"Some things just go better with milk Mom," my five-year-old son told me last night. I had just put dinner in front of the kids and had simultaneously asked them what they wanted to drink while reaching in the fridge for the milk that wasn't there.

I had forgotten it, of course. In my post-work-pre-kid-pick-up mad dash through the grocery store, I had grabbed the things we needed for dinner and forgot the milk — in my defense it is always in the very back corner of the grocery store and so easily forgotten.

"We're all out of milk buddy, but Daddy is going to pick it up on his way home." I then offered a whole bunch of other beverage options at which point he made his "better with milk" comment.

It's taco night. In fact, my three-ingredient slow cooker chicken tacos night and he's right, tacos do taste better with milk.

While the kids' glasses sat empty waiting for Daddy to come home with the milk, I sat down to my regular lukewarm dinner and asked (genuinely curious as to what my kids would say) "what else tastes better with milk?" "Cheesy pasta!" my four-year-old daughter yells. By cheesy pasta she means my lightened up baked mac and cheese.
