Summer has arrived. Relaxed schedules and more free time are a treat. My family and I decided to adopt a second dog so life is a little crazy, but we're sure that in another week things will settle down! (I hope!!) Any suggestions on how to make transitions easier??
I am hoping to shop now at the Farmer's Market and buy fresh and local veggies. I love walking around and looking at all the different vendors.
My basil and parsley plants are growing quickly so I will be making pesto this week. I also planted orange mint which tastes delicious on fruit and in salads. I'm trying to make things easy this week as we all adjust to our new pup.
So, our week ahead looks something like this:
Monday: Taco salad with lean, grass- fed ground beef and many toppings like avocados, red onion, peppers, tomatoes, scallions, and cheese. I buy the taco shells from Trader Joe's or from the organic section of the supermarket.
Tuesday: Spicy grilled shrimp over brown rice and a mixed green salad
Wednesday: Grilled chicken over pesto pasta
Thursday: Meatball Subs and salad
Friday: Odds & Ends Night--picnic style dinner with leftovers and finger foods like hummus and veggies, cheese & crackers, and pesto and bread
Saturday: Homemade pizzas-want to try cooking them on the grill
Sunday: Wild Fish-will see what is on sale, mixed green salad, and quinoa
Happy Summer all. Please share your favorite summer recipes and let us know what works in your house.
Best,
Donna
