Back on track!

My computer died on me...so that's my excuse for no menus for the past two weeks. We also spent an AWESOME week in Florida, so that's my other excuse. I like to plan one extra fun vacation for my family every year. It has been one of my favorite traditions. The best thing about it is the unity and togetherness I feel as a family. The boys all get along, they play together, we laugh together, and we just REALLY enjoy being a family! No outside friends, no outside pressures, just us. This year we visited the new Harry Potter section of Islands of Adventure Universal. Hands down, the best ride I have been on in my life! So fun! We loved the Airboat ride through the everglades, eating gator nuggets, and playing at the pool. The weather was great and we all came home a bit sun kissed! Now back to real life...
Monday: Chicken and Dumplings (Try making your own Dumplings)
Tuesday: Baked Southwest Eggrolls with Creamy Chipotle Dipping Sauce, Garden Salad
Wednesday: Perfect Grilled Burgers, Fruit salad, and Chips
Thursday: Calzones, Mixed Green Salad
Friday: BBQ Grilled Chicken, Orzo with Parmesan and Basil, Pineapple Spears

Oh, BTW, all of the lettuce, arugula, spinach and herbs are harvestable from my garden! I love this time of year! YUM!
