“What’s for supper?”. If you have kids, you hear this question at least a half a dozen times between when school lets out and the meal hits the table.
To alleviate this little annoyance, create a hanging weekly menu. Use a simple plastic page protector, the kind that goes in a three ring binder. Print off a weekly supper menu on your home computer, or write it out by hand. If you have little kids, you can use pictures instead of words.
Use a horizontal 8.5″ by 11″ format rather than a vertical. You can get as creative as you want or keep it simple. One idea is to put a dessert item on the menu for each day (if you aren’t a dessert free household) but place a sticker (possibly a food sticker, maybe scratch and sniff) over the dessert but on the outside of the sleeve protector. The kids only get to reveal the dessert if they’ve been good at supper and ate enough “real food”.
Use ribbon looped through two of the three holes to create a “sign”. Hang it in clear view and never answer the question “What’s for supper?” again.
