Menu Question...

[SilverSabre25]

I think we need to a group meal menu, I'll find my book and i'll start it. I find that I fall in a rut too. So if I have a large list it would be great.
I wish I had leftovers, my kids eat everything for dinner and if there is leftover then dh takes it to work or I pack it in my kids lunch. We have a rule in my house that if I call you (this is mainly for dh) and you don't come for dinner when I call you, I can't gaurentee there is going to be food left for you.

I've been thinking the same thing. I'm going to post my menu when I get done with it...sometime this century, !

Since my lunch menu changes each month I can't show you every meal but here is my lunch menu this month.

I have a 6 week rotation. Some breakfasts do repeat in that time (bagels, cereal about once/week, etc.). The lunches are all different, but I do things like homemade cheese pizza and french bread pizza (to use up bread from hoagies earlier in the week). All unique but some are similar. Snacks are all different except for one that is every 3 weeks, but we do have fresh fruit once every week and veggies with dip once a week-just diff. fruits and veggies. I do add a new lunch every time I repeat the menu, and I do take things off if they are repeatedly not eaten.

i love it! your lunch menu looks a lot like my dinner menu for my family! My daycare lunch menu doesn't have nearly as much per meal, is that a food program requirement (hitting all the food groups in a meal) or do you prefer to do it that way?

I have picky littles (1 year olds) so a lot of stuff on menues I find on line wouldn't work for my group

I am not on the food program although I know I could be with what I serve. I just figure that as a parent I would want my kids getting well rounded meals no matter where they are. My DCPs often say they wish they could have lunch at my house. LOL

oh, and I wanted to add my kids don't always eat everything on their plates but they have learned to try because they may like it.

I have 4 kids all together including my own. My DD is 23 months, i watch a 14 month, 9 month and a 5 month old. Right now its so hard to come up with a menu for different eaters. One with few teeth, one that can't use a spoon and one that old enough to eat anything. Lunch is so frustrating to find something they can ALL eat. Not to mention my husband lost his job in January, so our only income is the kids. I can't wait till he gets a job and we have more money coming in to make a menu and stick to it! Plus the kids will get older so it will be easier too! :-)

I love your variety for your meals. When I made my schedule I'll have to add breakfast and snack to it as well or else I'll be looking at three calendars in a day. LOL
