I tend to appreciate Summer more now then I used to - especially June. June tends to be not quite as hot and humid and it is enjoyable to sit outside, especially in the mornings and evenings. I also love how summer slows down. I told Darryl that my theme for this summer is "Go no where and Spend nothing" HA! Due to the amount of road construction going on in this side of the state you almost can't even get anywhere even if you want to go!!!
We are still enjoying Skinny Taste recipes. I told Darryl that by using her recipes the amount of fresh fruits/veggies I'm buying has quadrupled while the canned/processed foods has been cut in half. We still enjoy our family favorites but finding some new things is nice too.
Here's the plan for this week (June 3-9)
Friday - We have our first open house of the season to attend. We haven't always attended open houses but as my guys get older I know how important to attend others so they will someday attend "ours".
Saturday - Our weekly dinner at my mom's :-) This is always appreciated!!
Sunday - I have a concert today and my family will head home after church so we will all be on our own (I'm sure Taco Bell is in everyone's future HA!)
Monday - Spaghetti Carbonara and French Bread
Tuesday - Blackened Shrimp and Grits and Summer Corn, Tomato and Avocado Salad with Creamy Buttermilk Dijon Dressing
Wednesday - We have a new summer "plan". My two guys are going to be mowing Nana's yard and the plan is for that to happen on Wednesdays. Therefore, they will spend the afternoon at her house. Then, she will bring them home and have summer with us. My goal is to cook her favorites!!! (Or at least food she likes HA!). So, the plan for tonight is Crock-Pot Fajitas, Salad, and Chips and Salsa.
Thursday -Sloppy Joes and Sweet Potato Fries in the air fryer.
