Big Sur is nothing if not breathtaking.
For those of you wondering how or, more importantly, WHY I am posting a menu from our campsite at Big Sur…I am not. I put my menu together before we left this weekend. Nate and I visited Big Sur and the surrounding area a few years ago, so I had a picture to share. Now that the mystery is solved, menu time!
MONDAY:
- Happy Labor Day! (driving home from the big camping trip)
TUESDAY:
- Paninis
WEDNESDAY:
- Margherita pizza (using none other than the new pizza stone! I am definitely going to put the cheese on after the pizza has been in the oven for a bit)
THURSDAY:
- Beef stroganoff
FRIDAY:
- Leftovers
SATURDAY:
- Eat out
SUNDAY:
- Pot roast (I’m feeling like some comfort food, hopefully it won’t be hot this day!)
- Potatoes, veggie, rolls
Please share your menus! Summer is officially over, folks. It’s time to get back in the groove…so plan some menus and share them with us! I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again…ALL MENUS ARE WELCOME! Simple or fancy, they are all inspiring.
