This past week my daughter was learning about Mexico, and I thought it was too bad that I hadn't known about it so I could offer to make nachos or something for the class. It didn't occur to me to just prepare an extra "lesson" at home. I will remember that and do so for the next country she brings home- even better if we do so together of course.

Perhaps a weekly or bi-weekly dinner that is chosen by her, planned, shopped for and prepared together would be the thing to do. I especially like the thought of leafing through the cookbooks or magazines for mutual inspiration. Another thought I had was to incorporate any school lessons into the menu, as in Spannish food when studying the explorers from that country, etc. I applaud your idea and you have inspired me to get my daughter more involved in the menu planning.

Make the BEST chicken nuggets and pizza and what have you and get them used to it.. then when they go to McD, they will likely find the cardboard reconstituted nuggets there vile and chose not to have them again! Its gotta be worth the effort. Its not enough to mimic the nuggets but to surpass them in some obvious way so that McD can not compare in the future! Its also your chance to be subversive!
