I don't know how summer is going for your families, but here I feel like it is just as busy as the school year but without a time schedule! I miss the days when the kids were younger and playing monopoly all day was a treat. The biggest decision we made was pool or the lake? It is hard for me to accept the fact that we are all getting older and the four kids have different activities at all different hours. I remind myself that if this is my biggest problem then I'm pretty lucky.
Even though life is busy I do make meals a priority. I want to sit down at dinner and share our day and have conversation. We have been eating around 7:30 at night so that can happen, so appetizers, veggies and cheese, are around 5pm for whoever is home!
This week is supposed to be a hot one, so again easy meals that do not require much heat in the kitchen!
Monday: Rice Bowls- brown rice with cilantro, lettuce, beans, peppers & onions, avocado, sour cream, and chips & salsa (Chipotle inspired)
Tuesday: Grilled Salmon with roasted potatoes and asparagus
Wednesday: Pizza on the grill- I have never done this before but we're giving it a try
Thursday: Grilled Chicken and Corn on the Cob and Mixed Green Salad
Friday: Wrap Sandwiches with lots of veggies, pesto, and left over grilled chicken
Weekend: Spending time with family and plan on one night out and one night grilling. Some friends are vegetarians so plan on grilling fresh produce from farmer's market like eggplant and zucchini
Health & happiness to all,
Donna
