weekly meal plans

Actually we're doing a monthly plan. Essentially it's Breakfast for Dinner (BFD) on Sundays, soup or stew on Mondays, Mexican on Tuesdays, Meat on Wednesdays, Pasta on Thursdays, Chicken on Fridays (Shabbat dinner), and Fish on Saturdays... with plenty of wiggle room. This was all to get the kids to eat better and provide some predictability.

I've stuck with it over a month and it's going well. Ben, who eats *nothing* has actually been taking a bite or two.

I've tried a few recipes from Deceptively Delicious with great success. I already was the master at adding vegetables to food but it's nice to have a few new recipes.

Anyway - next week's meal plan: We switched BFD to tonight because Ed will be home tomorrow and wants the falafel that was planned for tonight. So
Sunday: Falafel (with home meade pita because I can't eat the cardboard they sell in the supermarket
Monday: Cellar Soup (a recipe from the food network minus the bacon)
Tuesday: Make your own tacos
Wednesday: Shephards' pie
Thursday: Thanksgiving :)
Friday will probably be Thanksgiving leftovers
Saturday: Tilapia and piroges and some kind of veggie

For Thanksgiving we're making apple and pear bisque, turkey, root vegetable and wild rice salad, green beans, rolls, mashed sweet potatoes, apple pie, and pumpkin roll. We're having 9 adults and 3 kids.
