Well, hello hello friends! It feels good to be back! I took a few weeks off and during that time, I honestly didn't cook a ton (I was on a beautiful island with Josh for some of the time...) and then I was single parenting it for a bit while Josh was on a business trip as well as a father-daughter trip with our almost 16 yr old. But everyone is home now and it's August!
I know some of you may already be about to embark on Back to School time for your kiddos. We did some back to school shopping (pencils, binders...things) but we won't actually start till after our family trip in mid-September. That annual trip for us always marks the end of our summer break and the beginning of the school season (except for Grace, who goes back to college in a few days), and I am busy planning for it in our homeschool and for our meals as well.
But, we're still in the summer, so here is this week's menu of dinner ideas for you...
Chicken Pesto Burgers
Chicken Pesto Burgers change it up! Smoky chicken instead of beef, fresh tomatoes, spicy arugula, and zesty pesto instead of bacon and cheese!
Greek Chicken Bowls
This "build your own" recipe for Greek Chicken Bowls is simple, healthy, and flexible - use it for lunches, dinners, or even meal ministry!
Teriyaki Meatballs
Basted in a simple, sweet and tangy homemade sauce, these teriyaki meatballs are baked in the oven, making them easy, quick...and yummy!
Kale & Sausage Pasta
Warm, easy, simple, quick, even pretty kid-friendly - what's not to love about this recipe for Kale & Sausage Pasta?
Tex Mex Chicken Tortilla Soup
This comforting, brothy take on tex mex chicken tortilla soup is easy to make in a hurry, and features simple, staple ingredients and easy directions!
Garlic Butter Rice
This easy recipe for garlic butter rice functions well as a base for a chicken bowl, or as a side on its own. It can also be made dairy free!
Moscato Cupcakes
These adorable Moscato Cupcakes are a festive spring and summer dessert! They're easy to whip up and showcase a subtle moscato flavor.
Blueberry Coffee Cake
Make it with fresh berries or frozen - either way, this blueberry coffee cake is an easy, slightly indulgent way to start any morning!
I personally feel as if it is too soon to share fall recipes - we will get there before you know it, but what about my cobblers and crisps Pinterest board for some great end of summer desserts. A berry cobbler is my favorite summer dessert and I tell ya, I can't have enough of them. If you feel similarly, make sure you check out that board for some great ideas!
Have a great week, everyone!
