I love summer.
The light is always just right.
And drinking fountains abound.
Too bad we still have to eat and I still have to plan a menu every week!

- Easy Peasy Bean Tacos
- Guacamole and chips
TUESDAY:
- Crêpes (surprise, surprise…Nate didn’t make these while I was out of town. what? he didn’t jump at a chance to cook?)
WEDNESDAY:
- Stuffed Peppers
THURSDAY:
- Leftovers
FRIDAY:
- Eat out
SATURDAY:
- Homemade pizza (going to top with carmelized onions, tomatoes and honey goat cheese from Trader Joe’s)
SUNDAY:
- Spaghetti Pomodoro
