Sorry for the late menu planning post this week. We’re traveling a lot in August so it’s going to be hard for me to get menus planned on Sundays but I promise I will get the menu plan up at some point – even if it’s later on Mondays.
Since we’re traveling so much the menus are going to be a bit skimpy but I’m going to give you links to some of my favorite seasonal recipes for more inspiration!
And here’s what this week is looking like…
Monday
- Homemade pizza
- Salad
- OR Brixx to use a coupon for buy one get one free pizza
Tuesday
Wednesday
- Leftovers/on your own (we both have different plans)
Thursday
Friday
More inspiration – some favorite summer recipes:
Tomato Pie
Pork Tenderloin with Peach and Tomato Compote
Fish Tacos with Baja Cream
Adobo Grilled Pork Tacos
Tomato Tarts with Goat Cheese and Basil
Sauteed Snapper (or any white fish) with Cherry Tomatoes and Olives
Blueberry Peach Crisp (something sweet!!!)

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

I recently traveled to Big Bear Lake, California for the inaugural Big Bear Peaks + Pines three-day stage race hosted by TransRockies Running. This was my third TransRockies event in 12 months (see also Colorado + Moab) and I’m here to tell you that they can do no wrong when it comes to race organization [...]

Happy weekend! Another week in the books! I got three runs in (6.5 miles, 5.5 miles, 5.5 miles) and I have a trail run planned for tomorrow. Total weekly mileage will end up around 30-35 miles depending on if I go for 13 or 17 tomorrow! I’m 16 weeks out from the Golden Ultra so [...]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]

Hi and happy May! As we roll into the first full week of a new month, I have almost a month’s worth of lunch ideas for you. It’s a great mix of sandwiches, bowls, salads and wraps. I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration for your midday meal! Open-faced chickpea salad sandwich on toasted [...]
