I've just been doing my menu a week in advance and writing it in the journal by the cubbies. I think I'd get bored of a fixed menu, but it does help me to have something planned out ahead of time, even if it's just a week at a time. This way, I find I can keep lots of variety and also leave more flexibility to utilize great specials.
My kids are in the same age group as yours. We eat mainly vegetarian with a little fish here and there. Some of the things I serve that go over well are:
- Quinoa muffins, cheese, yogourt, fruit
- mushroom quinoa, tomato/cucumber/feta salad
- beetroot risotto (dead easy to make), baked egg, veg
- Swedish pancakes with berries and yogourt (swedish pancakes similar to crepes, with lots of egg and milk-good protein)
- fish with garlic, lemon & butter, lemon rice, veg
- Impossible quiche, veg, potato
- veggie omelet, toast
- cauliflower/blue cheese/quinoa soup with toast (super easy and really good)
- Saag Paneer, rice. I was shocked when they ALL scarfed this one down!
- Butter 'chicken', rice, veg (used paneer instead of chicken)
- brown beans, toast, diced tomatoes
Those are the most popular ones with my kidlets. Most of them are good because you can make up ahead of time. The Impossible Quiche is a big one as it only takes a few minutes to make and can freeze quite well. The soup freezes quite well too.
