Happy 4th of July Week! I love any holiday that makes all the banks close which  means I get more time with my hubby. Of course, I also love it because it stands for our Country's freedom. But to be honest, I'm not a huge 4th of July person. I like the decorations and any excuse to have a BBQ, but it's not a holiday I get super stoked about celebrating. I know, I'm such a downer right? Okay, I'm not a huge firework person. When I was little, we would go down to my family's beach cabin every year and celebrate the 4th there and watch their really cool firework show. It's the best firework show on the Oregon Coast and I got excited about that one. But to be honest, I get kind of bored sitting around watching the little fireworks sputter and blast loud annoying sounds. I would rather spend my money on fun foodie ingredients, lol!

This week, I'm feeling better. I actually got out of the house yesterday (Sunday) and probably over did it a little bit. My back behind my rib hurts today, which is making everything a bit more painful, but I made the bed and put the clean dishes away and Josh got mad at me for that, because, Man, those plates are heavy! But I'm not stuck in bed anymore. Well, I'm sitting in bed now, because the pillows are propped up against my back and it helps alleviate some of the pressure. But I got a lot accomplished for me in this condition this weekend.

The weather is still somewhat cool here, High 60's low 70's. But by Wednesday, it's heating up, so I planned my menu accordingly to the weather. And Yes, I do plan to attempt to get back in the kitchen and make dinner. Grace, will be my sous chef though. I think this whole thing has been good for her; teaching her more responsibility and to really help out a lot more around the house, which she is more than happy to do, bless her heart.

Monday
Lemon Rosemary Chicken Bake, with potatoes and carrots.
Tuesday
Mexican Lasagna with a side salad 
Wednesday
Happy 4th of July!
We're going to my brothers and sister's for a BBQ!
Thursday
Creamy Garlic Pasta
Friday
Tuscan Tuna and White Bean Salad
Saturday
Lime Chicken Tacos...or I might make them into burritos
Sunday
Smoked Sausage Kabobs with grilled corn on the cob and rice
I plan on using my crockpot a lot this summer to assist me in keeping the house as cool as possible! When you don't have air conditioning, you have to get creative. I'm sure you will hear me complain a lot more about that as my pregnancy progresses and I continue to suffer. Thank goodness for the a/c unit in our bedroom, or I would surely die!
Desserts, etc

Slow-Cooker Peach Cobbler
and I'm making a side dish for the 4th of July at my brother's house :)
