Whoa! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a totally different topic but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Great choice of colors!

I love the menu board idea. I have it on bits of pieces of paper around the house but that makes it nice and official. LOVE IT. I want to do this now. I really need help with OFFICIAL. I mean official helps me get things done.

Hope you can stand another comment on the “kid’s menu.” Although expecting them to eat the family meal is a great idea, it doesn’t always work out that way in reality. I’ve got one picky eater and one who eats what we do. Even picky eaters can easily get all the nutrition they need (fortified bread, cereal, etc.) Sometimes it’s a phase, sometimes a power issue but it will last longer (in my opinion) if you turn it into a fight. Anyway, I don’t condider slapping together a pb&j for a 3 year old who will eat little else as making a separate meal. And of course, it’s organic p, reduced sugar j, on whole wheat b.
I’m sure you won’t have to worry about any of this anyway since everything you make looks so delicious, I doubt even the most fickle and unreasonable toddler could resist.

I am SO glad to hear all of you say that kids will eat what you put in front of them. That has always been my philosophy for when I have children, but I have so many friends who cook separate meals for their kids (and you know, since I don’t have any, I can’t really consider myself an authority on the subject…!). Thanks for the encouragement from all of you moms.

Oh, and Ivonne, (and anyone else who’d like to come!): Of course you’re invited to dinner! You name the date!

I love hearing about your menu plans! While we don’t actually write down our menu for the week, we always formulate some sort of plan on Sunday as to what we’ll be eating during the week. As you pointed out it doesn’t always turn out that way. Things come up or sometimes you’re just too busy. But the point is that you start out with the best intentions and that’s a great way to approach eating. I think that’s what ensures that you’re eating a healthy diet and including all foods (in moderation) in your life.

As for the whole “kids” issue, you know when I was growing up, we ate what my parents ate. End of story. My mother NEVER and I mean NEVER prepared different food for us. (Ok … that’s not true. Once a year she’d make pig’s feet and cabbage for herself and my father so on that night we ate something different). IF we didn’t like what my mom had made … too bad! We learned to like it.

Your menus are fantastic! I’d love to have dinner at your house! (Hint … hint …)

I think that whole ’seperate menu for the kids’ thing is nuts. if you start off expecting them to try things and don’t make a big deal about non”kid food” they will just eat what you eat.

Me too. A life without lists is not a life I’m interested in. I love your meal planning board, a girl after my own heart!

I do a menu plan too.And as for the people that scoff at what kids will eat….we have never prepared seperate dinners for our kids and they eat like we do.Kids learn to eat by what you feed them.One of my kids favorite foods is Sushi.And not California rolls.lol.
You’re menu sounds really good.
