Meal Plan Monday: July 12, 2010

Disclosure: Lawry’s provided me with the free product, information, and gift pack through MyBlogSpark. The opinions and flavor description are my own. There is nothing we love more than grilling hamburgers with Lawry’s Seasoning Salt. My grandfather use to do this with all the burgers he made and the smell of a hamburger flavored with Lawry’s cooking on the grill just sends me straight down memory lane. So when I found out that Lawry’s had some new marinades I was anxious to give them a try. And then the mentioned the Tuscan Sun-Dried Tomato Marinade! Seriously? Lawry’s AND sun-dried tomatoes? Yes please! We tried this marinade with chicken and it was sssssoooo good. I loved the mix of flavors. I loved that the chicken was still nice and juicy and flavorful after the chicken had come off the grill. And I love how easy dinner preparation was! This is not the only marinade available either. It is just one of the many that are in their summer grilling line-up. For a listing of all the marinades and even some great summer recipes, visit Lawry’s. And you have a chance to win a Lawry’s prize package! See details at the bottom of this post.

Menu Plan Monday

My husband was gone many evenings this week so it wasn’t a typical week for us. I don’t know about you but I just don’t find much enjoyment in cooking just for myself. I like there to be someone else to savor it with me. And the two year old likes to eat but he is no connoisseur of food. So we eat a lot of leftovers and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Monday – BLT sandwiches, my summer favorite. Tuesday – Hubby was out playing volleyball so we went to Chick-Fil-A Family night to have some fun and beat the heat of this hot week. Wednesday – We were all feeling a bit *off* so we had to make last minute decision to stay away from the healthy people at House Church and grabbed some Chipotle as a family. Now Chipotle isn’t my idea of a good meal when one has had an upset stomach but strangely enough it hit the spot! Thursday – frozen pizza – yep, even we have frozen pizza Friday – leftover pork roast from the freezer Saturday – Lunch – Spaghetti Warehouse

Dinner – Took a picnic dinner to the pool of Summer Chicken Salad, Buffalo Chicken Wraps, chips, grapes and pretzels.

Sunday – Lunch – Leftovers

Dinner – Lawry’s Tuscan Sun-Dried Tomato Marinade on chicken,
