We have a pasta dish weekly(that's probably my biggest standard since we all just love pasta)and we almost always have a mexican night.
What do wish you could most change up on your menu?

I'm always looking for new side dishes or a new twist to put on some of the ~usual~things we have.


Do you plan desserts also?

I do ,for the most part...even if I don't plan something specific for a certain day~I try to at least make 1-2 things on the weekend to carry us through the week so that there's something readily available



Do you let dh or the kids help decide what you'll be having that week?

ABSOLUTELY!! Dh is actually especially good at this...cause he can usually rack his brain and come up with something great that I haven't made in ages.
And then later his ooo-ing and ahhh-ing always makes me feel good.

And,surprisingly,dd will come up with some good stuff sometimes~although she does tend to lean stiffly towards pierogis

Something made with ground beef, pork or chicken. I always have one meal to do in the crockpot and we also have a pasta dish every week.

What do wish you could most change up on your menu?
Side dishes, I am good at trying different main dishes.

Do you plan desserts also?
I try to do at least 2 a week.

Do you let dh or the kids help decide what you'll be having that week?
Yes, they like to pick at least one meal and if they don't say anything I make one of their favorites.

I usually do one night a pasta dish, we usually have chicken burgers once a week, maybe mexican once a week...

What do wish you could most change up on your menu?
sticking to it...

Do you plan desserts also?
No- if its there I eat it

Do you let dh or the kids help decide what you'll be having that week?
My husband- we usually make the menu together..or I make it and leave a few blanks for him to fill in before I shop

Pasta or casserole type dish. Defiantely something with hamburger

What do wish you could most change up on your menu?
Sidedishes, I tend to do the same ones all the time. And of course new recipes for main meals is always good too.

Do you plan desserts also?
Sometimes. I like there to be something for everyone to munch on during the week. Sweets are my weakness too.

Do you let dh or the kids help decide what you'll be having that week?
Dh does come up with good ideas. But he also tries to say let's just go grab a bite to eat when I ask him what he wants for dinner. I have to try and be tough on those nights and find something to cook. Kids always have simple meals that they want. They are happy with mac and cheese, some hot dogs and a can of peas.

hamburger helper, chili dogs, sloppy joes, spaghetti -- seems like I always fix those.



What do wish you could most change up on your menu?
side dishes, usually it's just a can of veggies, I would really like to branch out



Do you plan desserts also?

no but there's always something around


Do you let dh or the kids help decide what you'll be having that week?

not much. If I ask dh he comes up with something I don't have the ingredients for or takes most of the day to fix when it's about an hour before dinner.

What are the ~usuals~ on you menu?
(...ya know the things you tend to make pretty regularly)

For a two week spread we will always have spaghetti, cheeseburgers, tacos and pizza.

What do wish you could most change up on your menu?

I wish we would eat more vegetarian meals, but dh doesn't go for that too often

Do you plan desserts also?

only when it's a birthday

Do you let dh or the kids help decide what you'll be having that week?

I always ask dh if he wants anything special, but he rarely has ideas. If I asked the boys they would want pizza every day, lol.

We do homemade pizza on Friday nights and usually something time consuming and "nicer" on Sundays. We have a half of a beef, so we do a lt of beef dishes.

What do wish you could most change up on your menu?
I'm with a lot of you. My side dishes are kind of boring. Usually we have salad or steamed veggies. Good for us, yes. Exciting, no.

Do you plan desserts also?
During the summer our desserts have been fruit smoothies or shakes, depending on what's in season. On Sundays I always make a bigger dessert that will ast a couple of days.

Do you let dh or the kids help decide what you'll be having that week?
When dh sees I'm planning the next week's menu, he'll put in requests. He loves "guy" food, i.e. sloppy joes, bacon anything, etc...
