Meal Plan for the Week of July 7, 2018

We’re having a heat wave, and it’s not letting up this week, so quick and easy is the theme. We have friends with young kids coming over to barbecue on Sunday and we’re sticking to pretty basic BBQ food–hamburgers, hot dogs, and potato salad, and a quick, easy and delicious no-bake dessert so we get treats without the heat in the kitchen.  I have a busy day on Tuesday with back-to-back client meetings, and the a Wine Social at night–luck me!–so its pizza for the boys.  They have opted for Naan Pizza rather than take out.

Meal Plan for the Week of June 9, 2018

We are still loving the grill, and the weather is supporting this love affair. We’re running the gamut of proteins this week: chicken, fish, beef, and pork (and beans!).   We had to make some adjustments to last week’s plan because life just got in the way, so the Thai Beef with Spicy Green Beans is on repeat because we never actually got to make it.  Monday is Corn on the Cob Day, so we will be having grilled corn with our fish tacos, because who are we to let a “holiday” go by unacknowledged?

Classic Potato Salad

During the summer we love a good potato salad with grilled food.  Well, to be honest, we have it with burgers in the winter, too.  I like having some different textures in my potato salad, and the diced celery pieces add a nice burst of freshness and crunch, but otherwise I keep it pretty simple.  Check out the Tips section for ways to switch it up, depending on what you’re eating with it.

Meal Plan for the Week of May 19, 2018

Happy Victoria Day Weekend!  It’s the unofficial start of summer, and we are already well into BBQ season.  Love the new grill–we didn’t realize how tired the old one was until we got this new one.  It’s my birthday on the holiday Monday, so dinner is my choice (really, though, it always is), and I’m out a couple of nights this week, so the boys are filling up on the lactose-filled cheese dishes: Mac ‘n Cheese and, of course, pizza.  They can never get too much pizza.  The best thing about my birthday dinner, though, is that I don’t have to cook it!  I love to cook, but sometimes you just need a break, amiright?

Meal Plan for the Week of May 5, 2018

Sorry this Plan is a little late this week.  They was a delay in getting my grocery flyers, and then I had needed to figure out whether or not I would have a grill to use this week.  Our old grill died a graceful death (not really, the bottom fell out of it!) after a moderately long but extremely productive life.  Since I make it a rule not to turn use the oven from, roughly, the May long weekend until about October, it is getting pretty critical for meal planning.  And with gorgeous weather in the forecast for the coming week, grilling is definitely in the Plan.  BBQ Achieved!
