This is an odd week for us, the kids left this morning for St. Louis to visit their great-grandparents. I asked Mike this morning what he wanted on the menu, his response was “let’s just eat out every night!” I was on-board with that until he found a belated birthday present he wanted (and I had not budgeted for). I gave him his choice, the toy or dinner out every night. Of course he chose the toy. Ugh – I guess I won’t get away from menu planning after all.
Last week I played around with a pineapple upside down cupcake using a box cake mix. How easy is that? Be sure and check it out if you haven’t seen it yet.
Here’s what we’ll be eating this week.
Grilled chicken
Salad (spinach, cold chicken, glazed pecans, Craisins, bleu cheese crumbles with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing)
Hamburgers
Pizza on the Grill
Taco Salad
Fend for yourself (I have a meeting one night)
Dinner with friends
Since the kids won’t be around dinner will be pretty casual. We’re keeping it pretty simple so we’ll probably just eat when we feel like it versus trying to eat at a specific time. Hopefully the weather will be nice and we’ll be able to take some evening rides on the bike.
What’s on your menu for the week?
I’ll be linking up at I’m an Organizing Junkie

I like Fend for yourself…I think I’m going to have to start using that term around here!
Fend for yourself just seems to say it all
Thanks for stopping by.
I’m stopping by for a visit from Organizing Junkie today.
It’s another 107 degree day in Las Vegas. Man! Am I looking forward to cooler temps. Unfortunately, we don’t usually start cooling down till late September or October.
Your menu for the week sounds delicious! Oh! Happy birthday wishes for your hubby.
Our hot spell has broken and it’s wonderful
Hope you find a way to stay cool.
Thanks for stopping by.

I love seeing what everyone is making also. Thanks for stopping by. Your little guy is adorable and love the picture of the “Laker” picture from last week
The cake looks good. “Fend for yourself” made me giggle x
If you think it looks good, wait until you taste it! Thanks for stopping by.
Visiting from Meal Plan Monday. I’ve always wanted to try pizza on the grill but figured my picky crew wouldn’t go for that. The pineapple upside down cupcakes look wonderful!
The beauty of pizza on the grill is you can put anything you want on it. It’s really good and the kids may have making it outside
Thanks for stopping by.
