Well, I could tell you that I have great plans this week. That I have a menu. And grocery list. And that I'm going to cook all week. But honestly, as long as we get fed...that's all that matters!
Monday:
We're probably going to eat leftovers. Our neighbors had a Birthday BBQ yesterday. And sent us home, with SO MUCH FOOD!!! I'm guessing, that it is going to be equally as delish. Cheeseburgers, salads, and dessert!
Tuesday:
I think, in our house at least, Tuesday should be known as Tostada Tuesday. It's what we do. Move over tacos...tostadas have taken over our home!!!
Wednesday:
So for the last couple of weeks, we've had a Growers' Market on Wednesdays. But this week, it was cancelled for another event. And my Momma and aunts have decided to head to Santa Fe for the day. Leaves me at home. With the pups. For like 12 hours. My decision. Salad! All day long. I'm thinking a Mexican Chicken Salad. For lunch. And maybe grilled veggies and chicken for din-din. :)
Thursday:
Gosh who the heck knows? I'd like to be positive and say, that I'm going to cook. But the reality is, it's heading towards the end of the week. And more than likely, I won't be cooking. Maybe we can just swing by Wendy's. Folks I'm being real here!
Friday:
As silly as it sounds, I'm sorta looking forward to Friday. I think we'll grill. I have some shrimp in the freezer. And lots of veggies. Maybe some skewers. Or grilled shrimp tacos. It all sounds yummy!
Saturday:
2nd Annual Blea Summer Party!!! So I'm not cooking. I'm looking forward to some burgers poolside. Even if I don't swim. And there is a 50% chance of rain. We ain't letting that get us down!
Sunday:
It's Father's Day. And for all the reasons...we don't really do too much. My Momma nor I, have a daddy here on Earth. So we haven't really made any big plans. Plus it's post-Blea Summer Party. And there is another 50% chance of rain in the forecast. Maybe we'll head to a local concert. Or just stay home. And munch on a baked potato.
Things I'm looking forward to making this week? There are quite a few recipes I'd like to try out. But with this heat, I'm being honest, it ain't happening. Not really. For the last week, if it wasn't a breakfast burrito...it's been fresh fruit for breakfast. It's how I roll.
Lunch has been salads...or sammies. Because really, who wants to be in the kitchen? I want to be enjoying the weather. Playing with the pups. Reading a book, doing work, or crocheting...under our pine trees. I want to watch the hummingbirds eat, play in the flower beds, and go on long walks.
So our food is starting to get real simple. Real fast. And our weekends sure are feeling up fast! Birthday parties, graduations, BBQs, Summer parties, and Growers' Markets...and ALL the Summer Fun!
I came across this glorious recipe. And thought, I NEED to make that. For the Blea Summer Party. Yum! There are also a ton of grilling ideas, that I want to try here. Southern Living never lets me down either. I found a ton of ideas. That I want to try out this Summer. Oh and this is going on the top of my list!
That's it for now. Honestly, if I manage cooking 4 days this week...we shall call that a success! Because I've been so exhausted. I not sure what is going on with me. I just know, I have orders to work on, laundry to get done, and at some point...I need to get us fed. Is anyone else in the same boat? Happy Monday!
XOXO,
Desiree
