A busy summer, a bountiful garden, (tomatoes anyone?) and my husband Mike has finally laid aside his golf clubs for a little while. I don't think I've ever bemoaned the fact that I am a golf "widow" during Spring and Summer, while my husband chases golf tournaments around the state.
So, with all my free time in the summer, I work at the Saturday market in Grants Pass, and spend Sundays catching up on housework and reminding our two dogs that I still love them.
(I think I'm a bad dog mommy, but they seem to love me anyway)
Surprisingly, Mike has decided to become more involved in the planning of weekday dinners and "Perhaps I (Lisa) could cook more on the weeknights?", he gently pushes. I have to admit he does a LOT of weeknight cooking, and I deeply appreciate it. So this particular Sunday morning was dedicated to inventory and a meal plan.
I have to admit, it was pretty funny, if you could only see us with our heads buried deep in chest freezer in the garage, "One large ham", I shout,"Four chicken thighs", "Why do we have frozen BBQ sauce?" Quite the ordeal!
What we did accomplish was a pretty good weeknight plan of dinners, using on hand staples, then a quick trip to the grocery store for the perishables.We both work 50 hour per week jobs and arrive home each night tired and hungry, as I imagine we are not alone in this, I thought you might enjoy the recipes from this week's "meal plan".
Bon Appetit!
