Fish and Chips with Tartar Sauce

This meal is a guaranteed quiet one. In a house with two toddlers, this is a rarity! The only commentary I receive is, "Mommy, this is delicious! Can I have some more!" Music to my ears. I generally pair this with some kind of green salad and some cut fruit. Hope you have the same success that I've had!
