6/14 - 6/20

Sun. 6/14 ~ We grilled and everyone had something different...I had a turkey burger, Kate had 2 veggie burgers and Gene had BBQ grilled salmon fillets. For sides we had salt potatoes and corn on the cob

Mon. 6/15 ~ Yo-yo night. Gene and I went to Erin & Russ's Pampered Chef party and filled up on yummy food over there. I think Kate ate Ramen noodles.

Tues. 6/16 ~ Steaks on the grill, long grain rice, left over corn on the cob and salt potatoes

Wed. 6/17 ~ Grilled chicken rubbed with a yummy garlic/herb rub and olive oil, steamed veggies

Thurs. 6/18 ~ Yo - yo night. My friend, Erin and I are having "date night." It's a joke. But we are going out to dinner and then to get our hair done..which leaves our families to fend for themselves.

Fri. 6/19 ~ Whole wheat penne pasta with steamed asparagus, zucchini and green beans tossed in a basil pesto w/ freshly grated Parmesan cheese. This is a dish I saw on one of Rachael Ray's 30 Minute Meals a few years ago. It is very yummy and so easy! If I think of it when I go to pick up the veggies, I'll get fresh bread and make garlic bread, too.

Sat. & Sun. are both undecided. Who knows what we'll have going on this weekend and Sunday is Father's Day so Gene may want to go out to eat. We shall see.

menu 6/8 - 6/12

Well, meals this week have been thrown a bit off course. Thursday we had a Yo - yo night (you're on your own), last night I grilled the flank steak (First time I made a flank steak in about 10 years b/c I thought it was such a tough piece a meat. I marinaded it all day long then cooked it on the grill on high for 6 min. on one side and another 5 on the other side..cut against the grain in about 1 inch - 1 1/2 inch slices...YUMMMM). This evening we have been invited over to Erin and Russ's for a BBQ, so I won't be cooking dinner. As far as I know, the dinner plans for tomorrow are still the stuffed peppers. I don't know if I will make rice or buttered noodles with them. I have both..guess I'll see what Gene and Kate want. :)

Mon 6/8 ~ Grilled boneless pork chops and veggie (either grilled asparagus or corn on the cob. HMMMM Such hard decisions!)

Tues. 6/9 ~ Spaghetti, salad and garlic bread (it's class night, so have to make something quick and easy)

Wed. 6/10 ~ Tacos

Thurs. 6/11 ~ Yo-yo night

Fri. ~ 6/12 ~ Beef and chicken kabobs on the grill (not sure of the sides yet...will see what looks good at the grocery store)
