I am babysitting 3 very picky children one day this weekend and I am in need of a child friendly meal for dinner that does not contain any of the following items…

ground beef
pork chops
saurkraut
tomatoes (or tomato sauce)
green beans
chicken legs (but will eat chicken breast)
cottage cheese
macaroni and cheese
hot dogs
nuts (of any type)
leafy greens
mozzerella cheese
mushrooms
zucchini
squash
eggplant
eggs
and they dislike those easy boxed dinners and store bought bread.

any help is highly appreciated!

I am trying to start growing a garden. I have NEVER tried to grow one before so I really don’t know where to start. I live in Jacksonville, Fl. My area where I am planting the garden is alot of sand. I got organic soil and manure from the store. The thing is I’m really not sure how much of each thing i need. I’m trying to grow cucmbers, yellow squash, zucchini, chives, and green beans. Someone please help!! As soon as i get rid of the mice I would like to start.

I’ve been having a problem with raccoons and woodchucks. Last year, they stole over half of my tomatoes and all my watermelons, zucchini, and sweet corn leaving only my peppers. Repellents such as hair, fox urine and capascin or bitter sprays have not worked for me. They keep out the deer and rabbits, but the raccons and woodchucks are smart enough to overcome both them and my Hav-a-Hart trap. I’ve been thinking about purchasing an electric garden fence. Has anyone had any experience with these? Are they worth the cost?

I planted a beautiful garden, was admiring my watermelons, butternut squash, yellow squash, and zucchini one day and the next they were eaten to the bottom. All gone. They are slowly moving into my beans and peas. Won’t touch tomatoes though. I tried sevin dust and other sprays. Is there any other options, store bought or homeade. I almost cried over this b/c of our hard work!

I’m growing Zucchini and summersquash and recently have found that the male squash blossoms on my plants are being be-headed. they will be lying on the ground in the morning. Something is chewing through the stems at night. Does anyone have any ideas what kind of pest this can be?

I know they can eat zucchini, but what else? Can they eat fruit?

I know that pumpkins, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, green beans, walnuts, pinecones are all technically fruit since a fruit is the ripened ovary together with seeds of a flowering plant.

I think I’m going to make blackened chicken ( http://www.recipezaar.com/229929 ) with zucchini couscous on the side ( http://www.recipezaar.com/31597 ) and some kind of other veggie, maybe carrots.

What are YOU having?? =)

I might try to add zucchini or eggplant slices to my lasagna. Do I need to cook it first? I’m thinking of making meatballs on the side, & keeping the ground meat out. Would spinach work here too? Canned or fresh or frozen?
