Menu Plan Monday, Kids Pick
We are inching closer to the new year and I find when I’m busy it’s really helpful to have a menu plan. It helps to keep us from eating out and I know what we are having for dinner so I can prepare what we need ahead of time.
This week my kids planned our menu. They did really well.
The BLT’s weren’t a surprise as they both love them.
But I was surprised that they wanted southern fried tofu this week. It’s a recipe I found years ago and they still love it. Although I’m not sure my son knows he’s eating tofu. I think he thinks it chicken.
What’s cooking at your house this week?
Here’s what’s on our Menu for this Week,

That’s so funny that your son thinks your tofu dish is actually chicken! I wish I could “trick” my kids like that…dinner is always such a struggle with my son…he only seems to want to eat crackers, yogurt and desserts. Hopefully when he’s a teenager, he’ll just eat everything in sight and then I can feed him a more balanced diet 😉
Have a great week!
I know Erin, he has always believed it’s chicken. But he’s been eating it most of his life and I think that helped but he does have things he just won’t eat too. Crackers are also popular at our house as well as desserts.
