Oh man!...... it's gonna be 90 degrees here again this coming week and that is not what my palate or wallet want to hear! We have so enjoyed not having the air on for the past few weeks and being able to use the oven without worry as to the effect that its use would have on the temperature in our house.
Sigh....
Anyways, thanks for taking the time to stop by and take a look this week!

I love your centerpiece! It is warm here in PA as well and it is hard for me to get into decorating for fall when it is so warm put.
ReplyDeleteGreat menu plan. Cube Steak is one of my family favorites! Have a great week!
Stopped over from MPM - those enchiladas sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday indeed! I'll take some of that cake off your hands. :)
ReplyDeleteI like how you included the "to do" portion each day. There's nothing worse than realizing around lunchtime that you forgot to defrost tonight's dinner!
ReplyDeleteThe cake looks delicious.It's been awhile since I had Peanut Butter icing Chocolate Cake.
ReplyDeleteLove the centerpiece!
Well, it's not 90 degrees here, but it's close. I am really enjoying the opportunity to grill outside, though. It's so easy!
ReplyDeleteLooking for some good meal ideas. Happy Menu planning. Have a great week.
