Flexibility is key this week, because the weather is beautiful and our schedule unpredictable! I am trying to use all this great summer produce yet keep things simple enough to maximize our time outside. Here is what I came up with...
Day One:
"When nothing but the back of the Bisquick box will do"
(The kids devour this. I am even able to sneak extra veggies in by grating carrots or zucchini and cooking them with the beef and the onion)

Day Two:
"Make ahead meal for the week"
(Yum. The summer produce is prefect for this veggie lasagna!
This is already ready to go in my fridge for dinner tomorrow)

She shared her picodillo recipe (to come) with me as a wedding gift.)

In our house it's almost always like day 2! Seriously, :) my kids love it so much that they don't really mind if we have it four to five times a week. I just try to mix and match side dishes to make it more interesting. Sometimes I also experiment on new lasagna recipes. All four of them would really go running down the stairs every time my lasagna started to smell, even if it's not dinner time yet, lol!
ReplyDeleteDay 3 & 4 sound delish!
ReplyDeletewhat a tasty week :) I'll be by for dinner tomorrow for that lasagna :)
