I don't have to cook next weekend as we'll be off visiting family. The hardest part of my menu planning at the moment is catering for a toddler. He eats so well during the day, lots of fruit, yoghurt and cheese, wholemeal bread, but at evening he refuses dinner almost every night. I am not too worried, but I try to make sure there is one thing on the plate each night that he will eat. Even if he only eats grated carrot on some nights. All the kids went through this phase, and came out the other side. I just have to hope it doesn't last long. Don't forget to take a look at the other delicious menus at Organizing Junkie's blog
Other breaking news in our house this week: Our first lovebird egg hatched! Later on today, when I've bought new batteries for my camera, I'll try and take a picture. It's so tiny, the size of a baby's little finger!
Also: Joshua is on day two of toilet training in earnest. We have tried off and on for months, but he's been holding on tight to his infancy. Weaning took forever, he's been very insistant that he still needs his nappies, and let's not even discuss the empty bed in The Boys' Room. But yesterday he went the whole day with only one accident while playing outside, and even woke dry from his nap. Today I had to coax him back into his underwear, but the lure of a dinosaur print proved irresistable. I was thrilled when, this morning, he spontaneously hopped up and went to the toilet by himself. I am so proud!

Spaghetti with roasted pumpkin, pesto and fetta sounds WONDERFUL!!! Do you just roast the pumpkin in the oven and mash it?
Yay Joshua!!!
Yum.
And yay for Joshua (a name very close to my heart! ;-)
My three year old son is the same way. During the day he eats well. Yogurt is a particular favorite. But from when he awakens from naptime, until bedtime, he refuses food. He may eat a cracker, or take a sip of milk, but that's it. I know that he is healthy, but it is quite stressful. Plus, he isn't getting acclimated to new tastes through the dinners I fix. It's an ongoing battle.
These look just delicious Emma. what a good Mummy you are!
Margaret: I just dice the pumpkin, roast it and stir it into the cooked spaghetti.
