Family Weekly Menus....and children

A note about children: I feed these weekly menu dishes to my family of four unless it is an extra spicy dish. When our little ones despise a dish , I always offer up a few other things that are nutritious and accepted by the little people:) A few timeless items include: applesauce with surprises at the bottom (raisins), veggie nuggets, cucumbers dipped in the adored Annie's Goddess Dressing, and sometimes a PB& B (banana) sandwich.

If you would like a recipe for any of the dishes on my weekly menus, let me know. The enchilada recipe (a staple in our home) will be up soon :)

Ciao and chow!
