ON THE MENU WEEK OF JULY 2ND
Happy July! It’s hard to believe we are this far into summer! Our garden can tell though! It’s hot and humid and everything in it is growing at a riotous speed! We are seeing the first of our early producing tomatoes and we are gathering in cukes in basket fulls! We like to eat out of the garden so you just might see me early in the morning or late in the evening picking weeds and lots of produce! Here’s what’s on the menu this week…
MONDAY
I think pasta and sundried tomatoes are a match made in heaven! We will eat the leftovers for lunches. Oh, YUM!
TUESDAY
I’m in hog heaven since our Whole Foods opened this week. We even have a fishmonger! Yes, I hear it is called whole paycheck but all I know is I LOVE the quality of their food!

TREAT OF THE WEEK
This is one of my favorite foodie posts from my early days as a blogger. I’ve revamped the recipe and made it a whole lot easier! I think this just might be the perfect summer dessert!
Hope you have a scrumptious week!
Hi Yvonne, I love your menus! FYI, the Hasselback chicken link takes me to the cherry pie recipe. I will see if I can find the recipe on your site (?)
Hi Lori, fixed now!
Okay I am trying to do weight watchers but those burgers are killer!!
Cindy, I’m lifetime and I say go ahead. Use your weekly points and enjoy yourself. Even half a burger is better than none!
I LOVE burgers! So I won’t give them up. I use half a bun. Give that a try
Another week of great recipes to try! Thanks!
Hi,
Sure would like that Hasselback Chicken recipe, but when I click on it, I keep getting the cherry pie in jars. Can you fix it?
Fixed Susan. Thanks for letting me know.
Everything looks delicious. Happy 4th of July !!
Thank you for all the wonderful things you share . What kind of wood floors go you have?
The BLT chopped salad link is taking me to the southwest salad. Can you fix? Thanks.
Thanks for fixing it Yvonne! Sounds wonderful.
I’ve made the Fajita Chicken recipe with a Mexican Chopped Salad and it was delish! And Cindy, both recipes are great for WW members. I’ve also made the Margarita Asparagus Stuffed Chicken by the same person and it was great and only 3 sp!
Yvonne, thank you so much for adding menus for those of us trying to watch what we eat! I’ve gotten some great recipes from your menus.
