Menu planning is great. It is nice to know what to cook, but what do you do when an unexpected thing comes up and changes your plan? Do you run to the nearest pizza or burger joint? I contemplated that today. I remembered an appointment that the kids and I had to go to this afternoon. We did not get home till 6, and dinner was not even started. I thought for a second to pick us some food, but resisted the unwanted cost and calories. What is a good substitute: Breakfast for Dinner. It was quick and easy. It is good to have a plan on what you are going to cook, but life is unexpected. I have a few back-up plans just in case my best laid plans go astray.
Here is my menu for the week reflecting the change I made.

I am getting into a funk. I am to tired from a long day at work, that I do not want to fight Jeshu to eat. What are some quick kid friendly dishes? I am also looking here, for more great ideas. You should check it out!
