Looking for a nutritious, delicious dinner that your whole family will love? Silly question -- of course you are. Aren't we all ... always? Well, have I got one for you. It's called Oh My Goodness Chicken, and it's amazing.

I originally saw it flying around on Pinterest and gave it a try one night. I was glad I did. It's moist, crunchy, and flavorful, and it couldn't be easier. My kids and husband loved it, and it's one that immediately was entered into our regular dinner rotation. While there are various adaptations of the recipe, the following is the combination I've found we like best.

Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Comfort food. It never gets old. And it doesn't matter what time of year it is, there's really nothing better than a hot, steaming plate of goodness -- especially when it takes little to no effort to make.

And this awesome Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese recipe from Food.com will probably wind up being a staple in your house once you try it and realize how easy it is to throw together.

It only takes about 10 minutes to put all of the ingredients into the slow cooker, then you turn it on, forget about it, and in a couple hours, you have a delicious classic that's sure to please the whole family.

Whether you're making chili or burgers, you may occasionally opt to buy ground turkey over beef. But you might need to think twice about that now. Consumer Reports is saying that any ground turkey you buy at the supermarket is laden with potentially dangerous bacteria.

Six things to know about the research ...

Gloria Chubb was making dinner like it was any other night and opened a can of Meijer green beans to pop in the microwave and serve up with meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and gravy. She didn't notice anything out of the ordinary until her son pointed it out at the dinner table: Something that was definitely NOT a green bean had come out of that can ...

She told her local affiliate of CNN that she "thought it was maybe a piece of moldy bacon or something. Because they have bacon in them sometimes. I had it in my hand because I was trying to figure out what it was. And I took it out of there and it wasn't moldy bacon. It was a toad with parts of his little legs all in the green beans, other than that he was fully intact." Oh yes, it was totally an amphibian! Can you even imagine?!

I don't know about you, but we love pizza at our place. We love pizza from the pizza joint around the corner, and we love making our own pizza at home. But for the ultimate pizza-inspired snack, there's pizza roll-ups made with crescent rolls. They're kind of like hot pockets without all the creepy, mysterious ingredients. Calzones without the insane calorie count. Best of all, they're fun and easy enough for kids to make with you. Here's a recipe for making your own crescent pizza roll-ups.

I'm not sure what the final straw was. Maybe public school cafeteria food. But when I was freshman in high school, I decided enough was enough. I was too freaked out by beef -- the looks of it, the smell, I wasn't a fan of how it tasted or the texture -- and I was never going to eat red meat again. Like most kids born in the '80s, I'd grown up on Spaghetti-Os and sloppy joes. But if given my choice, I'd never ask for it. The only "red meat" that I ever wanted was bologna and that was only as a little kid (on rye bread with mayo, please!).

By 14, if Mom made stuffed peppers, steak, or burgers for dinner, I'd boycott or make my own meal. Sometimes, she'd take my preference into consideration, which was sweet. I declared myself a semi-vegetarian (but was technically a pesce-pollotarian), and I'd joke that if I married a guy who wanted steak, he could cook it himself. I wasn't going to learn. I didn't want anything to do with it. I didn't need it. Until ... I did.

We know most kids love chicken nuggets. But what's exactly in those things? How do they get them into those dinosaur shapes? I'll let my son have some of those mystery meat nuggets every once in a while. But if you want the best of both worlds (fun kid-friendly food that's a little more wholesome), you've gotta make your own. Here's the good thing -- it's not really that hard! Even better, your kids will have fun making these with you. Here's a recipe for homemade chicken nuggets.

Look for panko bread crumbs in the international section of your grocery store. These Japanese-style crumbs make an especially light and crisp coating for your nuggets. But any other breadcrumbs will also work.

As part of my campaign to secure the title of "NOT Mother of the Year," I have a bit of a confession to make. We don't do the whole sit and eat dinner at the table as a family thing -- like ever. Well, maybe on special occasions, but most evenings, it just doesn't happen.

I guess I'd better just go ahead and admit it. My 7-year-old eats dinner in front of the TV -- pretty much every night.

And yes, I'm fully aware that there are all sorts of studies saying that kids who sit down and eat dinner at the table as a family are more content, do better in school, don't grow up to be convicts, and all that good stuff.

But none of that is going to convince me that my son needs to move his meals from the family room to the kitchen.
