Menu May 31 - June 7

School's finally out!  Last week was pretty busy with lots of end of the year activities.  My daughter, K,  has become quite the baker and she made no less than 3 cakes for our end-of-the picnic.  Hopefully she'll keep us in snacks this summer.
We visited a friend's ranch for branding Saturday.  My son, D, is not quite big enough to wrestle the calves, yet, but enjoyed watching the action from a safe distance.  The kids helped milk cows and collect eggs and later, enjoyed ice cream made from them. 
We stayed in town for the holiday weekend and spent time with lots of friends.  Now that things have settled down I'm looking forward to working in the garden and deep cleaning the house before summer school starts.  Since we'll be home for breakfast and lunch, I'm including those options with my menu.
Breakfast: Raspberry Scones, Apple Cider Steel Cut Oatmeal, Fruit and Yogurt, Blueberry Muffins
Lunch and Snacks: Chopped Salmon Salad, Cheese Crisps, Sandwiches, Apple Snack Cake, Strawberry and Mango Smoothies
Dinners
Monday: Barbecue Chicken, Potato Salad, Corn Pudding
Tuesday: Flank Steak with Shiitakes, Rice, Pot Stickers
Thursday: Jasmine Rice Stuffed Peppers, Salad (I didn't fix these last week)
Friday: Baja Fish Tacos, Beans and Rice
Saturday: Steak Kebabs with Soy-Ginger Glaze, Potatoes Grilled in Foil Packets, Salad
Sunday: Cheeseburgers, Pasta Salad, Strawberry Gelato

  1. Thanks for the link to the Dutch oven recipes :) I didn't get a chance to do the game hens in mine. We got rained out bigtime! Lucky for us a cabin was available so we were able to stay dry but didn't have a way to heat coals for the oven. Maybe next trip and thanks again :)
