Mom's Diner

One popular breakfast around here is Eggs to Order.  In the past I've just asked each person what they wanted and kept a list, but lately that's felt a bit boring.  Knowing I was going to make eggs to order for breakfast this week, I decided to make a restaurant style menu.

In Word I created a document that has check-boxes for various kinds of eggs (sunny side, over easy, omelet, etc...) and side dishes, as well as beverages.  Last night after dinner I handed them out and asked Bryant and the kids to fill them in, then I used them this morning as I was making breakfast.

It was so much fun!  I'm thinking that I will ask for opinions tonight and adjust the menu as suggested.  After a couple uses, once I've got it down just the way we want it, I'll print clean ones and laminate them.  Then we can use them over and over again with dry-erase markers!
