James was in charge of smoking the country ribs. Next up, I peeled, sliced, salted, and eventually, roasted eggplant to assemble the Baked Eggplant which I covered with foil for later in the week.
In addition, I put chicken breasts in a zipper bag with some store bought marinade. I whipped up a batch of Coleslaw, made Chive Deviled Eggs with Sunshine and threw together some cut cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil for caprese salad. While the stove was working, I continued dinner preparations for Sunday. One will be used to make the Baked Eggplant, the other will go in the freezer for a quick dinner on another evening. Once those were on the stove, I chopped onion and minced garlic for a double batch of sauce.
(The extras will go in a bowl in the refrigerator for a quick breakfast or after school snack.) While that was defrosting, I put 18 eggs on the stove to boil for Chive Deviled Eggs. I defrosted venison sausage to make Super Easy Venison Tomato Sauce. Saturday–smoked venison roast Sunday Meal Planning and PreparationsĪfter church, I got right to business.

(I used my free meal planner.) Sunday morning, before church, I did the grocery shopping for the week. Saturday, I began by planning out the meals for the week based on our schedules and what I thought I could do on Sunday.
#MEAL PLANNER PRO CAPRESE PASTA SALAD FULL#
This last weekend was our first weekend “off.” I took advantage and did a full on Sunday meal planning and prep for the week. And then the first weekend, James had a craft fair for The Boxery. We we at our cabin right up until Labor Day. The pasta salad was a huge hit, and definitely something I’ll have to make again for the hubs.Hey Friends, if you’re like our family, getting back into the school routine has been a little rough. Caprese salad sounded delish, and to make it into more of a meal I decided to toss it all with some pasta. I had bushels and bushels of basil (I still do), so more pesto was in order. Like inviting all the ladies over for girls’ night! Which is exactly what I did when I made this delicious Pesto Caprese Pasta Salad. When Nick’s gone, I need to find extra reasons to cook.
I hardly ever cook when he’s gone! I hate to admit it, but my meals usually consist of egg sandwiches, cheese & crackers, or cereal when Nick isn’t home. Hehe, I’m kind of a wimp.Īnyways, I’m glad to have my hubby back because now I can start cooking up a storm for him. Maybe 100 yards? Less even? I tried to take videos, but I kept getting too scared (those things are LOUD). The best part of the day was getting to see the jets getting launched off the boat and then coming back and landing. We had a really long (14 hour) day out at sea, and by the end of the day I could almost find my way around some of the boat. Though there were 6 guys sharing it, size-wise it wasn’t any more cramped than a college dorm room. Although I have to say, his “state room” (aka bedroom) was bigger than I was expecting. It was pretty cool to get to see his home away from home. Heyo! Last week was pretty exciting– I got my hubby back after he’d been gone for a month-long training out in the middle of the ocean.Īnd I got to go to work with him for the day on an aircraft carrier (the one he’d been on for the last month). It’s perfect as a summer side dish or light meal! This Pesto Caprese Pasta Salad features ripe summer tomatoes, whole wheat pasta and fresh mozzarella, all tossed in a homemade pesto sauce.
