If you’re having a little trouble with your menu planning, it’s obviously because you don’t have a 6-year-old who’s the boss of everything. Sorry about that.

Sounds delicious to me!
November 9, 2009 at 2:18 pm |
Love it! My “boss” is 5 and she hasn’t discovered the menu, yet.
November 9, 2009 at 2:37 pm |
We could share families – we have “Pessa” almost as often as you do! (At least when the kids are in charge of the men-you)
November 9, 2009 at 2:45 pm |
Can Grant come over and do my menyou for the month? All my six-year-olds have disappeared.
November 9, 2009 at 3:17 pm |
Now why didn’t I think to have tacos and pizza that many times??!! I am so silly. If it were up to LQ we would have cheese and olives every single day.

I am so turning my menu planning responsibilities over to my six year olds. I can’t believe I didn’t think of this before!
November 9, 2009 at 4:34 pm |
i didn’t notice the vegetable choices for each dinner… obviously a flaw in the calendar format.
and fyi, this menu is more varied then the menu i had when i lived alone…
November 9, 2009 at 4:59 pm |
Ok, seriously impressed by the variety. My boys….if they had to do a meal plan would look something like this….noodles, hot dogs, cheese, chocolate with a side of chocolate milk with cookies for dessert

You are lucky to be able to enjoy having only one “boss” around the kitchen so far. But I am sure the younger siblings will soon join in. My kids all have strong opinions about what they like to eat and it is hard to know what I choose to make for dinner will please some and disappoint others. But it seems very few meals please all.
November 9, 2009 at 5:43 pm |
Wow, he’s got some really good options on there. Mind if I borrow that? =P
November 9, 2009 at 6:18 pm |
Grant is hilarious. You should save this and then give it to his wife when he gets married, as an example of his domestic abilities…lol,,
November 9, 2009 at 7:28 pm |
Sounds like my daughters suggestions. And then there are the nights when she requests just cookies…
November 9, 2009 at 7:41 pm |
Man, and to think I wasted energy planning a month-long menu of my own today. Who knew I could come here for men-yous, too. Can you please post December’s by the 2nd so I don’t waste my time again?
p.s. I love that he didn’t forget trke on Thnksgving.
November 9, 2009 at 8:40 pm |
This is THE BEST.
November 9, 2009 at 10:10 pm |
Hey! at least it he put some though into it.
Who ever thought of planning menus in advance? Mine was always whatever I could think of a half hour before dinner time and had the ingrerdients to make.
November 9, 2009 at 11:14 pm |
Grant would love the Wood household menu! That’s how all the boys in this family eat- including the 35 year old boy:)
November 9, 2009 at 11:17 pm |
I just so love kid spelling. It’s one of my favorite things ever.
November 9, 2009 at 11:31 pm |
Awesome. It’s never too early to start missionary training — as long as the hot dogs aren’t eaten RAW, and ramen isn’t a daily staple. Really, I’m very impressed!
November 10, 2009 at 1:11 am |
Does he hire out? Because, seriously, I need someone like this in my life.
November 10, 2009 at 9:03 am |
Is it wrong that I am thinking of copying his monthly menu?
November 10, 2009 at 1:44 pm |
That is hysterically precious!
November 10, 2009 at 2:42 pm |
Oh, I am so relieved- in 2 years my son will be old enough to start taking over the ‘menyou’ duties. Seriously- planning it is the worst part! I’m ok with the shopping and cooking, it’s coming up with ideas that kills me. MMMMmmmm….tokos.
November 10, 2009 at 6:11 pm |
That’s awesome. I’m totally having my kids make this–then if I actually serve what they have on there, they can’t whine. Brilliant.
November 11, 2009 at 12:32 pm |
Oh, this one’s a treasure.
