To whoever suggested make your own taco night: Thank you! They loved it. We had crunchy taco shells, corn tortillas and flour tortillas. We had grated mild cheddar cheese, chopped lettuce, hamburger, pinto beans, tomatoes and Pace picante sauce. It was nostalgic for me and G — we both grew up with taco nights — and both kids seemed pretty enthusiastically happy with it.

My kids love taco nights, and “make your own pizza” night, too (with personal sized pizzas for each).
Hurray!!!
Up with tacos! This is also one of our favorite meals with the kids.
Hooray for tacos! We’ve had similar success with baked potato night. Over Christmas break, we had a vegetarian, four flexatarians, a pescaterian, a carnivore and a toddler at the table. Everybody found something to enjoy among the bowls of toppings: garlic mushrooms, cheddar cheese, steamed broccoli, sauteed chicken, chili, sour cream, butter, salt and pepper. You control the vertical and the horizontal by presenting the choices, but everyone feels like they’re in control of their own dinner. Priceless!
