I'm thinking we'll grab pizza What's on your menu tonight?

It's a lazy Saturday for me too! I took a steak out of the freezer and will grill that tonight with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I found chocolate chip cookie dough in the freezer and will be baking that at some point today. I just started a new crochet project so I'll be working on that and probably taking a nap later!

I'm thawing salmon, which will go on the grill after a marinade, some rub and maple butter glaze are applied. I may make a squash casserole and some rice.

One of those shrimp cocktail appetizers from Costco. I still haven't broken in my new stove. It is so pretty and shiney.

Lazy day here, too. (I hope ... trying not to get stuck attending a 7yo birthday party if I can avoid it) ha ha I am planning to scrapbook!! Something new and different.
Either leftovers cuz there's still plenty, or at most, maybe I'll defrost some ground beef and a bun, and make a cheeseburger.

Right now it is Copper River salmon time. You can only buy it in June where I live. Seriously, if you (general you) haven't tried it, you are missing out. I admit it is pricey but it is only once a year. Costco carries it some years also. I was there yesterday and it wasn't available in my area yet.

I do always get Alaskan. I hate the taste of farmed salmon.

Going to be another lazy, summer Saturday here too. Nobody needs to be cooking on what promises to be a hot one in my neck of the woods, so we'll be repeating last night's dinner... macaroni salad, deviled eggs, cheddar chunks, and fresh strawberries.

I am baking chicken breasts in the oven at the moment, when they are done I will cool and slice them. Then tonight I am making a large green salad with sliced chicken, strawberries, shredded parm cheese, sliced red onion, and candied pecans. I'll serve that with a homemade dressing.

I've been invited to a bbq at a friend's house. Her DH is an amazing cook/grill master. I'm really looking forward to it.

Joining the other lazy Saturday cooks. It's very warm here today and neither of us has much appetite. DH is talking about Chinese takeout and I could get on board with that.

We're going to the little cafe in our neighborhood that uses locally farmed produce and meat. I'm going to have their brisket sandwich with au jus. It's so tender and flavorful. The kids will probably order burgers. DH is still camping, so it's whatever he can prepare over a fire.

I have made a large potato & egg salad & a Ceaser salad with chicken. This will probably be dinner for the next few days with a few additional ingredients.
Enjoy your weekend.

nepean, your salad sounds amazing! I think we'll just have spaghetti with a salad with homemade dressing. Easy enough when you don't really want to cook. I will send someone to get some nice, crusty sourdough from the bakery. I thought about mozzarella garlic toast, which is so delicious. But it's super hot, and I don't want to heat up the kitchen any more than necessary. I am working, which is both good and bad. Lisa

I have been scrapbooking today, too, lucyg , and do not feel like cooking. It's above 90 degrees, too. Blech. If we could exist on ice cream, I'd suggest it. Maybe I'll make deviled eggs and a macaroni salad. Something cool, for sure. Thanks for the thread.

I'm officially jealous of your lazy Saturday plans.
This morning we took the 2 youngest dogs to the beach for a very long run and swim. Tonight we're heading to our neighbor and best friend's house for dinner with other friends, we'll be celebrating a 60th birthday. I'm on dessert duty so I made a huge platter of margarita cupcakes, a fruit salad big enough to feed an army and a platter of chocolate/almond/coconut/sea salt bark. Now it's time to finish off house cleaning so I don't have to do it tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow will be a lazier day for me. The plus side, I'll probably be sampling many glasses of margaritas tonight and I only have to stagger home from 2 doors away.

Seeing my boy in his cap and gown last night made me very proud and I did shed some tears of pride. Then today we went to the casino and I lost a whopping $4.54. I will start a gofundme so that I can feed my family. Please feel sorry for me and play your 2 inch violins. I don't spend very much when I play slots, cause I'm cheap. Even if I had lost it all it wouldn't have been much. Now I'm just exhausted. Tonight everyone went to our favorite Japanese restaurant. Tmw dh will take his mother home and I will pass out for the day and rest. Tmw night will likely be leftovers, because we will have tons and I way overdid it this past week.

Busy Saturday for me! We had a hell of a thunderstorm come rolling through around 4:00am that woke me straight out of bed and that son of a gun went on and on and on for a full two hours....rolling continual thunder....so I've been up since then. So, I headed down early to our downtown Farmers Market and picked up some tomatoes, radishes, daikon and rhubarb, met up for a breakfast burrito and coffee there with some friends and then later went "junking" with another friend through a couple small rural towns (scored on some hobnail) Since DH is still out of town until later tonight, I had a piece of garlic Naan with balsamic tomatoes on top and another serving of strawberry shortcake.....and I'm thinking about that damn chocolate covered raspberry sorbet Dove bar in the freezer.

No real recipe, but this is what I did: Box of white cake mix Replaced melted butter instead of oil Replaced the 1 1/4 cups of water with 1/4 cup tequila, juice from a couple of limes, juice from an orange and milk Frosting: 12oz tub of cream cheese 1/2 stick butter Approx 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar Juice of 1 lime Shot of tequila Zest of 3 limes
