A few years ago I read in a parenting magazine about a mom who made a menu at the end of the week listing all the leftovers that her family had to choose from for their Friday night meal. I thought this was such a fun idea! Of course it’s taken me until now to implement the idea and I’m sharing it with you. I created this fun Daily Specials Menu for you to print out and fill in whenever you’re serving leftovers for dinner. It’s almost like recreating an all new meal when you present it in a fun way! Since we have leftovers nearly every Thursday, Friday and/or Saturday night, it will certainly come in handy too!
My kids love to play “restaurant”. How fun would this be for them to be a part of the meal preparation when they can fill it out and help heat it all up. They can even set the table in a special way to make it something to look forward to each week. So print out this menu (and laminate it if you want to reuse it each week with a dry erase marker) and let me know what your family thinks of your reinvention of your leftovers and your family’s new restaurant!
