On the meal plan this week is grilled steak, salmon burgers, homemade pizza and more! Now that the kids are home for the summer and the heat is kicking in, I'll be making less in the oven and more on the grill.
Do you make any changes in your cooking during the summer months?

I made a departure from the meal plan today...gasp! Spinach enchiladas sounded really good to me today so I axed the salmon burgers and in a moment of wild meal plan abandon...made enchiladas. I already had everything at home so there was no additional cost and everyone was just as happy. Actually, our 10 year old, who does not like salmon, was much happier. They were muy bien!
