Menu Planner $120

I always thought that professional menu planners had a relatively easy job, you take the whims of a chef at a fancy restaurant and you organize them in to a beautiful and pleasing menu.

The problem I suppose arrises when you're both chef and menu planner, then you have to decide what to make AND what order to put it in that will please your customers.

Bellerina is my only customer right now, but trying to plan ahead for 3 days with a variety of healthy and pleasing options can seem like rocket science.

Saturday night was her first overnight with Grampy, and then Sunday, Monday and Tuesday down the Cape. So Saturday afternoon I was baking broccoli cheddar cakes (totally yummy for little ones and adults alike!), putting together enough fresh fruit (pears, bananas etc) and making sure I packed adequate amounts of whole milk and peanut butter.

I think I had success, Grampy didn't get anything spit back out at him, and she managed to eat all her fruits and veggies down the Cape!
