Weekly Meal Planning July 31-Aug 6

Back to reality.... We were at the beach and got back Friday evening. Look for a vacation post coming soon! We had a very relaxing week but now we feel thrown to the wolves trying to get ready for school to start in T-10 days. Eek!

So to kick off the week, as it was a rainy and dreary afternoon, we decided to head out to a food market for an early dinner. It was delicious but now I need to buckle down and meal plan! I have my farm box coming tomorrow for the first time in weeks so I'm definitely going to be taking advantage of that. 

Sunday: out to Ponce City Market

Monday: Cobb salad 

Tuesday: beef fajita salad

Wednesday: leftovers

Thursday: super eggs 

Friday: zoodles and kale pesto

Saturday: out to dinner

What does your meal plan look like for the first week of August?

Blueberries

It's blueberry season here and we went to a small farm to pick our own again this year. My kids love doing it and we brought along some friends who have never been before. They loved it too! Now to come up with some blueberry recipes for the 10+ lbs we came home with..... Stay tuned!

Weekly Meal Planning for July 3 - 9

Another summer week, another week of fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants meal planning. Meal planning has not been my BFF this summer. Or should I say *I* haven't been BFFs with meal planning. Or planned grocery shopping. Sigh. This week started out on a bad foot with us rushing back from a day at the lake with longtime friends just in time to open the freezer and hope for something easy to heat up. Then 4th of July was a blur and the day after the 4th came with its crankiness. And I woke up the day after and thought "we have no food".  Alas, a trip to the farmers market solved that!

Sunday: spinach ravioli and meatball muffins

Monday: at a 4th of July get together

Tuesday: Mexican spiced grilled sirloin, retried black beans, sautéed onions, guacamole and carrot chips

Wednesday: leftover ravioli and caprese salad  

Thursday: grilled pizzas: caprese and arugula/prosciutto  

Friday: out to eat

Saturday: spinach turkey burgers, corn on the cob, pickled green beans 

Red White & Blue

Breakfast: Yogurt (or cottage cheese for my oldest) with berries for the win this Fourth of July weekend! Have a safe Fourth!
