Sunday Scaries - Meal Plan Week of 6/28

It has been a while friends! Here is the meal plan for a Fourth of July week-weekend with various visitors at the riv! Most of it is simple, grilled and/or in a crock, easy to assemble because really, I want to capitalize on time with people, chillin' on dinosaur floats and playing, not preparing everything. Happy Fourth of July!

Week of 6/28

Sunday: Burgers, dogs, chips and watermelon

Keeping it simple on a hot Sunday :)

Monday: Grilled pizza

I got some naan flatbread instead of making dough from scratch this time. Again simple is key on hot days when you don’t want to be over a hot oven or grill long!

Tuesday: Organic and grass fed beef hot dogs from one of my fav places, Saylor’s with a big ol’ salad

I have been skipping the buns any time I eat these, but they sure are good atop a salad!

Wednesday: Tacos!

Mixing things up and having Tacos on a day other than Tuesday- oh no! What will the universe do?

Thursday: Veggie burgers and picked zucchini salad

Friday: Crock pot mac n cheese, tomato, avocado and cucumber salad

I use cherub tomatoes for the salad, chop everything up, add some squeezed lemon juice, salt and pepper and that is it. So fresh, so delicious!

Saturday: Brisket sammies with salad

Sunday: Charcuterie, Vegetarian taco dip, veggies and dip

I got the taco dip recipe from my older sister long ago: mix cream cheese and sour cream (I add some taco seasoning to it sometimes) and place it at the bottom of a pyrex dish, add a layer of really good salsa or pico, then a layer of Mexican cheese, and top with black olives and scallions. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. NOMMMMM. Also, because I am a nerd the dip and the veggie platter will be patriotic in nature with their arrangements! America!
