Category Archives: Menu Plan & Shopping List

I hope all the mom’s out there had a great Mother’s day yesterday. I spent some time out on the boat with my parents and had a delicious late lunch of buffalo grouper tacos! Because we like to eat, a lot, we ended up fixing the Grilled Cheese Panzanella Salad for a late dinner while we watched TV. I’m telling myself it’s kind of healthy since it has tomatoes and onion, just never mind the grilled cheese croutons.

Things are finally getting back to normal around here. I have my new computer all set up. Photoshop is loaded on it and I’m starting to rewrite a few recipes that I can remember.  Losing a hard drive is not fun. I was able to find my pictures back to December on various memory cards, but at the moment I have been able to recover the picture from October and November (when we got the new puppy!) We are running a recovery though so hopefully one of these days I will be able to get back most of my work.

I am really excited about all the meals this week. I would buy a few big containers of lettuce and serve salads along side all of these. Between all the vegetables I have you buying you should easily have some leftover to add to salads.
