What's on your menu?
Have a wonderfully relaxing and fun Saturday.

I had considered grilling tonight, but it is way too hot! So, I'm thawing a pound of ground beef and I will make a ziti casserole. I'm hoping to make a peach pie, but it's so hot!

Dinner tonight was entrecôte, pommes noisettes, a green salad, fried onions and bearnaise (from the store!!). Dessert for the girls (DD and her friend, DS isn't home) was ice cream with sprinkles, chocolate sauce and I think I saw them add some candy to the mix. That's too much sugar, even for me.

First time our family has been home together for dinner since the middle of June! Since it's Saturday, I'm going out on a limb here and guessing . . . pizza, lol.

I am now the Mom of a teenage son - yikes! To celebrate he wants to go to his favorite Mexican restaurant (which doesn't seem that exciting because we go there probably ever other week, but what do I know). Dessert will be the family birthday tradition of chocolate cake from the local bakery.

The pizza place messed up our order last night, and we ended up with an entire extra pizza. Ds will be at grad parties, so dh and I will eat that. (We had ordered one pizza, with each half different. They made the whole thing one way, then, to fix it, made the correct pizza. I maintain that to fix it, they should have made the whole second pizza like the second half should have been. Especially since we ended up with one and a half pizzas of the type I wanted.)

It s stinking hot here so I have a pasta salad already made for dinner. DH is out fishing so if he brings home tuna I might be persuaded to grill a piece.

I'm making tomato soup because I have some tomatoes that need to be used up. DD is making grilled cheese to go along with the soup.

We're also having pizza, but homemade personal pizzas on the grill. I cooked up some turkey Italian sausage yesterday to use on them and I'll add mushrooms, artichoke hearts, green olives and fresh mozzarella to mine. DH will stick with the sausage and probably add some caramelized onions to his pizza.

Have a good time at the concert, scrapmaven! Tried another Instant Pot method with success so we're having potato salad, sliced turkey, and baked beans. Pears or fresh peaches for dessert.

scrapmaven Hope you enjoy the concert!! I have no idea what's for dinner. We're going out of town tomorrow to start shopping for school and plan on doing big Costco shopping.. so with that in mind, I used up lots of the veggies we had in the fridge to make a stir fry for lunch. Dh took those leftovers to work for dinner. I think I will let the boys pick.. so it will probably be grilled cheese or some type of breakfast type food. We shall see

I'm switching up our Sunday night usual and our Saturday night usual. Tonight it's eggs, bacon and pancakes. Tomorrow night will be our grill night. I like living on the edge like that. 😮

I had a plan! We went grocery shopping this morning and I bought the stuff to make baked macaroni and cheese, as dd requested. We had a birthday party at 2:00 and they served steak tips, chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs and potato, macaroni and fruit salads. No one is hungry now so I'll make the baked macaroni and cheese tomorrow and if anyone needs food tonight they can have cereal or make a sandwich.

We've been moving all day so we ordered pizza. I hate pizza but I'll suck it up because I'm starving and too tired to go to the store.

Tonight I'm going to make this local, organic ravioli we bought at the farmers market. For the sauce, I'm going to make a lemon white bean sauce with spices and garlic. I may make some vegetables to toss in as well or I'll throw some peas into the bean sauce.

We had late lunch/early dinner at the in-laws. I brought a fruit salad and we had meatloaf, potatoes, green salad and apple pie. I mostly stuck to the salads. We might pick at leftovers later, but for now we are both pretty stuffed.

DD and her boyfriend are here, so I wanted to make them a nice dinner. Also my sister is out of town, so I'll be feeding my BIL.
I have a pot roast going in the Ninja with carrots and onions. I'll make mashed potatoes and steam some broccoli when it's time to eat. DD says she's going to make a salad (because she knows I can't be bothered).
We still have half a peach cream pie but it's two days old now, so that needs to be finished off tonight, too.

We always cook big on Saturday so it lasts a couple of days (or more). DH smoked a turkey and I made a Tex-Mex potato salad and a peach cobbler. We joked that we are just dreaming of fall and cooler temps.
So glad I invested in a smoker for DH for his birthday. He is using the heck out of it.

lucyg and KelleeM, I didn't "like" your posts because I liked them. Actually, they make me sad. But, I would have never known because I haven't been back to that thread since there were only about 4 replies on page 1.

It's too freakin' hot to cook here, so we had deli meat sandwiches and chips. And I'm sad about carblover.
