I need to go food shopping, which means I need to make a list, which means I need to have a menu planned and...shocking, I know...I don't have one yet.
It's already disgustingly humid here and I'm not up for facing the heat of the kitchen. So, this week will be lots of salads and sandwiches and our favorite lemonade and possibly something on the grill...like veggies. Of course, Sunday is Mother's Day and I wanted to do something special, even if I am cooking it myself.
So, what's everyone else eating? Hurry up and inspire me before I head off to the store!
I made the most delicious salad last week. Baby greens, and all the fresh veggies in the fridge, in individual bowls.
ReplyDeleteI topped each salad with pickled egg slices and leftover salmon (how did we ever have left over salmon?)
Happy Mother's Day!!
I'm going to have to try that zucchini frittata. And all I need to buy is the tomato.
ReplyDeleteI may have posted the salad suggestion in the wrong place. But it was very good.
Warm weather- less cooking indoors. On our menu: Sashimi, taco salad; hamburgers from the grill,ribs, deviled eggs, spinach salad...
ReplyDeleteAnne- you are a mom among moms... have a great Mother's Day!
I'm going there this morning and have no idea what to buy other than washing powders... It's just too hot to cook down here right now. I'm being hard headed about turning on the AC. Imagine that?
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful- happy Mother's Day :)
after being a mother trucker all week and contractor boy ALL day today (30 bags mulch 20 bags stones) I'm going to the brew works for a hummus platter and grilled chicken quesadilla..
