Hello! It’s time to get down to business and plan this week’s dinners! It was HOT here last week, so I ended up not cooking as much as I planned and we had leftover tacos I think three times! And we roasted hot dogs on the beach last night. It was pretty much perfect. This week is supposed to be cooler, so back to the kitchen I go!

Seriously – what was with the California heat this week??? It made me grumpy. Fine for July and August – NOT April/May. 🙁
Tonight we had Sloppy Joe’s
Monday = Kids want bbq hot dogs
Tuesday = Something easy since my husband is taking my soon-to-be 4 year old to Lego Land and it will just be me and the older 2.
Wednesday = School fundraiser night at Chipotle – thank you Lord for having a fundraiser at Chipotle. I can definitely support that!
Thursday = Chicken burritos made in the crockpot or else something meatless, not sure yet.
Friday = My 3 year old turns 4 today – so we will eat whatever he wants for birthday dinner.
Saturday = most likely have to eat out again since we have a million things going on that day.
Sunday = my parents are in town! Can’t wait to celebrate Mother’s Day with the perfect mom for me! 🙂
You are funny complaining about the heat… I wish it were warmer in Ohio. We still have two weeks to go before our “last frost date”.
Oh, and where are your tacos/enchiladas/quesadillas for Cinco de Mayo!?
tacos for Cinco de Mayo
yakisoba
breakfast for dinner
game night sliders and snacks
mac and cheese
once summer rolls around I won’t be able to put a candle to your heat, I’m sure! 🙂
I totally spaced in on cinco de mayo…but also, we kind of had taco overload the week before, I might have had a rebellion! 😉
Those of us in the Midwest don’t have much sympathy for your California heat! It’s still miserable here.
