Themed dinners?!? - Homemakers Homemaking

Anyone else do theme dinners during the week?!

For example, I'm thinking of making Mondays reserved for Mexican night...starting tonight.

Tuesday can be for Italian

Wednesday can be Asian night

Thursday leftovers

Fridays will be reserved for Pizza. I will make personal sized pizza crusts then the kids, my husband and I can add our own toppings.

Saturday will be for grilling out.

Sunday will be Southern

We don't do theme dinners like that ~ other than Sundays are our "Fend for yourself day" We use to have it Fend for your self Friday but DH's schedule changed.

We plan menus ~ a week at a time. Currently we have our menus planned for several weeks. While we don't have a set day for Mexican, Italian etc ~ there are several weeks that have various cuisines in them.

Sounds yummy. I think it's a great idea!

DF and I do that sometimes. We'll have Indian food night or mediterranean food night. We like it!

That's a cute idea. I think I might try it when he gets home. I did a theme dinner once. He LOVE Obama and I am a stanch republican (obviously we don't see eye to eye). So, for the inauguration, I researched what Obama's favorite foods are. I went and bought all his favorite snacks, drinks and made his favorite at home meal which is Chili, I actually used is recipe for the most part. I like your theme idea though, I want to try that.

Yeah! I plan to include Indian & Greek food into the Asian night. So I should just call it Eurasian night.
