We had a FABULOUS vacation in California. Yosemite and Sequoia were amazing, and we even saw 10 bears while hiking, including two babies climbing a tree. How cool is that! Now that we are back home in the icky Missouri heat and humidity, I'm trying to come up with meals that won't heat up the house to cook but will still be tasty and filling. Here is this week's menu. For more menu ideas go to orgjunkie.com. Have a great week!

Sunday - Leftover Country Style Ribs, Leftover Sour Cream and Chive Mashers, Green Beans, Salad
Monday - Chicken and Dumplings, Salad
Tuesday - BLTs, Potato Soup (just using a mix this time)
Wednesday - Chicken Quesadillas (grilled chicken strips from freezer, cheddar cheese, and tortillas - pretty simple and no recipe needed), Salad, Strawberries
Thursday - Grilled Pork Tenderloin, Mashed Potatoes (from freezer), Green Beans
Friday - Burrito Bowls (scroll down past the menu on the linked post to see how I make these), Fruit
Saturday - Leftovers

We are getting ready to go on vacation! Woo hoo! We are headed to California to go to Yosemite on Tuesday. Because of our travel, my menu this week and the next week will be a bit sparse. But, I'll link you to some previous year's menus during this month to give you some additional ideas. :) On a side note, the Marsala Burgers from last week were FABULOUS! Be sure to try them out if you're looking for a new burger recipe. Here's my menu for the next two weeks. We have a housesitter staying at our house while we're gone, but I'm sure you won't want his menu. :) Again, be sure to check the archives for more ideas. You can also find more menus at orgjunkie.com.
