I need some help!I've started thinking meal planning might be my best option to stay on track with my diet and to be sure my family is eating the best possible meals when we are together! I also thought it would help out with the availability of left overs for work lunches. Now, to find out how I should accomplish this task.<br />
<br />
I really want to find a computer program that tracks nutritional values as well as the meal plans. Does anyone out there have an suggestions. Google is a great option but, I haven't found what I am looking for yet! And, when I do, it's a monthly charge. I don't have the money to pay for one so, I continue to look!<br />
<br />
Does anyone else family meal plan?<br />

These must be made!!! <br />
How adorable (eh hem), I mean "scary"!<br />
<br />
MUMMY Pizzas<br />
<br />
<div>
Ingredients:</div>
<div>
• 3/4 pound thinly sliced mozzarella cheese<br />
• 1 loaf Italian bread<br />
• 1 cup pizza sauce<br />
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Directions:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Preheat broiler. Line 2 cookie sheets with aluminum foil; set aside.</li>
<li>Cut the sliced cheese into 3/4-inch tapered strips.</li>
<li>Slice off the rounded ends of the bread. Cut the bread in half lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 4 pieces. Place the bread, cut side up, on the prepared cookie sheets. Toast the bread slices slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.</li>
<li>Spread some of the pizza sauce on top of the toasted bread to cover. Arrange the cheese slices, overlapping slightly, on top of the sauce to look like the bandages. Add 2 olive slices for the eyes. Place another slice of cheese over the olives to cover slightly.</li>
<li>Working with one pan at a time, broil the pizzas until the cheese is slightly melted, 1 to 2 minutes longer. (Makes 8 pizzas)</li>
</ol>

Please, let me know what you think. I was thinking of making finger food sized stars with PB&J. I came up with an adorable idea and way to display them. <br />
<br />
I need to know if it sounds like a good idea. I mean, they are preschoolers. What is better for a preschooler than PB&J? My idea? I plan on making two sets of PB&J sandwiches. One set with strawberry, one set with grape. Then, I plan to display them inside of a cardboard handmade graduation cap. One in pink and one in blue (the school colors LOL).<br />
<br />
I think it sounds like a cute idea. My husband, not so much. He thinks it is stupid because the graduation is scheduled for just before supper. His theory is, "no one is going to stay and eat PB&J when it is scheduled to finish around supper time." My defense, "although it finishes around supper time, most people will stay and feed there kids at the party." At the Christmas play, parents stayed pretty late. The play finished around supper. I think since it on Thursday, people will stay. Sometimes I think, he thinks everyone does what we would do in every situation when in fact, most people do the opposite!Mummahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08395244950121908932noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791606635636296013.post-82062560332848574162011-06-13T00:22:00.000-07:002011-06-13T00:23:09.455-07:00Crab Rangoon Yum!28 wonton wrappers<br />

Addy-B absolutely loved mixing the flour around the bowl and X-man enjoyed trying to kneed it. We spent about an hour preparing the ingredients. Tomorrow, it's off to the grocery store for the rest of the items we need. Then, on to stuffing them and "cripping" them closed. Most likely, we will have them for lunch!<br />

I never realized how much fun it is to "cook" with kids! I plan to try cooking something from scratch with them at least once a week. I'm already looking for a recipe for Friday. Hope you enjoy the photos of the kids cooking!<br />

<ul><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">Combine the flour and salt in a bowl. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">In a separate bowl, beat the egg, water and oil together </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">Stir the liquid mixture into the powder mixture. The dough should be soft but not sticky. It should hold together in ball. If it needs more water, add 1 tbsp water at a time, being careful not to make dough sticky. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">Place dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth (approx 10 times).</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">Cut the dough in half; place each in a metal bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth. Let the dough set for at least 20 minutes.</span></li>
