Hey, friends, I hope you had a relaxing weekend. After a month of a lot of activity for us, this was the first weekend in awhile where we had nothing planned and nothing is exactly what we did. I even took a brief catnap on Saturday, which never…ever…happens.
Honestly, I think it was just the thing our kids needed. And yeah, Josh and I, too. Guys, I know the self-quarantine we all did back this spring was hard, but sometimes it’s important to also remember how un-busy we were then. It’s okay to say “no” and clear your schedule. Families are important and they need tending, too.
Onto this week’s menu! I’m testing two new recipes this week and I’m a little excited about it! Hopefully they turn out well and you’ll see them in the future!
Here’s this week’s menu:
Bacon Skillet Sliders
We have struggled with making good classic sliders at home, but these bacon skillet sliders with homemade thousand island dressing are getting it RIGHT.
Chipotle Fish Tacos
Chipotle fish tacos are creamy, spicy, crunchy, smokey, and fresh - they really have it all. They have become a summer grilling mainstay for our family!
Pork Chops with Blackberry Sauce
These grilled pork chops with blackberry sauce are a delightful whirlwind tour of your palate’s capabilities and a must-grill this season!
BBQ Chicken Skewers
BBQ chicken skewers are full of juicy moist chicken, crisp bell peppers, and saucy, sweet pineapple. This easy meal is perfect for hot summer days when you don't want to heat up the house.
Tomato Salad-Topped Grilled Pizza
This tomato-salad topped grilled pizza is one of those super-fresh and summery dinners that just beg to be eaten outdoors!
Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta
Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta is our favorite, simple go-to recipe for light, healthy summer grilling! This recipe has five ingredients, & is ready in 15 min!
Overnight Blueberry French Toast
Overnight Blueberry French Toast is a recipe that is simple and indulgent. When you make it the day before, the morning meal is tasty and effortless!
Back to School starts soon, right? I know all of you are either sending your kids to school (maybe nervously) doing distance learning from home or homeschooling. You are going to be busy, regardless, so let me try to help you out with my Pantry to the Rescue Board. Lot’s of easy recipes that taste amazing and don’t take a ton of time.
I hope this helps and that you have a great week!
