Quesadilla
Side: Avocado Cilantro Lime Dip
{30 minute meal, hot weather eats}
I had something else planned for dinner tonight and was making the dip as a dressing and tasted it and feel in love. You know when you make something for the first time and take that first bite and do a little dance because it's so good, that's exactly what happened. I switched the menu for this to be the star and made cheese quesadillas with sweet mini peppers and jalapeños inside.
I'm having some of my chicks with kids over next week for a play day and I'm making this with Pioneer Women Nachos, can't wait!

Leftover Clear Out
{30 minute meal, hot weather eats}
Anything that needs to be eaten from the week comes out and everyone creates their own meal with those items. If we don't have any leftovers, then we make something from pantry/fridge staples.

>> Friday >>
Grilled Chicken w/ Peanut Noodles
Side: Cucumber Sambal
{hot weather eats}
Open and restaurant and serve this! Oh my goodness, for the love of everything that is delicious, heaven in a bowl. Shall I continue, it is amazing! It's graduated to my "regular" menu items to make list. {I hope you love it as much as I do} Pretty much if you love peanut butter, spicy, noodles, and a fresh crispy cucumber you'll enjoy this.
Recipe: Mel's Kitchen Cafe || Grilled Asian Chicken with Cucumber Sambal
{Changes - I sliced my chicken into strips and made about half the chicken and noodles (only 2 of us) but made the whole recipe of marinate, sambal, and peanut sauce (see how saucy mine is, I like it like that)! I didn't add any cilantro to the sauce, the man is not a huge fan, instead I added fresh to the top of mine {from my garden of course}. Highly recommend!)
{Friday is usually Date Night, but we're saving our $20 for State Fair!!!}
