October '07 Dinner Calendar

A chronological listing of what I made for dinner for the kids (and sometimes me) each night in the month of October 2007. When Joe eats dinner at home it's usually chicken breasts or salmon fillets. I sometimes have a little of whatever the kids are having, other times I'll have some of my green juice or leftovers from the previous night. In October Thomas was still living with us so he joined us for dinner most nights and he ate what the little kids ate.
