Kids Eat Free

"What's for dinner?"

For as long as I can remember, it's been a favorite question of mine. I ask Riley every day. If my mom calls, I question her about the day's menu. My friend's parents even used to get annoyed with me because I would ask. Weird, I know, but I love food. Well, now my children have picked up on my habit and ask me early in the day what we're having for dinner. At least one of the three has a loud, dramatic response. Something like "Ugh, I don't want ............ ! It doesn't matter what I've planned, at least one of them won't like it. Secretly, I think what they're waiting for me to say is "We're going out to dinner." With three children, going out to eat can get pretty expensive so we don't do it often. But now, I've come across a great concept. The "KIDS EAT FREE" plan. Many restaurants in the Peoria area have weekly specials for kids to eat free or at very discounted prices. I've done a little research and here's the list. Bon Appetit!
