I am trying to fix a weekly menu to help put a little order in my family's life but I am having trouble finding menu ideas. We are all picky eaters but I get tired of fixing the same things over and over. If anyone could tell me where I can find some simple dinner ideas I would really appreciate it.

Here is a suggestion, since your family is picky.
Make a list of what they do eat and then write to the companies who make these foods if they are off the grocery shelf and ask them for ideas how to use them in a different way.
If you cook from scratch, take that same list and then go to the search engine like yahoo or google and type in one of the "picky eater's favorites" lol.....you will get many sites to go to for ideas using that food item.
Lists really help
On Wednesday we get the grocery store ads and that is what I use to help design my weeks menu. That way I get the best prices and save money. We eat whatever is on sale each week and it feels good to save this way.
If you have a plan you are less stressed and save money at the same time.
Good for you it's a great way to start the new year!
Best of luck,

I don't have any specific recipies for you but there is a website called www.allrecipies.com. It is a great site, there are thousands of recipies for all types of cooking. My favorite part is you can change the number of servings and it'll accomodate the recipe. There are also many different menu's to search through. Hope that helps. Good Luck!!

Go to a major grocery store. Buy a large meat, cheese, breads, vegetables, and condiments tray. About $50 worth. No man I know would not like that. It also means you can concentrate on your guests instead of being stuck in the kitchen.

i'd suggest making little individual pizzas that way everyone can pick what they want.
