The credit for these awesome ideas does not belong to me; I wish I had that level of creativity and thoughtfulness! But yeah, those themes certainly look like fun and a great bonding experience for the family, especially with young children. My hubby isn't that creative but fortunately, there are some fantastic websites that give us lesser creative people some awesome step-by-step ideas and recipes to follow!
Thanks! I'm glad my family enjoys my creative endeavors. It's a pleasure to see my daughter develop her young palate and expose her to different cultures via food. Planning our themed meals has become a little family tradition that we all look forward to. The excitement grows as we plan, prepare and decorate for each meal.
That 'Mexican Fiesta' sounds como fruco ! I love the idea of getting the kids to help prepare the food, especially the DIY tacos and salsa bar. It's a great way to make the evening interactive and engaging for them. Sounds like a tasty and memorable night!

Oh yum, Greek night sounds like a fantastic idea! The children will certainly enjoy the food preparation and those delicious Mediterranean flavours. And a mini Olympic event will be fun too - like a family sports day!
Some of these themed dinner ideas look so good! I think it would be fun to try a "rainforest" or "underwater" theme, with vibrant colors and funky shapes. My kids will definitely enjoy the decorated tablescaping too; they love anything that looks fancy and insta-worthy, heh.It's okay not to be overly creative; after all, these websites are there for a reason!

It sure does! Especially when she pronounces something as 'super delicious' and asks for more. It's encouraging and motivates me to keep exposing her palate to new tastes and textures. I enjoy watching her eat happily and cleaning her plate. It's a reward in itself.
