the topping. I'm doing this more often! And considering all my helpers and all my apples, you all are invited - dinner is in 45 min (or until lightly browned).

Dawn in OH Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 We like to have dinners like that every now and then. If you are worried about being a dreadful parent for it, ask the kids what they think of dinner and Mom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sarathan Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 No, you wouldn't be a bad parent and please let me know what time you'll be serving dinner so I won't be late. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babysparkler Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hey, I did cocoa puffs last week :lol:... yours sounds much more nutritious that that!!! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in NH Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 That actually sounds pretty healthy! My in-laws were aghast when I served my kids homemade pumpkin pie for breakfast. We do it two or three times per year, and the kids LOVE it! And we also do leftover birthday cake for breakfast. It's one of our birthday traditions...

Truscifi Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Yummy! I think it sounds great. I wouldn't recommend doing it every night, but once in a while it is a good thing to spoil yourself and your family :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 And we also do leftover birthday cake for breakfast. It's one of our birthday traditions... We usually have the birthday cake for breakfast. Why wait all day? Then we have the leftovers after lunch and sup. :001_smile: Is anyone else reminded of the Bill Cosby bit when he gives his dc cake for breakfast and they sing, "Dad is great! Gives us the chocolate cake?" IIRC, he said the cake had flour, eggs, etc and it was a balanced meal.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Haven't read all the responses but this reminds me of when my friend told me they usually have popcorn and cereal on Sun nights. Maybe a frozen pizza if she has one. She feels Sun is her night off from cooking. I adopted that idea fairly quickly. Now my kids are surprised if I *do* cook on Sun.

kewb Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Nothing wrong with a treat like that. One of my friends mothers used to spring Banana split dinners on them. You never knew when it was going to happen and when it did-the best thing ever. To summarize-as a steady diet-no. Once in awhile-go for it.
