Indian Summer?

Well we enjoyed 80 degree temps this weekend, meaning we spent lots of time outside. Pop and Magga were here so we had a blast running around the yard, "fishing," meals on the deck, and a baseball game to top it off. I  always long for fall, but I can't resist these low-humidity wam days in September! 

Anyways, here are a few cute pics from the weekend.



On a totally different topic, I get the question of how do I cook and plan weekly meals each week from friends often, so I thought I might try posting a few weekly menus on here. We're blessed that A is a good eater (what he lacks in quantity he makes up for in variety), so everything I post is A approved. My go to cookbook these days is the Six O'Clock Scramle (SOS), which I adore. She has great recipes that are actually fast. And they use a variety of grains, vegetables, and spices which I love. *I try to go meatless multiple nights a week, so you'll notice that within my menu.

Okay here we go...
Sunday, aka Grill Day: pork chops, oven roasted potatoes with herbs, oven roasted brocolli 
Monday: sweet potato quesadillas with a side salad*
Tuesday: leftovers from the weekend (I made baked ziti from a Pioneer Woman which makes enough for 12 so...)
Wednesday: Greek rice bowl (SOS)*
Thursday: Pumpkin soup with canellini beans and pancetta (the original recipe is from has this made on the stovetop, but I'm going to make it in the slow cooker)
Friday: Sausage with apples and cabbage (again, from SOS)

If you like my menu go buy SOS. I swear I'm not getting a kickback. Also, check back next week to see what we have planned  ðŸ˜„
