I think menu planning and grocery shopping with her is a great idea! In my experience any kid will go grocery shopping with you if they know the will be getting stuff they like. Get a couple "treats" as well. Pop Tarts, Rice Crispy Treats... you know, empty calories.
Besides shopping, ask her what she wants to do. Play games (Connect Four and Mancala are big ones at this age), maybe get a new game. Rent a movie (some of the best conversations I have had is discussing movies) I also talk about books, but that's because my favorite books are for that age.
Brandy, I am here today, if you want to call.

Oh, and by the way, IT'S ONLY EIGHT DAYS NOW!!
I have two neices that are 11. One is very moody and is racing to be a teenager so I can never figure her out! haha. The other one loves to bake brownies with my mom. My mom taught her a family recipe that is now their special thing to do together. Baking/cooking together with a child is a great way to share in doing something, share in enjoying it (mmm!) and pass something along.
