Yesterday The Kid helped me plan this week's menu. Giving my six year old the biggest vote on what we're eating led to some fairly predictable results and a lot of ground turkey, but it's good writing practice and a chance to learn some household skills. (From me. Now that's funny.)
Here's the menu:
I'm sharing this new foray into household management with the Organizational Junkie for Meal Plan Monday. It's the place to go if you don't know what's for dinner!
Here's the menu:
Sunday - turkey burgers and sweet potato friesBest of all, he's very excited to cook. He said he'd let me help with the chopping and hot stuff, though!
Monday - pizza
Tuesday - Tae Kwon Do night [dinner on the fly]
Wednesday - spaghetti and meatballs and green beans
Thursday - chili and cornbread
Friday - alphabet soup [second page not shown]

I'm pretty sure that if I were The Kid, I'd write the following to my mom:
Monday: Pizza
Tuesday: Pizza
Wednesday: Pizza
Thursday: Pizza
Friday: Mac-n-cheese
Of course, I tended to crave the things I couldn't have (ie. cheese and milk products by the truck loads). You've got some great recipes and that's such a great writing exercise idea!
That's exactly what he tried to do! (Minus the mac & cheese.) I don't think my husband would have objected to a week of pizza, either!
that is so cute! I am pretty impressed he asked for green beans!! bless him!
This is absolutely fabulous! What a creative way to do so many things--there's the writing practice, planning, considering schedules, organizing...wow! You are making me very excited for the day that my little guy and I will be able to do this together. Did I mention tha tI love this?
What a great idea! Guppy likes to help out in the kitchen, but I've never asked her to help plan the weeks meals before - a great idea.
(missed you!)
Hmm, yes, I could probably do a week of pizza too! Though, anything with sweet potato fries sounds fantastic!
What, no tacos? :)
