Hiya, friends! We had such a beautiful weekend and it was relatively low key. I mean, I got things done, but I was also single-parenting it for pretty much the a good chunk of the week and whole weekend. Josh left for a business trip on Sunday afternoon, got home that Wednesday, and then left again for a quick men's camping trip with his dad, brothers, nephews, and Christian. Gives me a little more respect (and I already had a lot) for you single parents out there - major kudos - it is hard work balancing it all and I am in awe of you!
I cooked ALL week and weekend, and while I'm in major need of a break, I do have some tasty meals planned for the week, and since Josh will be home, we will be doing some grilling and I am very excited to share these recipes with you!
Here's what's on the menu this week:
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!
Bacon Gouda Burgers
This bacon gouda burger is juicy, flavorful, and will impress all your friends and their tastebuds at your next backyard barbecue!

Did you know that 4th of July is next week? That also means that it's Cub's second birthday (I cannot believe it, I get teary eyed just thinking of it). Last year, we combined the 4th of July with his birthday because his birthday is just a few days away, and at this age, he doesn't really know the difference. I think we're going to do a Bluey-themed celebration - it's the only show he watches and he LOVES it and of course, who doesn't. Getting back to the 4th of July, though, I have a Pinterest board suggestion for you to check out, it's my Americana Recipes for BBQ's! Kind of has a fun ring to it, I think. What is your favorite 4th of July food? Tell me in the comments!
Have a great week, everyone!
