Meals at a glance....

Happy Memorial Day!  It's been a beautiful weekend for just about anything.  Summer is just around the corner and I am excited for the change in routine.

I find with the warmer weather I tend to not be as hungry because I drink more water.  I cannot say the same for my kids!  I  tend to make more cold, hearty salad dishes with noodles and grilled meats in them with the warmer weather here.

Happy for a shorter school week and am keeping it simple for meals.  This week we chose the following...

Monday:  Grilled Chicken, Corn on the cob, and Mixed Green Salad (Grilling a lot of chicken to use throughout the week)

Tuesday:  Sesame-Kale Noodle Salad

Wednesday:  Pita Pizzas with Veggie Toppings & Grilled Chicken

Thursday:  Goat Cheese and Herb Frittata -trying a new recipe that calls for potatoes, peppers zucchini and fresh herbs.

Friday:  Odds & Ends Night-picnic style eating using left overs and finger foods.  Making a nacho platter with beans, fresh salsa, and scallions.

Saturday: Grilling pork tenderloins and pineapple to use in quesadillas

Sunday:  Fish (buying whatever wild fish is on sale this week), brown rice and mixed green salad

Since we have been eating later in the evening, I have cut up fruit along with veggies in a bowl on the table.   Dessert is the fruit so after dinner the kitchen is closed!


Last week many commented on the quesadillas and asked for the recipe.  I hope you and your families enjoyed them as much as mine.  As always keep the comments and questions coming!

Best,

Donna
