Mid-Century Menu Monday For March 14 to March 20

I H-A-T-E Daylight Savings time. Actually, the time doesn’t bother me so much — but the groaning and misery from my kids when the time changes do bother me! Fortunately, there are 2 “holidays” this week, so the food makes up for it. Monday, we celebrate Pi Day (because math and education), and of course, Thursday is St. Patrick’s Day. I have included the vintage kids’ lunch menu and the vintage dinner menu for St. Paddy’s, but I also have a vintage luncheon party menu and party plan for the day in my March Housewife’s Planner. So enjoy your festive Spring week!
