Hey Friends!
Today was National TV Dinner Day
and my family celebrated accordingly...
I even have the indigestion to go with it...
Not that you want to hear about my indigestion,
but sharing is caring right? Haha!
No... was that a bit awkward?
Okay...
On to what you're really here for...
Pictures!
This afternoon
we took the kids to the store
and everyone picked out their meals.

My daughter chose the creamy chicken & shrimp, my son picked out the herb
roasted chicken, hubster picked parmesan pasta with rosemary chicken,
and I, the chicken margherita.
After what felt like a million minutes
at the microwave,
starting, stopping, stirring,
removing film, replacing film
and of course letting the meals rest,
we finally were able to sit down and eat.
It was in somewhere in between
stirring and replacing film
that I realized
how much I dislike
TV dinners.
Well... maybe not the dinners themselves,
but the making of them for sure.
Haha!
So, while we were enjoying our meals,
the little guy in the middle said it's not a
true TV dinner unless we're eating in front of the TV...
The boy was right, so I decided to be
the cool mom tonight and
in front of the TV they ate
every last morsel.

(like how I stuck the ants on a log in there, lol)
Today was a holiday
that I had a tough time with.
Our kids eat fairly healthy
and before today
had no interest in TV Dinners.
I found that the kids made
interesting choices,
but we said they could whatever they wanted
and they did...
The question is did they like it?
Yes and No...
My daughter liked the veggies and the meats in her meal,
but said the pasta and sauce were bland.
My son ate the whole meal,
something he never does.
Will we celebrate this holiday again?
Maybe...
But probably not. LOL!
Tomorrow is:
Hot Cross Buns Day
Make Your Bed Day
Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance
What will tomorrow's post be like?
I can't say, you'll have to visit me to find out!
I never knew that there was a national TV dinner day. My husband likes to eat them any day of the week.
ReplyDeleteI never knew there was a national TV dinner day. I have to agree with tv dinners give me heart burn as well
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny. And yay for you for not having to cook!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to have a few of these on hand for those emergencies or lazy days :)
ReplyDeleteToo funny! We've eaten many dinners in front of the TV, and we love Marie Callender's!
ReplyDeleteNational tv dinner day? Love to have some dinners on hand when I just don't feel like cooking.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I didn't know there was a national TV dinner day!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know there was a National TV Dinner Day. I don't know a lot of the national days, to be honest- there are so many!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like such a fun day. There really is a day for everything.
ReplyDeleteWe had TV dinners when I was a kid. I haven't had one since, lol. I wish I'd have known it was TV Dinner Day, ha! That'd be fun to celebrate once. :)
ReplyDeleteI celebrate TV dinner day way too often, lol! I'm not a great cook, but I can microwave a meal like a champ! Sounds like you had fun mixing things up from the norm!
ReplyDeleteVery cool I must say TV dinners sure have changed since I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the herb roasted chicken. I love how yummy these TV dinners are becoming. Certainly not the same TV dinners as when we were little.
ReplyDeleteWe don't buy TV Dinners.. didn't even know there was this day, but today I had a lunchable ... equally as fun lol
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that they had a national tv dinner day that is so funny. I have a freezer full of tv dinners for all the busy weeks when I can't or won't make something to eat.
ReplyDeleteYuck! I do not like those things at all...I'd rather eat a bologna sandwich.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of those, but my hubby is LOL Good thing he didn't know about this day LOL
ReplyDeleteTV dinner day? I'm not a fan of those, but my man is for sure! Amber N
ReplyDeletetv dinners are great for convience! I like the chicken ones. I also send them with the hubby for lunch.
ReplyDeleteI love celebrating those fun national days! I have a book that lists a lot of them along with a study to go along with it. It takes maybe 5 minutes to an hr. I planned to incorporate into our homeschool but haven't been able to so far. I am still hopping to work it in.
ReplyDeleteNational Make your Bed Day? What!!!? Who comes up with these things!?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day to celebrate. I think these are great ways to get out of a slump and just CELEBRATE! (Amanda Mcmahon)
ReplyDeleteWow! Seems like there's a day for everything huh? I don't really eat too much TV dinners but when we do we try and eat healthy ones.
ReplyDeleteMarie Callendars has AMAZING foods. My Mom got me hooked on them!
ReplyDeleteSometimes when you dont want to cook, enjoying a TV is a option. I need to pick up a few for diner this week.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this holiday. I've never heard of it. It sounds like a fun holiday to celebrate. Maybe we'll celebrate next year.
