My sister in law Jacquie (a mother of 3) called to wish me good luck on this venture and remind me that the key to this task (and feeding our families and ourselves in general) is BEING PREPARED. I definitely agree. I have about 27 recipes so far (thank you everyone who has been sending me some) and will post the calendar by the end of the week. Next week will be all about getting the kitchen ready and a game plan (i.e. what prep can be done the night before, etc).
Also, we decided on what to do if no dinner is eaten. First, I will be absolutely sure that there is something for everyone in the meal. If they choose not to eat, that's fine, but for the rest of the night, the only food option is dinner.
I actually did this the Monday evening. I made a recipe that had something for everyone: : shell pasta tossed with rotisserie chicken, broccoli, butter and some parm - my kids like to sprinkle on their own parm (aka "snow).
Jack & Liam flat out refused any of it. I offered it to them again later on with no luck and did not offer them anything else. Surprisingly, there were no tantrums (i think it was just luck!). The next morning, Liam at 3x the amount of breakfast he normally does.
Keep the ideas/recipes coming.
Thanks!
