Menu Planning

Last night our family planned a month's worth of dinner menus.  I had everyone write down seven or more ideas on small papers and we put them in a bucket and drew out random ones.  Here is some of what we got (with original spelling):

TV Diners, and milk

Hard-boiled eggs, broccoli, strawberries

Pasta w/ Bolognese sauce (or simple marinara), Green salad w/ oil/vinegar dressing, Garlic Bread or Cheese bread or Bruschetta

Pancakes, surap, and milk

Kulslaw, slopy Joes, and milk

Grandma's Ultimate Spagetti with Garlic Bread

Grandma's great spegitti with salad

Chips and salsa with corn

Spaghetti with tomato soace, milk, corn

Make your one salid niete

Woffles, surap, and milk

Beef Stroganoff w/ thin-sliced beeeef!, corn, beans, a roll

Fruit salad

french toast, surap, milk, and powderd surger

neyncoyyo (?)

eggs on toast, clementines

craB cakes with tarter sas

macroned (macaroni and cheese)

fish sticks with ketchup, milk, and corn

chicken

toast with Mom's jam

botie pasta with garlick bread :)

ATK Tacos w: tomatoes, lettuce, guac, sour cream, black beans, mashed, arroz!(brown)

Tomato soup with grilled cheese and grilled tuna sandwiches

I see several trends here.  We want breakfast for dinner, corn for our vegetable, and we want lots of pasta.  And someone wants milk with every one of her dinners.  Interesting.

  1. So cute! That's a good idea to get the kids' input. I love the milk with every meal and the corn as the choice of veggie. Breakfast for dinner isn't a bad thing! It's easy and filling! We'd have it more often if the man 'o' the house would eat it with us. ;)

  2. Looks like I am going to have to get that "Grandma's Ultimate Spaghetti" recipe. Ambyr requests it for dinner at least once every other week. I need some new recipes to change it up a bit. Would you mind sending it to me? All the spelling is cute. :) I love all the decorations and crafty things you have been making: so talented Tara! And very envious about the mom cave, can't wait to have one of those someday.
