Menu Plan for October 5 – 11

Doodle, my 15 year-old, is my least picky eater. She is also in Texas visiting her grandmother for the next two weeks. This makes menu planning a challenge. While I refuse to cater to the boys’ pickiness, I find that it’s really nice to have at least one person saying, “Yay! This is delicious, Mom!” About the only things that will elicit that from everyone in the family are my chicken with shallots, my spaghetti with tuna sauce (recipe coming Monday afternoon), spaghetti with Italian sausage, and homemade pizza. I’m going to try to spread those out among the days of the next two weeks, so that I can get some “yays” during that time.  So here’s this week:

Monday:

Breakfast: Farina, fruit, milk
Lunch: Grilled cheese sandwiches, chips, fruit
Dinner: Spaghetti con sugo di tonno (spaghetti with tuna sauce)
