Ok, so my hair is no longer on fire {just a little bit of smoldering} so I can do a more proper What to Cook Wednesday feature for you this week. I will go ahead and warn you that I might not be able to offer as much next week as I will be sending not just one but both of my kids off to school for the first time ever! Kleenex is having a banner month thanks to my tissue investments!

We’re not here to talk about school though so let’s get down to the food.

Sunday: Kindergarten prep will be in full force in our house so I am definitely digging the idea of super comfort food. Chicken with artichokes and wine sauce offers some comfort with a little twist.

Monday: It may still be a little hot outside but the idea of trying African peanut soup just stuck with me from the moment I saw it.

Tuesday: We usually do our grocery pick-up on Tuesdays which makes it the perfect day to try out coconut shrimp since they will be fresh from the store!

Wednesday: Instead of tossing leftovers on trash night, meatloaf grilled cheese sandwiches offers a great option for using them!

Thursday: Pasta night! I love the idea of mixing pasta with tons of fresh, summer veggies in pasta primavera.

Friday: By the end of the work week, I am usually looking for something quick and easy (but super tasty) to throw together for dinner. Baja chicken wraps sound like a great option that will fill all those requirements.

Saturday: There is something so summery about corn and crab cakes. With baked corn and crab cakes, I can instantly get the best of both! 

Ok, so tell me what you will be making this week? Have kiddos going back to school (or like in my case…off to school)?

Wednesday…it always seems to sneak up on me.  At least I have something to look forward each “hump day”…WTCW!

Sunday: I love trying different kinds of burgers and experimenting with seasonings. This week, I found adobo feta turkey blt sliders which sounds awesome. 

Monday: We’re going meatless again with grilled zucchini and eggplant parmesan. 

Tuesday: Pasta night gets moved to Tuesday this week and we throw in some yummy peas and prosciutto.

Wednesday: Another new take on a classic summer food are these crispy chorizo dogs which look so yummy. 

Thursday: A mid-week grocery stop will be in order but spicy middle eastern shrimp definitely sound worth it. 

Friday: It is back out to the grill to start the weekend with pineapple lime grilled chicken.

Saturday: Tex mex hasn’t disappeared from these menus forever. In fact, this week, I’ve got sweet pulled pork tacos on the menu.

  

It’s Wednesday and, unlike last week, I’m at work.

Oh well, that doesn’t mean we can’t check out a little bit of food fun!

Sunday: Let’s start the week of right with something super yummy like Island Pork Tenderloin. 

Monday: H has swim lessons every Monday which means we have just under an hour to get both kids fed and to the pool. Chicken bruschetta on garlic toast sounds like a quick and yummy option.

Tuesday: The farmer’s market is full of delicious looking zucchini. Pasta salad with corn and zucchini is the perfect dish to put it to good use.

Wednesday: Another great {but easy} way to use all the fresh vegetables available right now: French Ratatouille.

Thursday: We skipped meatless Monday so we’ll stick to a veggie pasta this week and make mushroom and broccoli lo mein.  

Friday: This zucchini, squash and ricotta galette looks so light and delicious…perfect for a summer night.

Saturday: Let’s end the week with a food celebration! My kids consider pizza party food so I’m putting grilled bbq pork pizza on the list.

Ok, I’m back and ready to eat…er, cook. Ok, maybe a little of both!

Let’s take a look at some yummy ideas for this week.

Sunday: I didn’t get nearly enough seafood while away at the beach so I am putting grilled buffalo shrimp po boys first on my list! 

Monday: Meatless Monday’s main veggie this week is found in broccoli parmesan fritters.

Tuesday: How about some good ole traditional beef tacos for an easy weeknight meal?

Wednesday: The weather is really beautiful and perfect for giving my new grill a workout. Tonight, I’m going to give chicken Monterey a try. 

Thursday: Speaking of grilling, I would have never thought to try this but grilled pasta packets sound like an awesome idea.

Friday: Let’s end the work week with an easy to make Italian style monte cristos.

Saturday: Some nights I just love a good pasta dish like pasta with Portobello mushrooms, caramelized onions and chevre.

So, what is on your list for this week? Got a new recipe I need to try? I’d love to hear about it if so.
