What's Left of Summer

Aria and I have been busy soaking up what's left of summer,

because we know that sooner than later, mommy has to go back to teaching. Aria has already been helping me in my classroom.

When we aren't working on crossing off our fun Summer To Do list, like going to the zoo,

we are helping Grandpa in the garage,

shoe shopping

and our typical days of playing outside. 

I've also decided to make dinner time a wee-bit easier around our busy household. Inspired by Running with Rachel's blog, I am going to begin a weekly meal plan. There are several sites like Emeals and saymmm.com that will help you plan, create a shopping list and a budget all in one app or website. Life just got a whole lot easier. 

Here's this week's food plan, all centered around Clean Eating: 

• Saturday: Pork chops with pineapple-cucumber salsa and rice

• Sunday: Shrimp, sausage and okra kabobs
• Monday: Steak with basil-blue cheese butter
• Tuesday: Chicken and black bean enchiladas 
• Wednesday:  Bread-loaf pizzas
• Thursday: Honey-glazed chicken with avocado topping
• Friday: Sausage, bell pepper and potato quiche 
• Saturday: Grill hamburgers

Have a great week!
