May is one of my favorite months. Spring weather, sporting events, later days, eating outside, and grilling are a few things I love. This week is filled with fun activities...girls F.I.T. training, soccer, elementary school art show, and in-laws visiting for one night. Planning ahead so I do not have to work so hard each night cooking, and making extras on some nights to use later in the week! Just bought some of my herb plants to put on my deck so I will be using them for many of my meals now. Very excited!
Here's a glance at this week's menu. Please contact me for any recipe, and I am happy to send them along.
Monday: Grilled chicken and vegetable ka-bobs over Israeli Couscous. Grilling some extra chicken to use on Wednesday night. Marinade is lemon infused olive oil and salt and pepper. Veggies-red onion, green and yellow squash, & cherry tomatoes.
Tuesday: Grilled skirt steak and stir fry veggies-broccoli, snow peas, onion and carrots. Fresh oregano added.
Wednesday: Grilled chicken and pesto pasta with a mixed green salad. Using my basil!
Thursday: grass fed beef burgers and sweet potato fries with cucumber salad (made with Greek non-fat yogurt and fresh dill).
Friday: Picnic dinner! Making this an easy night for me. Platter filled with cheese and crackers, veggies, cut up pita bread and hummus, kale chips, hard boiled eggs, and shrimp cocktail. Watermelon and ice cream sundaes for dessert in case they didn't eat enough!!
Saturday: Out for the evening at our son's coaches wedding! If we were home, something easy on the grill. Pork tenderloin with a veggie side dish and maybe some rice.
Sunday: Grilled salmon and cod with quinoa and fresh green beans.
Enjoy your week all. I hope some of these come in handy during your busy schedules.
