We are excited in Southwest Missouri this week as we are finally supposed to have a break in our heat wave. The temperatures were well over 100 all last week, and this week they are supposed to stay in the high 80s. I guess the only good thing about our drought and heat wave is that we haven't had to mow the yard in a month, and when you usually have to mow four acres once a week, that's kind of nice. But, I do miss green grass.
Enough about the weather and on to food. We have some friends in town on vacation this week, so we had them over to grill last night. The rest of the week we are getting ready for vacation number two! That means next week I won't have a menu posted for you, so be sure to check the archives if you need some ideas. I would ask my housesitters to post what they will be cooking, but not everyone gets excited about sharing what they eat. ;) Our meals are simple ones this week, but good ones. We skipped the Ott's House Casserole last week because we had a lot of leftover pork tenderloin from the 4th of July. So, you will see it back on the menu this week. We'll also be having Mexican Gumbo at the request of my son. Here's this week's menu. Enjoy and have a great week! Be sure to follow me on Facebook to get fast updates from the blog. :)
Sunday - Sirloin Steaks, Foil Pack Potatoes, Green Beans, Salad, Peaches
Monday - Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Creamy Cilantro Sauce, Rice, Salad, Strawberries
Tuesday - Mexican Gumbo, Salad, Peaches
Wednesday - Ott's House Casserole, Broccoli, Salad
Thursday - Leftovers
Friday - Vacation - Housesitters Choice
Saturday - Vacation - Housesitters Choice
