Menu Plan Monday… Griff’s in charge

November 9th, 2009

We did an allergy patch test with Griff and canned pumpkin, and he made a crack about me never making things that I don’t like (which is completely untrue). But, to give the child an opportunity to have whatever he enjoys, I put him in charge of making this week’s menu.

Sunday - Chuck and Stacy and the cousins are coming to spend the day (The boys and I are working on secret Christmas presents… I am so honored to have been allowed to participate. Sure, neither of them can drive, so someone had to help, but still). We’re having burgers and chips and dips and fun stuff (broccoli apple slaw … one of my new favorites) for lunch with them. For dinner, we’re going easy with fund-raiser Little Ceasar’s pizza.

Broccoli apple slaw (c/o “Hungry Girl 200 under 200″)

  • 1 Fuji and 1 Granny Smith apple
  • 1 package broccoli slaw mix
  • 1 small container plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 tbs honey
  • pinch of Splenda

Mix all of the ingredients together & let them sit together a bit. Crispy and crunchy and just a tad bit tangy and sweet.

Monday - meatball subs with carrot sticks

Tuesday - lasagne

Wednesday - chicken enchiladas

Thursday - homemade macaroni and cheese

Friday - leftover enchiladas (or take-out, depending on how much Mexican is left)

Now, what the smart-aleck pre-teen doesn’t know is that I’m going to healthy up every single one of his recipes. Ha.
