Do you ever play restaurant with your kids? It's a fantastic way to enjoy an evening together and gently guide their experiences about food, service, and community. I wrote about our most recent restaurant at home on Ohio Moms Blog. This week's menu:

Monday - macaroni and cheese, spinach salad

Tuesday - roasted chicken, baked kale, baked potatoes

Wednesday - (real) restaurant dinner with family (I'm voting for Lavash or Aladdin's)

Thursday - overnight stay at the Inn at Cedar Falls, sandwiches on the way there for dinner

Friday - breakfast and lunch from the Inn, frozen ravioli for quick after-drive-home meal

Saturday - buffalo burgers, fruit, quinoa and feta salad

Sunday - family dinner
