HAPPY SUMMER! It’s our first week of summer and, if you can’t tell, I’m in vacation mode! 😉 I’ve decided to give myself a mental break this summer. If I get a weekly menu done, fantastic. If I don’t, that’s okay! I have never given myself this kind of space around the weekly menu (I know, maybe might be a little crazy). That said, I know some of you will still be consistently planning, so I do promise to make sure a post is published where everyone can share their menus still. And I will make sure those posts go up on Sundays. Deal?
I really haven’t planned a menu yet for this week and it’s kind of awesome. Owen (my 5 year old) and I found ourselves alone last night, so we went on a date, where we ate burgers and fries and bought lots of ice cream at the grocery store. It was perfection. I do know we’ll have grilled chicken tacos and homemade hamburgers this week, and I’m going to hit up the farmer’s market this afternoon for some inspiration.
Your turn! Share those glorious weekly menus! And have a great week!
Enjoy the summer! I teach, so summer is my most solid meal planning time! I’m happy to be back on track and cooking up summer produce…
Sunday – Cheesburger wraps, watermelon
Monday – Meatballs/sauce (on green beans or spinach…we really just like meatballs)
Tuesday – Baked chicken tacos wraps and guacamole
Wednesday – Balsamic chicken caprese-pesto paninis
Thursday – Dinner out – sushi? – before show
Friday – Salmon pasta salad
Saturday – Probably pizza or takeout, as I pack for our trip
