A different dinner each day? Day 1

Is it possible to make a different dinner each day for a year?

Hmmm?!?

I have been very good at menu planning lately and we have had a lot of different things, so I thought maybe I would post what we have and if it was thumbs up or not.  And is it kid friendly? (now as a caveat my kids are not to picky with food and so what is kid friendly for my kids may not be for yours).

Tonight we had--

Turkey Mushroom Avocado Benedict

This is a great one for Thanksgiving leftovers!

Recipe found via the California Avocado Commission from the Rosine's Restaurant in Monterey, CA.

I modified it for 6 servings from the 12 the recipe had

It was a thumbs up for us!

And our kids both ate it :)

6 each English muffins, split and toasted
