snickerplum Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Help! I'm making my grocery list (favorite pastime, btw...) for this next week while my inlaws are visiting. I have NO idea what to plan on for lunch. My kids eat the same thing every week - grilled cheese Mondays, quesadilla Tuesday, etc., not the same thing every day. :) I'm losing weight (yea!) and I eat differently than they do. My husband DOES eat the same thing everyday :) so I can easily plan on his items. Plus, I have two children with different food allergies, one who is only gluten free and one who is just plain picky. :) Put all that together and the result is me. At a loss. My inlaws aren't hard to please or anything, It's just what I typically make for the children might not sound as super to an adult. So I'm ready for ideas - recipes or restaurants... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 My m&d are picky--so what I'd suggest is stuff I wouldn't serve them. How about a nice salad with some grilled chicken on it? Spring greens (a lovely mix), a handful of dried crans, some pine nuts, and if they like it, some bleu or gorgonzola cheese, maybe some red grapes...with a balsamic dressing. Or more of a veggie salad--lettuce/cukes/a little pepper/some grape toms... A good soup with bread? Homemade bread or warm baguette... A nice toasted/grilled ham or turkey and cheese on a good bread, with a side of slaw or a mixed fruit salad... Good burgers with sweet potato fries and slaw...or salad. Now I'm hungry.

Annie G Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 When my inlaws visit, I make my life as easy as possible. For lunch every day we have soup and sandwiches. Grilled or not, they're quick to fix, and some choose to have soup while others don't. It's just easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Geek Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I was thinking soup and sandwiches too. You could have extra fruit, raw veggies and dip in the house too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
