- Sunday was our church's Sunday School Fair so we ate lunch there.
- Monday - we had waffles with homemade triple berry syrup and egg bake.
- Tuesday - we were bad and did drivethru because we were running late for our family photo session.
- Wednesday - my MIL made a delicious tex-mex chicken and rice casserole (chicken, rice, salsa, etc.) with a side salad. See her comment below for the recipe.
- Thursday - tonight we are having Chicken BLT wraps and cucumber sticks. The cukes and tomato came out of my garden, YUMMY! I LOVE the fresh veggies from my garden and thoroughly missed them last year. If it weren't for my in-laws giving me extra veggies from their garden last year, I think I would have gone into some serious withdrawal!
- Friday - some friends invited us over for a cookout. I will be bringing a fresh fruit/melon salad (blueberries, red grapes, apples, and 2 kinds of melon) and dessert. I really want to try doing a new kind of cheesecake, maybe some kind of a fruit and chocolate swirled cheesecake similar to this one on allrecipes.
- Saturday - I'm thinking that tacos sound really good. Or maybe even a nice big Chef's Salad. Still deciding, whichever one I choose not to do will go on the menu next week.*
*Ended up grilling for the in-laws - Sirloin steaks with spicy avocado sauce and sautéed mushrooms-n-onions, side salad, bbq beans, carrot sticks, and blueberry mango ice cream.
I used what I had in the house. Surprisingly it turned out really good! I am not usually this talented, or at least never have the confidence to "go for it" ;) here goes!
