Thanks for this...I agree it's great to get the kids in the kitchen.  I used to have my children take turns planning menus - and as they learned more about cooking, they also would plan the menu and cook one dinner each week.  It was great.  Now they are out on their own and cook regularly for themselves, roommates and friend.

Having our kids plan menus & cook is an awesome idea to get them involved. My mom keeps telling my 2 teen boys that a woman likes a man who cooks! Now that my oldest is driving, I'm having him drive his brother to the store to do the shopping for the meals they planned, too!

My girls help almost every day in the kitchen. Some times it is simply packing lunches from foods I have helped prep but other times they get to play a major role. They are both too young to read so I do most of the menu planning. That said, I do take them with me to the store and they get to help shop. On occasion I have had them look at pictures in cookbooks and make selections.
