Back from vacation . . . what to eat now? Where's Mom??! Help!! :)
Here's my quick "on the fly at the grocery store" plan to get us through Liam's trip, etc.
Saturday: (All from the freezer/garden, and it was awesome!) Grilled salmon, summer squash, and red onion, tossed with a little soy sauce and some pea pods that were "lightly grilled", all served over brown rice. (I called it "grill stir-fry".) :) Salad.
Sunday: Mussels in garlic butter sauce (had them in the freezer from the store, never tried them before, they were awesome! Kids (minus Grace) loved them too! WIN!) pesto pasta with broccoli
Monday: Round steak and portobellos (totally ruined the round steak. Knew I had to cook it very slow so it wasn't tough, but got distracted (KIDS!), grill flared up, meat ruined. Like eating a rubber tire.) sweet potatoes, tom/basil/mozz.
Tuesday: "Slow and low dry rub oven chicken", edamame, corn, fried rice with pea pods if there are any more in the garden. (If not, I saw some purple beans ready while I was weeding yesterday . . . YAY!)
Wednesday: BILL'S PUB!!! (Kids get a treat for completing their "good manners sticker path"! Obviously, this is really a treat for me. WIN-WIN!)
Thursday: Chard and black bean enchiladas
Friday: BBSGFB (Booher Birthday-Season Grand Finale Bash) :) Grilled something + potluck! :)
Saturday: Dinner at a friend's house . . . they have 5 kids and their oldest is 8. Should be veeeeeery interesting!! :)
Its tough to be back from a GREAT vacation! Hope you all are doing well, and everyone who was traveling is home safe and sound.
Love,
Kathy
Ha!
ReplyDeleteI miss our vacation prep and dinners in the condo kitchen! I'm tempted to retry the grilled veggie squash and tomato salad we made on the 4th. Mark will still have to be responsible for chopping garlic.
We returned from Augusta late last night and today viewed our overgrown and wilting garden. (Boo!) Fortunately we rescued some yellow tomatoes, carrots and cucumbers to make a salad with some store bought arugula. We also found some frozen Korean BBQ ribs for dinner tonight.
I'm scavenging the blog looking for ideas for this week.
I like that good manners earn the kids a trip to the pub! BBSGFB and your Saturday night plans also sound like fun.
Cheers to all,

PS-- I hope Luke is feeling better.
