Something of Interest
/
The other night, I was unable to sleep. I had finished the last of the stack of library books that sit on the night table beside my bed. I was laying there wide awake, when I realized that I had my1946 edition of Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book under the bed.
I know... Strange place for it. I put there until I could get some of the round ring stickers for the pages that were torn. Any way, I pulled the book out and began to read. Of all the cookbooks that I have, I have never actually read any of the "information" in the books.
I found some really neat things other than some new recipes that I am planning on trying in the near future. Those of you who make a weekly, bi-weekly or even monthly meal menu for your family, you'll enjoy this...
When I read this, I thought how neat! Wives and Mothers way back then were into menu planning for their families. I know that we've seen old t.v. shows and movies that talked about "Meatloaf Monday." Many of the wives that created a menu plan stuck with it for everyday of the week. This was a good way for the family to know what is for dinner each day of the week. And I'm sure it also kept down the hassle of knowing what to buy at the grocery store.
To many, menu planning is a new thing; when actually it is something that has been going on for years. How neat is that!

MEAL - PLANNING IS A GAME that's fun if you play it with imagination and zest. If you play it well, you will win satisfaction for yourself and cheers of enthusiasm from your family. It's important to plan well-balanced means, but it's equally important to make those meals appetizing and attractive, with plenty of variety.
