Scheri's Week of 6/30

I can't believe it is already July! I know everyone is crazy busy with vacationing, but we are actually going to be home almost all month! YAY!!! That hasn't happened for a while, so I'm excited. We have a fun menu this week. A few repeats, but goodies. Here we go:

Monday:
Green salad w/ tomatoes & red bell peppers
Spicy Carrot & Dhal soup

Tuesday:
Grilled stuffed bell peppers - Cook 1 cup wild rice. Meanwhile, saute carrots, zucchini, onion, and garlic. Add the cooked rice. Mix in some feta cheese (I like the sundried tomato variety). Stuff mixture into red bell peppers and cook on grill until pepper is soft.

Wednesday:
Dinner is up in the air. I think Harsha might meet me somewhere. I have a hair appt at 2:30 (the cut was last week and the color this week) and he has a meeting at 6:30, so there won't be much time... Regardless, we'll plan on eating out.

Thursday:
Balsamic Bean Dip w/ pita bread & veggies (For the recipe - I use 1tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp sun dried tomato pesto and about 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar)
Gazpacho (For this recipe, I use spicy V8 and use chili sauce rather than hot pepper sauce)

Friday:
Veggie Burgers w/ grilled onion, guac, lettuce & tomato
Grilled Corn on the cob
Grilled Veggies: sweet potatoes, red bell peppers, carrots & zucchini. I cook them on foil on the grill w/ a tomato sauce - Spicy V8, Chili sauce, soy, garlic & ginger

Saturday:
Ella's princess slumber party! We'll be making a variety of finger sandwiches:
Cucumber Mint Tea Sandwiches
Carrot Raisin Tea Sandwiches
Banana Honey Tea Sandwiches (bananas, honey, squeeze lemon juice on sweet bread - probably raisin)
Pineapple Tea Sandwiches
Blueberry Scones
Devonshire Cream
Variety of fruits & veggies
And of course, the tea.

And for dessert, the girls will be having chocolate fondue with cheesecake, pound cake, pineapple, banana, strawberry, and whatever other fruit I can think up :-) It is going to be a blast!!!
