Alphabet January

A little creativity makes building a monthly menu a lot easier, and gives the kids an incentive to eat whatever is put in front of them. So, for this month, we're going to eat a letter each day. New Years Day was pretty basic, since I had no motivation to do much of anything: Apple Pie Jam toast. Today, it's Breakfast Lunch: bacon and cheese omelets. I'm only planning out one meal for each of the days, since we'll have plenty of leftovers for lunches. Do you have any better suggestions, especially for the difficult V, U, and X days? If so, please share them!
