WEEKLY MENU 08.09.20

It’s that time of the year again – August means finding ways to stay cool while making all the fabulous meals on the Weekly Menu 08.09.20.

Keeping cool this summer means reverting back to the good old days. Around Erieland, outdoor pools aren’t super prevalent – we have the awesome Peninsula on Lake Erie to go to when we want to get our swim on. (Affiliate links follow – see disclaimer page for details.) We’re fans of getting wet in the backyard – whether it’s putting the baby in a bucket or getting out the water balloons and super soakers.

A water balloon war with teams is the perfect way to cool down during this stay at home summer season. After you get your soak on, you need a yummy meal like grilled pizza to eat while you’re standing up, dripping.

Weekly Menu 08.09.20 is full of two things.

Well, three, actually. Grilled goodness. Crock Pot one pot meals. And delicious food. Eating easy is our go to always, but grilling means fewer pans to clear up, and the slow cooker means not heating up the kitchen. A plus on the crock pot is we get to come home to a fragrant, enticing meal.

On Sunday, we’re deconstructing and grilling Chicken Cordon Blue. All that means is that the chicken is stuffed with good ham and cheese, then grilled, sans breading. We serve it with a creamy, light cheese sauce or Honey Mustard. The sauce will be a game time decision. It’s so easy and so delicious it makes a perfect Sunday dinner. Plus, anything served with mashed potatoes is a winner in my book.

Baby Boy is the star chef on Tuesday~

The meal is practically perfect for our sausage machine: One Pan (yes!) Cheesy Sausage and Pasta. I am in! We’ll add a green salad to this easy dinner.

We’re taking meatballs to Mexico on Thursday. This super easy recipe will be coming up soon. Because who doesn’t like meatballs?
