Menu Planning I always try to make dinner a sit down event in my house. I might get a little lazy on Saturday but I really like the connect time with my kids. As my children get older I always have a few rules for dinner:
Dinner Rules:
- No Phones or text
- Respect everyone’s time to speak
- Have a story to share about your day
- You must ask your parents how was their day and listen
- Use your napkins not your pants
- 3 bit rule- you must try everything (one try, taste, and one to decide) Food is not always cooked the same so you still have to try
- Do not feed the dog from the table during dinner (Unless it is pizza crust and Mom is doing it)
- No leaning back in your chair
- Mom (and dad) gets a hug before and after dinner
- You must eat your vegetables (I don’t care if you say you are a carnivore)
- You must have 3 bites of meat (I dot care if you say you are a vegetarian- and you are not you eat Bacon)
- If you cant say anything nice then don’t say anything at all
- No bodily function at the table (teen boy)
- Share and answer the Question “One thing that made you smile today”
- Everyone cleans their plate and puts in dishwasher
- Tell the cook how good the food was and thank her for a great meal
This week is busy my son is on stage crew for the middle school play and we have to get out the door.
