My sister’s kids came to visit with my mom last week and we really had a lot of fun. My kids tried to talk them into moving from Seattle to Iowa, and I think everyone liked the idea! They left this morning, though, and I’m not going to lie to you – I’m liking that it’s a little bit quieter around here.

But it was so nice having my mom here to share the cooking burden. She’s a great cook and loves to help out {read take over} in the kitchen. I never object! We had great food last week with a bunch of produce they brought from their big garden. And the best news, I have leftovers from their garden that we will continue to eat this week – which when combined with what I have in my garden means I won’t have to buy too much!

So, here’s what we’re eating. It’s a short week because we’ll be camping with the other side of the family Saturday-Monday.

Breakfasts ~

• Yogurt & berries
• Eggs & sausage
• Egg / Bagel sandwiches
• Toast & fruit

Lunches ~

• Beans & rice
• Salad & hard-boiled eggs
• PB & J
• Cheese sandwiches
• Leftovers

Dinners ~ Yay! Kids’ ballgames are done so dinner is easier again.

• Tacos & fixins
• Mushroom raviolis with sauteed veggies {from my dad’s garden}
• Fried potatoes {from my dad’s garden}, pork chops, sauteed cauliflower
• PF Chang’s lettuce wraps
• Whole wheat pasta with kale & fontina
• Black Bean Salad with Tomatoes & Avocados

Are you eating anything special for the 4th of July? I’d love to hear what’s on your menu!
