The question, "What's for dinner?" used to take a lot of thought to answer, but for the past 3 weeks, my dinners have been planned for me, and they've been delicious! I'm not sure exactly how I came across Menus 4 Moms, but the site provides all the instructions I need to prepare a variety of healthy dinners for my family, including a detailed shopping list which even estimates the cost for each item. These menus include all the sides and even desserts.
Some of the meals we've really enjoyed have been White Chicken Chili with Cornbread, Waffles with Bacon, eggs, and fruit cocktail, Turkey Green Bean Casserole. Many of the leftovers have turned into lunches for me, but last week we served up all our leftovers Sunday after church for my sister-in-law and her boyfriend - they really enjoyed the food!
The only problem I have with these menus is that my twin 2-year-olds are very picky and won't touch much of it - some things even my 3-year-old doesn't prefer. I anticipate that over time this will cease being an issue. My family is now eating a much greater variety of foods, and I feel healthier.
These menus are available for free, but I can sign up to receive a better, ad-free version for a small fee. There are a ton of other great resources at the website, and if I have any question about the menus, I can always post my concern on their yahoo group and receive a quick answer.
