Menu Plan January 16-22

This week we're starting a new meal tradition. Once a month we're going to pick a letter of the alphabet and come up with a menu of food items or recipes that start with that letter. I printed out alphabet cards and Daddy randomly drew the letter "r."

Then we sat down together and collaborated on a menu. The kids had lots of ideas, but Mr. Lego came up with the main dish - rigatoni. We're also going to have romaine salad, rolls, and root beer to drink. For dessert, raspberry oatmeal bars. Next month we'll do the same thing with another letter. Daddy is hoping for "x" - so we can have x-tra dessert, x-tra large helpings, etc.

Here's the rest of the week's plan:

Sunday
Chicken enchilada soup

Monday
"R" menu - rigatoni, romaine salad, rolls, raspberry oatmeal bars, root beer

Tuesday
Bacon ranch chicken, mashed potatoes, corn

Wednesday
Pan-seared tilapia, steamed broccoli

Thursday
Cheeseburger soup in bread bowls

Friday
Dinner at friends

Saturday
Bourbon chicken, rice
