Fall is just around the corner and I’m mentally transitioning into making soups, casseroles, and comfort foods. (And S’mores!) But not quite yet…I’ve still got a bit of summer left, and I’m going to enjoy it!
We have another busy week ahead. Cory has his first football game tomorrow night, and we’re moving Dustin back to college on Saturday. So I’ve decided to list this week’s (mostly) still summer-inspired dishes in random order, because the meals will likely revolve around work, kids, football, and when the tomatoes and peppers in the garden decide to get ripe enough to make more salsa :) Cause summer’s not over til we pick the last pepper…
Sunday Dinner:
Cheese Stuffed Shells
I always make a large batch of these-they are great re-heated! You can also substitute the Asiago cheese for extra parmesan and mozzarella.

Quick and Easy Dinner:
Rotisserie Chicken Tostadas with Black Beans and Corn
The recipe below was my inspiration, but I’ll be using rotisserie chicken instead of chicken breast to save time.

Cookout Dinner:
Hamburgers, Hot Dogs and Antipasto Skewers
Not sure I’ll get to the hamburgers and hot dogs after noshing on these:

30 Minute Meal:
Coconut Shrimp
A shrimp recipe for Dustin’s last week at home…
My Red Lobster favorite, reinvented for the home cook…I can’t wait for these!

Pinterest-inspired Meal:
Calzone with Italian Sausage and Peppers
This is just too cool!
I’ll have my husband grill some extra Italian sausage and peppers the night we have our cookout just to make this recipe. I always buy pizza dough in balls in the freezer section when I’m in a rush-they’re quick and easy, and taste great.

Enjoy the week, and stay tuned for more new recipes coming soon!
