Here are a few pics from a hike that we took with some friends yesterday afternoon:
Does anyone know what these little spines are that are sticking up off of this maple leaf? Just wondering.
After all of that fun, I'm tired! This afternoon as I sat down to plan our meals for the week and make a grocery list, my mind went blank. I just wasn't in the mood for planning. It was the perfect time to enlist "meal plan recycling", which I site in my Guide to Meal Planning as one of the benefits to holding onto previous meal plans. I looked back through my summer meal plans and picked this one from June:
Monday June 22nd
Smoked Sausage with Red Beans and Rice
Tuesday June 23rd
Chicken with Black Bean Salsa
Wednesday June 24th
Fresh Fettucini with Clam Sauce
Thursday June 25th
Garden Vegetable Soup
Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Friday June 26th
Pizza...always pizza.
Saturday June 27th
Brats on the Grill
Tomato and Corn Risotto
Sunday June 28th
Bruschetta on the deck

I don't know what those spikes are but Julia from The Apron Goddesses is a Botanist and my go to girl for questions about plants and such.
Great menu for this week!
I don't know if I've ever told you, but I love how organized you are with your shopping list! Your pics are adorable, too!
I think the spikes on the leaf are some sort of bug eggs, but don't quote me on it. :)
Recycled meals are the best; you gotta have your tried and true favorites every once in awhile.
Sweet, sweet pix of you and your children.
