Kid Friendly Gourmet

After deciding that the crème brulee trio would be centerpiece of the Valentine’s dinner menu, I decided to keep the French theme when looking for ideas for the other dishes. The challenge would be that most of the items would need to be Atticus-friendly. He loves chicken, bread, cheese, and fruit like most kids, so those ingredients plus great flavor would be a real pleaser. I also received some good suggestions from friends and found good resources that I’ll use anytime I need to plan a dinner. {Click dish name for recipe links.} Here’s how my menu is shaping up. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
