My latest post: Toddler Self-Analysis...
A blog by mom/graphic designer, Jane Maynard, with the best husband and daughters in the world who tries to cook dinner daily and couldn't do it without Trader Joe's.
Welcome to This Week for Dinner...
I am a mom/graphic designer who doesn't mind cooking but can't ever come up with what to cook. This Week for Dinner(TM) is a place where we can share ideas for weekly menu planning. Every Sunday I post my weekly dinner plan. TWFD friends can then post their menus in the comments section, providing me (and everyone else) with fresh ideas every week! I also post other fun 'foodstuffs' throughout the week.
Bon appetit!

I hope your unpacking goes well. We unpacked our kitchen last when we moved, and I ended up throwing away half of our silverware on accident. Luckily I realized it just a day later, so Corbin and I were able to go through the dumpster looking through every crumpled piece of paper over again! Memories...may yours reflect more patience than mine.

No one but Jane will read this, so I feel comfortable telling you that I've given up control of my kitchen for 4 nights a week. My oldest cooks on 2 nights and the 5 year old cooks 2 nights. Heaven help us and our digestive systems! Our menu:
Monday: scrambled eggs, sausage with carrots and broccoli.
Tuesday: Taco Salad
Wednesday: Veggie burgers, rice and broccoli (the 5 year old likes broccoli)
Thursday: A Surprise. OHMYGOSH!
Friday: I'm having Lasik, so I intend to eat ice cream to recoup. Who knows what the father of my children will feed them.
Saturday: Hummus, pita, Sambusek and quail from a Mid-eastern restaurant.
Sunday: dinner at a friend's.
