I've been busy packing to go to my DD's in CT. My Mom is coming here to dog sit Stella while I'm gone. Since my flight leaves so early in the morning she's coming here tonight. I told her I'd make dinner for her. I'm making braised pork chops with cream gravy, mashed potatoes and whatever vegetable I have in the freezer. I have Rice Krispie bars for dessert. What makes this trip funny is that I am going to DD's to dogsit her dogs while they go to the shore for a week. DD was looking at the price to kennel her dogs during their vacation and saw that it was about the same as my plane ticket would cost or close enough I guess because she bought me a ticket instead. I'll get to relax at her house, they're leaving me a car so I can go to my favorite restaurants and basically just chill. I also get to see my grandsons for 2 days before they leave and two days after they get home. What's not to love about that deal? So, my Mom is dog sitting so I can dogsit What's on your menu tonight?

Lady & Sons Chicken in Wine Sauce ( I know, I know. Some of Paula Deens recipes are good if you modify them to cut calories ) Mashed Potatoes Kale Salad from Costco Not sure if Kale Salad is the best salad to go with the chicken, but we will see.

Probably nothing for me, I'm working until late - if I eat anything it will probably be a bowl of cereal.
Last night I made a barley/bean/olive salad for dh and the kids to munch on tonight

Breakfast for dinner-- something we do once a month or so. Eggs scrambled with leftover grilled veggies (onions, peppers, mushrooms, zucchini and asparagus), bacon, silver dollar pancakes, fruit salad with yogurt. Always popular with the masses.

Leftover pulled pork from the other night and whatever else I can find hiding in the fridge. We have to be out the door by 5:20 this evening so we need a quickie.

Either Chinese take out or the new Hawaiian restaurant that just opened and is a family hit.

Eating out somewhere. We have to go grocery shopping because we are leaving to go see DD and family at their lake cottage tomorrow night. When I get home I need to finish packing and make at least one of the side dishes we are suppose to take with us.

We're having cheddar and bacon burgers on bulky rolls and regular burgers for a few that don't like the mixed version. Chips on the side and well, that's it! Dh will be grilling and I'll put out the chips - works for me!

Another super hot, no a/c day here today for us. I was smart and grilled some chicken breasts I had marinated in bbq sauce at 9 this morning when it was still just under 80. We'll be at "feels like" 98 by dinner time. So we're having those as cold bbq chicken sandwiches. I also made a potato salad and chopped veggies for a green salad this morning. So we'll have all that whenever we get around to eating tonight. It just has to be tossed on plates.

I'm making a very unhealthy comfort dish for my DS and his family. Chicken Divan with rice. He loves this dish.

I don't want to cook! It's too hot. I had been going to do chicken wings but just can't bear the thought of standing over the grill that long.
I have frozen shrimp, veggies and tomatoes and might do some kind of sautee with rice or pasta.

Tonight is a fend for yourself kind of night, as my husband and youngest are at softball practice. I think I am going to make myself a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich.
