TACO SLOPPY JOES RECIPE

My kids and I like to play something we call the “Favorites Game” when we are trying to pass the time. It’s a pretty simple activity and not so much a game, even though that’s what we call it. 😂

Basically we take turns asking each other what our favorite things are. I might start by asking them what their favorite book is. After everyone answers, then the next person will go and ask whatever they choose. Examples might include favorite color, ice cream flavor, movie, superhero, Disney princess, dessert, outside activity, holiday, place that we’ve lived, etc. We do it a lot when we are waiting somewhere, like at the doctor’s office or at a restaurant.

It’s a fun game to play because it keeps them occupied for a little while, and I enjoy hearing what their favorite things are since they actually change pretty frequently! The kids think it’s funny though because my answers usually stay the same, and they actually like to guess what all of mine are because they remember them. The one they NEVER forget is my favorite food/dinner: TACOS!
