So, a friend of mine has asked me if I would help her out with grocery shopping and menu planning on a weekly basis. I told her I would give it a try. I decided to create a blog as a format in which to publish this information because it's quite possible it will be of interest to more than just her.
I also thought..."Gee, there are an awful lot of people out there with picky eating kids doing this same type of menu planning themselves every week! Maybe I can get people to email me their recipe plans and grocery lists and I can publish them." Hmmmmm....just a thought. But, let's see if it works!
The rules for the Weekly Eater challenge are:
1) Send in a menu plan for five days - I figure Sunday-Thursday need a solid plan, and you don't want to over buy and waste items
2) Send in a corresponding grocery list covering all items needed for the weekly plan
3) When possible, have picky eater alternates. For example: if it's fish with a pasta side, can the kids have just the pasta?
I will then take all submissions and post them with an appropriate title. If I get too many submissions, I will pick the top ten to post each week. This will then become a reference for families everywhere! Let's have fun with it!

I know there are tons of super-organized folks around the world, but many more who are not so organized. My hunch is it may be a bit overwhelming to start on an assignment like the one above for a 5-day recipe and grocery plan. What if you ask people to submit one recipe and grocery list and you can compile into weekly plans? Just an idea :)
