Menu Plan Monday - Eliza’s birthday edition

October 5th, 2009

We got home yesterday from a weekend at the Nick Hotel in Orlando with Chuck, Stacy and the cousins where we had a wonderful time doing a little pre-birthday celebrating with Eliza. (If you ever get to go, be sure to do so. It’s just a lot of fun.) I’m reasonably sure we’re going to spend most of the rest of the week celebrating as well. Menu Plan Monday

Have I mentioned that I hate packing lunches? Because of Griff’s food allergies, it’s safer for me to pack his lunch. But the things he’ll eat for lunch aren’t things that translate well to travel. He also got the unlucky draw of having PE right after lunch, so everything needs to be really light. So we’re working with the trial and error method at this point. Right now, he’s liking vegetable sushi (which I’m going to try to learn to make myself) and hummus with pretzels and fruit. I’ll take any other suggestions anyone might have.

Monday - turkey burgers with fries and apple slices

Tuesday - chicken Ceasar salad wraps (Eliza most likely won’t eat it, but I may deconstruct one for her and see what happens)

Wednesday - Eliza’s 6th birthday - I always let the kids choose, and she wants to go to the Mongolian Grill. I’ll make her a cake, too… pink with rainbow icing… again, her choice. Wait… no, she just told me she wants to go to Chuck E Cheese. I don’t know where we’re going, but we’re going out.

Thursday - chicken and yellow rice (love the Crock-Pot)

Friday - paninis … easy Friday food
