although i hate that even mentioning it might jinx us, i think that spring is finally here! we enjoyed being outside last night, playing and grilling. have i mentioned how much we’re all looking forward to having a yard in 47 days?!
here’s what we’ll be eating this week :
meatless monday : roasted cumin-lime eggplant quesadillas. can’t get enough of these! super easy and very flavorful. i’ve been going through limes like crazy the past couple of days.
i’ve selected monday as a night of the week for our family to eat a meatless meal as it tends to be more budget friendly as well as a friendlier option for the environment. my meat and potato eating husband tends to go along with this idea because i also make him a yummy dessert in addition to his meatless meal. what can i say, i’m nice like that.
tuesday : omg chicken. i pinned this a while back, time to give it a try. easy is the name of the game with weather so nice we all want to be outside.
wednesday : tacos. you can’t go wrong with tacos!
thursday : grilled cheeseburger wraps. these tasty wraps haven’t graced our menu for a few months. time to remedy that!
friday : out. this is the weekend of birthday parties. fun, fun. i will take any and all gift suggestions for a five year old boy…
new recipe review
chicken avocado salad. delish! i left out the onions because it seemed odd to have raw onions in it but it was great – definitely will make again, an easy lunch dish.
crockpot chicken and barley stew. you know who liked this the most? the baby! he enjoyed it the night we had it and then two days for lunch. it was good and i was glad to use up the barley i had hanging out in the pantry, but i wasn’t wowed by it.
fresh margarita chicken. yum! we had this last night and it was super flavorful. i served it on top of cilantro lime rice – the archer farms box in target is awesome! – with guac on top. definitely will be making again soon.
skinny margarita. i may have had a couple of these this weekend… this could become my official summer drink of 2013.
