So cool, I've never seen this thread before ! I'd like to give it a try ! I'm cooking for myself, DH, and two boys, ages 4 and 6, who are allergic to dairy and eggs. The food allergies limit our eating out anyway...but I go into crises when I have no idea what to make, so I'm hoping to maybe find some daily inspiration here !
01-breakfast pancakes, lunch sandwiches in the van on the way home from gymnastics, dinner homemade dirty rice
02-breakfast pancakes, lunch weekly Wendy's outing (a reward to 4 yo for participating in a class), and homemade beef stew for dinner.
03-breakfast pancakes, lunch DH homemade burritos made from leftovers (pulled pork, potatoes, beans, dirty rice) dinner TBA, probably natural hot dogs and broccoli for kids and beef stew for DH and I
04-breakfast pancakes, lunch boys had natural hot dogs and apples, I had a scrambled egg and ham burrito, DH had leftover stew. Dinner DH is making chili.
05-Breakfast pancakes, lunch sandwiches, dinner kids had Wendy's during hour long drive home from field trip, DH and I had chili.
06-Breakfast boys had pancakes, I had toast. Lunch boys had sandwiches, I had last of stew. Dinner boys had natural hot dogs and broccoli, DH and I had chili.
