Menu Plan Monday (Year 2, Week 24)

And we're back! And refreshed!  And it's raining all week, so even though our favorite go-to during the summer is grilling, doesn't look like we can make plans for that this week.... here's what we're eating:

6.11.12 - Cheesy Lime Chicken w/ Cucumber Tomato Salad & Rice
6.12.12 - Turkey Tacos & Homemade Guacamole
6.13.12 - Freezer Meal - Baked Ziti
6.14.12 - Salads w/ Chicken in Thai Chili Sauce
6.15.12 - Supper Club - Taking Salad
6.16.12 - Cookout for Hilary & Kyle's BBQ Shower
6.17.12 - TBD

Menu Plan Monday (Year 2, Week 23)

So when we're going out of town for part of the week, I usually just buy a few basic groceries that won't go bad that I can throw together simple recipes on the nights we're actually at home. I'm headed to the beach for part of the week so I won't do any food shopping til I get there and see what all my mom already has stocked.

So it's a vacation from menu planning & a much needed few days off from work! Hopefully I'll come back refreshed and with some new summer recipes to try! If you know any good ones, send them my way!

Beaufort meets Zeke

This weekend, we were so excited to introduce Beaufort to a new family member. A few weeks ago, we saw that our breeder had a goldendoodle that needed to be adopted! Turns out, Beaufort and Zeke have the same dad, so they are half brothers! Since Ryan's parents adopted him, we've started calling him Beaufort's br-uncle (brother-uncle).

It was so fun to see them play together and watch how their personalities are both similar and different. They were worn out after an evening of running, playing ball, and wrestling. One thing is for sure, they're both people lovers and will do just about anything for a treat!
