Menu Monday

Goodness, I owe you all an apology for being so negligent of the blog! Let's get back at it, shall we? A Menu Monday is an easy one. Here you go:

Monday: Grilled cheese sandwiches; cucumber slices
This was a hit. Are we surprised?

Tuesday: Apricot-almond rice pilaf; tandoori chicken
To my surprise, the pilaf, despite the apricot bits and the nice, sweet coconut milk, was roundly rejected.


(I don't normally put pictures in Menu Monday, but these pictures were too good not to use!)

Wednesday: Rosemary apple relish on rice; lentil-beet salad
Lentil-beet salad is a tried and true favourite; the apple relish, on the other hand, was not a favourite. I think the apple cider vinegar made it too tart for their taste.


No, your children were not involved in a massacre, nor did they catch and eat their own critters for vittles. It's just Wednesday's salad! Beets, nommmmmm...

Thursday: Black bean and corn chili with biscuits
Two thumbs up (Nora and Addie), two neutral (Eliana and Dominic), one thumbs down (Milan).

Friday: Beef stew, veggies and dip, (black bean chili on the side for Ella)
We went off-menu today and had peanut butter and banana sandwiches (on English muffins). Not surprisingly, they all looooooved it. :)
