The Food Nanny

I watched the Food Nanny on BYUtv on Saturday and I really liked an idea she presented on planning dinners. She suggested having a theme night each night of the week. For example:

Monday - Italian Night
Tuesday - Traditional Foods or Crock Pot Night
Wednesday - Mexican Night
Thursday - Fish or Meatless night
Friday - Date Night/Pizza Night
Saturday- Grill Night
Sunday - Comfort Foods

I have been in a dinner rut lately, and I think this will help with meal planning. The Food Nanny plans meals two weeks at a time, to eliminate trips to the grocery store.

Another thing about having theme nights is to help your kids know what to expect for dinner and it supposed to help encourage the picky eaters to eat. They will know what kind of food to expect for dinner.
