Hi friends! I am SO glad I didn’t plan a menu last week…so many times this past week at around 4:00 my kids were in the middle or pure summer “funness” and I couldn’t bear to tear them away to go make dinner. We had quite a few lame-o dinners, but it was totally worth it!
This week I am planning a menu, mostly because I need a little guidance on my grocery shopping. I’m pretty certain we won’t be sticking to this completely, but at least we’ll have options and actual food in the house!
MONDAY:
– Grilled Chicken Fajitas
TUESDAY:
– Fourth of July BBQ! Hamburgers, hot dogs and the like!
– I’m not entirely sure what our sides will be, but I think I’m going to make these Crispy Rosemary Potatoes per my little Anna’s request!
WEDNESDAY:
– Homemade Pizza (Honey Goat Cheese and Sausage Ricotta using this no-cook pizza sauce and crust recipe)
THURSDAY:
– Braised Chicken with Rice and Veggies
FRIDAY:
– Leftovers
SATURDAY:
– Eat out night
SUNDAY:
– Pat’s Asian Chicken Salad
