What's For Dinner? Week 2

Did some baking this week! I've been having sweets withdrawals in my packed lunches for work 'cause I can't very well pack ice cream and that's all we had in our house. So I whipped up some of Aunt Cathy's chocolate chip oatmeal cookies on Friday night and then Will and I made zucchini bread on Sunday night. Can you see the size of that zucchini he's cleaning? I got two that size from a co-worker's garden and I'm fired up to make and freeze a bunch more loaves.
Will has become quite adept at using the stand mixer and helping me bake. This night he measured the dry ingredients, dumped everything in, turned the mixer on and off and even cracked an egg (with help).

Menu-wise, this has been a fairly boring week. Sorry to disappoint.

1) Saturday - this was a highlight! We had friends over for a get-together and my sister-in-law made homemade pizzas. We also had a strawberry and poppy-seed salad, watermelon, my cookies and some ice cream. Mmm!

2) Sunday - BLT's, more melon, raw veggies.

3) Monday - homemade mac 'n cheese (it looks less soupy after it bakes), broccoli, melon. (We bought a lot of melon recently - cantaloupe and watermelon.)

I divide the mac 'n cheese into two portions - one for dinner, one for the freezer.

4) Tuesday - big green salads with grilled chicken strips, white beans, veggies and homemade dressing. We had zucchini bread on the side.

5) Wednesday - burger on the grill, another batch of that asparagus and red pepper salad with thyme dressing.

6) Thursday - leftovers.

7) Friday - don't know yet. :) That's rare! It makes me uncomfortable till I figure it out.
