“Menyou” planning

09 Nov

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.

    Love it! My “boss” is 5 and she hasn’t discovered the menu, yet.

    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)

    Can Grant come over and do my menyou for the month? All my six-year-olds have disappeared.

    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!

    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…

    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.

    Wow, he’s got some really good options on there. Mind if I borrow that? =P

    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,,

    Sounds like my daughters suggestions. And then there are the nights when she requests just cookies…

    p.s. I love that he didn’t forget trke on Thnksgving.

    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.

    Grant would love the Wood household menu! That’s how all the boys in this family eat- including the 35 year old boy:)

    I just so love kid spelling. It’s one of my favorite things ever.

    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!

    Does he hire out? Because, seriously, I need someone like this in my life.

    Is it wrong that I am thinking of copying his monthly menu?

    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.

    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.

    Oh, this one’s a treasure.

     

Please say something. I've said enough. :)
