We've had some nasty arguments in our house this week over food. They usually begin with one of the children asking what is for dinner. Upon hearing the answer, there are complaints voiced. Now every week as I plan the menu, I ask for suggestions. I am open-minded, or at least I used to be. I've now decided that unless the children specifically ask for a dish, I'm preparing what I like. Pooh on the rest of them. If they are going to complain anyway, I might as well enjoy my own cooking, right?Saturday

I do the same thing---ask for suggestions---but I usually end up cooking for myself and dh since we're reasonable people. And he's the one providing the $$ for the food!
Hi!
I stumbled across your blog via catholic cuisine ;o) I noticed your 5min bread comment, and thought I'd chime in! I've been making the 100% whole wheat recipe (from the 1st book) every week for the past few months and I LOVE it! I use naturally white whole wheat, so it's not as heavy and thick as regular whole wheat but with all the added healthy goodness. My friend and blogger superwoman, Katie @ Kitchenstewardship.com came over a few months ago to learn about 5min bread. You can read her post about it here http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2010/02/24/whole-wheat-artisan-bread-in-5-minutes-a-day-reviewand-soaked/#comments
Thanks for the weekly menu! I'm going to try some of these recipes!

I only wish my mom cooked this way when I was growing up. I am glad to see good food is not out of style.
