Menu Plan 3/31 - 4/5

Kids choice this week!

Now that the girls and I are back on the road to recovery ( Chris is still hanging in there), and with one "normal" week of meals under our belt, we are starting back with our kids choice options. Every Monday night Paige gets to choose the dinner, and on Thursday nights Ashley gets to choose.

Not only do they choose the entrees, but they also prep the meal, set the table and help clean up. So far they love it and look forward to doing to again this week. Sometimes their selections are a bit weird or humorous, but I try to go with the flow. This week Ashley has opted to make and plan dinner on Tuesday, April Fools Day. She says she can't wait to "trick" us. Should I be worried?

Any yummy recipes I come up with, I will post and link to my family blog.

Monday ( Paige's cooking day):
chocolate chip pancakes
turkey bacon
watermelon
white grape peach juice

Tuesday( Ashley's cooking day):
A "mixed up dinner" to be revealed at a later date
