Well, hello, August! How did that happen?? I can't believe we have less than a month before the kids are back to school... Waahhhh... I'm so not ready...
But I can't say I'm not ready for summer to be over. Well, maybe, not completely over but a few less degrees would be nice. We had a beautiful, long rainy day today (our lawn and garden are both extremely happy!!) and it felt wonderful! I normally don't even like rain... But now I welcome all this beautiful moisture with open arms. It's been too hot to cook - and I seriously crave this right now:
But I really don't want to turn on the oven... Ugh...
On a good note, we didn't have any food waste last week. And so far on our menu this week (subject to change as it's been happening many times lately :)
Mon.- pizza night (kids' choice)
Tues.- zucchini pasta
Wed. - green chicken salad
Thurs.- hot dogs, mashed potatoes, cut up veggies (lazy Mama dinner...)
Fr.- breakfast for dinner (and another one...)
Sat.- dinner with friends
Sun.- leftovers
And what's gonna be on your table this week?
Now that you've shown the picture, I'm craving pumpkin roll. :)
ReplyDeleteI know, right? Yum!!
DeleteIt's 59 here and freezing. Please send me some of your hot weather.
ReplyDeleteThings have been so crazy here that I'm kind of making up dinners as we go. DJ is leaving for college on the 13th and then I will have no more little ones at home. I think that I am going to miss him. Shhhh, don't tell him.
Oh, I so wish I could pack a few degrees in a nice package with a red ribbon for you... It's going to be 90 here again tomorrow :(
DeleteOh sweet lord, what is in that delicious looking picture? It looks amazing & I too now want some. :-) We're having tacos, paella, pasta + chicken, & maybe quesadillas this week.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pumpkin roll :) Your menu sounds delicious!!
DeleteThat looks yum! What is it?
ReplyDeleteIt's a pumpkin roll :)
DeleteHonestly, it seems like summer just arrived a couple of weeks ago. I have a hard and fast rule that everything (project-wise) needs to be completed before Halloween. It seems now that Halloween is the beginning of the rush toward the holiday season. This year I am actually aiming for October 1. We used to make fun of my mom for having this arbitrary October 1 date for having things done. By golly, she was right___again!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great rule! This summer has been really slow for us project-wise but I really want to finish quite a few of them before I'll be thirty weeks and too uncomfortable to move around...
DeleteWe have had a cool summer here. In fact, we had to leave the park yesterday because we didn't have jackets and it was chilly. Crazy! I've never heard of such a thing here. I don't like it.
ReplyDeleteSo not ready for school to get back in session here either. I like the kids home. :)
Your dish looks good. What is it?
It's a pumpkin roll - my go-to fall treat :)
DeletePumpkin roll! You had to put the picture up didn't you? Thanks a lot, now I want to eat one and I am not eating for 3.
ReplyDeleteWhen my MIL makes these, she makes extra and freezes them in the fall so she doesn't heat the house up in the summer, but I don't have her willpower! - Jen
