We are back from a week in Virginia Beach where we visited family and my daughter competed in a dance competition. It was an exciting week and full of good summer food. We had hot dogs, pulled pork, smoked brisket, pulled pork, tuna subs, crab legs, pulled pork, burgers. Full on vacation food. Have you ever gotten to a point where you just wanted the Elaine "Big Salad"?
Here's what we are having for dinner this week:
Sunday: Banana Splits for National Ice Cream Day
Yes, we are the coolest parents ever. We were tired, it was easy and we had a "holiday" to give us an excuse. Our splits had bananas, Neapolitan ice cream, whipped cream, peanuts, chocolate sauce, strawberry sauce, pineapple from my pineapple plant and a cherry on top.
Monday: Chicken Milanese with Spring Greens and Rice Pilaf
I love making this recipe because it is kid friendly without being too kiddy. I do put ranch on the girls salads rather than the lemon dressing. Pair it with a box of Near East Rice Pilaf (Any flavor will do. We are having the one with almonds)
Make it even faster by buying a bottle of Lemon Vinaigrette.

Tuesday: Tacos with Black Beans
The walking tacos we had the other week added black beans to the ground beef. I'm going to replicate that with our tacos. We all really liked it. Not sure how black beans in the tacos and on the side will go but we have been loving them over regular refried beans lately. Have you ever bought refried black beans? Delicious!
Wednesday: Spaghetti and Salad
Have you ever had a spaghetti sandwich? I totally got the craving while typing this. I think I will pass on the Texas toast garlic bread. You just take a slice of sandwich bread, butter the bread, add the spaghetti and fold in half.
Thursday: Grilled Cheese with Bacon and Tomato Soup
My favorite sandwich from Doumar's where we visited last week.
Friday: Utah State Dinner - Pastrami Burger, Funeral Potatoes and Strawberry Jello Pretzel Salad
Saturday: We will be at birthday party.
Have a great week!
