And for dinner: chicken salad (on bread for us and with crackers for Will), sliced cheese and melon. This is pretty much a standard chicken salad recipe... nothing fancy shmancy and not nearly as good as Aunt Cathy's. But it sounded good and tasted good too! Plus it makes a lot and has been an easy thing to pack for my lunches this week.
2. Sunday: I like to make peanut butter banana sammies on the panini grill since toasty bread is about the only way Will eats bread, i.e. grilled cheese. So we had these for lunch.
And Sophie had an almond butter banana sammie. I've been lacking in vegetable availability this week. Oops. Not that I was lazy to offer, but I just didn't have much in the fridge this week besides green beans (we like 'em raw) and bell pepper. It is amazing the sheer quantity of produce we go through.
For dinner on Sunday, we had fettucine alfredo with chicken and broccoli. Sorry, no picture of this one. I basically follow the recipe I linked and then saute some chicken pieces to add. This is a favorite of Craig's but neither of the kids cared for it. Plus it has just been so dang hot! This is WAY too heavy of a dish for warm weather but I hadn't made it in so long and it sounded good. Ah, well.3. Monday: leftovers. Went running this night.
4. Tuesday: tomato bisque and grilled cheese with sliced nectarines. The tomato bisque recipe is at the bottom of this post. Remember it was the winner of my "tomato soup challenge"? LOL It's soooo good. Also, you'll notice I cheated and used the same pictures from that post instead of taking new ones. :)
5-7. Wednesday-Friday: I'll be honest: all three of these meals made lots of leftovers, which we will probably be eating up the rest of the week and I'll pack them for lunches. If we get bored of it, I'll probably make English muffin pizzas or breakfast for dinner.Looking forward to a long holiday weekend with lots of yummy food!! Happy eating!

SO funny! We had the EXACT same dinner the other night of chicken salad sandwiches... all the way down to the cheese! We had a picnic at the pool. Mmm.....and with all the produce you go through you REALLY need to do a garden next year!
