[quote=Anonymous]I've actually done this, OP. And not just for "this year" but to reset expectations moving forward. The Mac & cheese thing hit a nerve, because it had always been part of our menu since all the kids were little -- but the kids grew up. We don't need Mac & cheese anymore, because they eat everything else. One year, I sent a menu that I was prepared to cook, minus the extraneous dishes that only on or two people seemed to care about. Creamed onions was actually on the no-longer list, in fact, despite the recipe having been in the family forever. No one really actually loved it or missed it. Instead, a few people brought new things they'd been wanting to try, but never did because we always had so many dishes already. It really worked out great. [/quote]
