Weekly Menu

I'm going to try and do these menus differently. As my kids get older I realize how important the menu really is. Did you know that kids of different ages require more calories than others? So according to Ellie Krieger from the Food Network, in her book Small Changes, Big Results. I'm going to stick with what she allots for each food group according to the amount of calories my kids and I need. So to the best of my ability and sanity I will try to keep this up. I will also try to keep the rainbow of colors in everyday.
