It’s the first day of August!
Friends, I am SO HAPPY to be back here with YOU…but I am not happy to see the first day of August.
Uggg….August, I’m mad at you.
School starts up on the 10th, vacations are over, real life is about to be back in full swing and it’s 189 degrees outside to boot.
I just cannot believe how quickly our summer flew by.
Don’t worry, I will not be transitioning to pumpkins and fall just yet…my plan is to enjoy this last month of official summer (even if my kids are at school) and then crank up fall-love in September 🙂 .
As for today, I am over here back in the office trying not to fall asleep at my desk. We landed at DFW around 10:00 PM on Saturday night after two glorious weeks in the Mediterranean, spent all day yesterday emptying suitcases, doing laundry and getting our lives back together. Today, I’m off to work, work, work. If you emailed Mix and Match Travel Agency over our two week summer break, you received an email back saying our office was officially closed and will re-open today. Be on the lookout for a return email from one of us sometime this week (make sure you check your spam/trash folder as our emails often end up there!).
In the meantime, I have your weekly Meal Plan! Five simple suppers plus TWO bonus recipes for you!
I’ve missed you guys! I’m so grateful to be back with your today. Come back tomorrow for my JULY BOOK REVIEW!!! xx
Taco Rice Bowls are such a staple over here. You can mix and match the toppings a million different ways! Always always, always a hit with my fam!
Corn & Crab Pasta because…yes, yes, yes!
Who doesn’t love an easy chicken dinner? It’s probably the most consumed meal every week in all of our households, right? Winner, winner, chicken dinner…you need to try my Crispy Lemon Chicken!
We love tacos and we love fajitas…so we really love them baked together. My Baked Chicken Fajita Tacos are the perfect supper for summer.
I love ending the week with a burger recipe! My Meatball Burgers simply cannot be beat!
If you want a totally delicious, bright and cherry dessert recipe this week, you should try my Pink Lemonade Bars!
And finish off your week with my Blackberry Bacon Biscuit Sandwiches for either breakfast, lunch or a light supper. Super easy and always a hit!
I hope you guys have a great week!
I’m off to savor all of the last minutes of summer!!! xo

I hear you! We start school on the 11th, and this year we have a senior! We have all the thoughts and emotions on top of the feeling that summer is ending way too early; plus college applications start today. I am trying to remember to breathe and enjoy all the moments.

Glad to hear you are back after your marvelous vacation. Due to COVID and asthma, I haven’t resumed traveling yet even though I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I very much want to travel. Please provide tips on how you and your family stay healthy while traveling.

I completely understand. You definitely want to go when you’re healthy enough to travel. I don’t know if I have any big tips. I certainly don’t want to pretend like I know how to be “healthy” when, I find that’s often just luck. We tested for COVID before even boarding our flight to Europe to make sure everyone was negative (just a choice we made, not required). We also tested the night before we boarded the ship (that was required). Other than that, like thankfully most days around here, we were all feeling great and no one has been ill. We do the normal things like wash our hands frequently and things like that, but honestly, I don’t think we did or didn’t do anything in particular. We were just all healthy at the time of travel, so we were able to go.
