What are you up to this week? Wish me luck, because this is Ben’s first week back at work [tear!] so I’m gonna have to learn how to take care of our little baby all by myself. I really can’t complain though, because Ben has been home with us for nine weeks so I know I’ve been so blessed and so spoiled. Evenings will take on new significance, I’m sure! If you try one thing from the menu plan below, try my Thai Seared Shrimp with Tomato, Basil, and Coconut. It was one of the first “fancy” meals I ever made for Ben back when we were dating, and it’s still a favorite today! 🙂 Enjoy, friends! Have a wonderful week.

Sundays of a three day weekend are the best, aren’t they??! They usually signify the end of a weekend, but today… it’s just the middle of it. Woohoo! I hope you have an awesome time celebrating the 4th this weekend with family and friends. I know we will with our little man. 🙂 In the meantime, here are the eats for the week. Apparently we all are serving salad! My chopped kale salad [with lots of bleu cheese and bacon!] is always a hit… and if you’re in the mood for dessert, may I suggest my CHOCOLATE strawberry shortcakes? So good! I need to get some berries to make them again soon. 🙂 Enjoy! Have a great rest of your weekend, friends.

It’s the first full week of summer! Crazy, huh? It’s felt like summer for a long time here in Nashville, but the calendar said otherwise I suppose. Oh well, now that it’s summer, let’s eat some tasty summer food! To me that means watermelon, berries, burgers, hot dogs, and crisp salads. I like those foods year round, but in the summertime they just taste better I think. 🙂 What do you like to eat in the summertime? Below are some of our favorite summer entrees. Chime in with your favorite summer recipes! I’d love to try them out. 🙂 Have a great week!!

Happy Sunday! What have you been up to this weekend? We have been enjoying the beautiful weather with our lil baby! He’s growing so fast. 🙂 We hope to grill today…and by we, I mean I hope Ben grills, haha. I hope it’s not too hot, but we shall see. It’s been fun getting to go out and about more as the baby grows, but being home and having a great meal that’s not from the freezer [though I am SO grateful for March Sarah who made lots of freezer meals] is super nice too. 🙂 Anyways, onto the meals for the week! I probably say this every week, but I’m so glad that a group of us have paired together to make these meal plans. It’s so nice to get ideas from others, amiright? Enjoy!
