What Do We Really Eat?


I am questioned fairly often about what a larger family eats for dinner each day. Mostly what we're eating is what I've posted either here, at A Thousand Soups, at Disney's Family.com or even at Half Hour Meals.

This week, however, I'm going to share what we're eating each day. This will be the good, the bad and the ugly - I'm sure. There is no way to have a family this size without having a snag here and there and I'm planning on sharing what our schedule is and what other extenuating circumstances, if any, there are each day.

So, are you ready? This evening for dinner I've done the very bad: Pancake Breakfast Sandwiches. I went uber easy with prepared and frozen pancakes and sausage, deli American cheese and fresh eggs.

My preference would be to make the pancakes myself from homemade and sausage myself as well, but feeling as I have been, and having wiped myself out yesterday going to the kids' first parade of the year, I'm doing simple and not-so-good-for-you.

Line up!

I don't have a real recipe for these - but it's very simple, cook one egg and one sausage patty (or a strip of bacon if you prefer) for each sandwich and layer together with a slice of cheese between two small pancakes. Serve up with hashbrowns or potato pancakes and orange juice. Easy even for 9 people, just get an assembly line going and you'll be done in no time.

What's Everyone Eating This Week?

I need to go food shopping, which means I need to make a list, which means I need to have a menu planned and...shocking, I know...I don't have one yet.

It's already disgustingly humid here and I'm not up for facing the heat of the kitchen. So, this week will be lots of
salads and sandwiches and our favorite lemonade and possibly something on the grill...like veggies. Of course, Sunday is Mother's Day and I wanted to do something special, even if I am cooking it myself.

So, what's everyone else eating? Hurry up and inspire me before I head off to the store!
