May 21-27

This week is it!  The end of the school year, so we're celebrating our 3 days of freedom before summer school begins by not cooking.  Summer is looking to be filling up with multiple activities and various things to do - starting with our "honey-do" list on the house - which includes different things like framing out the basement to power washing the house & deck and general house upkeep and maintenance. 

This week we did a lot of sale shopping (cereal for $1.89 at Sunfesh & we had coupons ... so we bought 12 boxes) since our list was very short for supplies needed.  With the sale and needed items for the week, we came in around $50 on groceries.  Thanks to Groupon, Muncharoo, Living Social, and our other coupon sites, we'll be eating fairly inexpensive when we dine out this week too.  Gotta love a good deal!

So, even though we're not cooking every night this week, we still invite you to try out a few of our recipes!  This week is actually another no-Rachael Ray week (found a new magazine, Cooking Light, which offered some healthy options for summer & thought we'd try them out).  All the recipes this week come from this magazine - and is our way of starting off the summer on a healthy note (as much as possible).

Here's what's on the menu this week:

Monday - Cafe Trio
Tuesday - Fresh Tomato-Feta Pizza*
Wednesday - Maker's Mark
Thursday - Garlic-Chipotle Chicken Tacos
Friday - Homemade Salad Night
Saturday - Cheddar Cheeseburgers with Caramelized Shallots*
Sunday - Snack Night

* Recipe included on blog
