We have started something new here for supper. Whichever kid has to do the dishes that night, gets to decide what we have for supper! (within reason of course) So far they have planned pretty healthy meals. I still get to decide on weekends. We have to have the ingredients on hand. It was kind of funny because Brady was listing his for next Tuesday, and he wanted turkey and mashed potatoes, and Megan gently reminds him that "you need to pick a vegetable"!! So it is Megan's turn tonight and she has chosen: Homemade Pizza, salad, and chocolate milkshakes. I will make the milkshakes with low-fat milk, yogurt and some of my homemade chocolate syrup. I am going to mix the pizza crust early this morning, then when I get home later it will be ready. I like to mix some Italian herbs in with the crust, makes it taste great.

I let my kids decide on dinner, too. The little kid asked for beans and cornbread and they were ALL excited about it
