What a beautiful weekend we had here in the Pacific Northwest, just a perfect holiday. We spent the day at one of our favorite trails with the kids at Big Four Mountain to the ice caves.

Big brother stayed up pretty late, so we watched fireworks from our second floor balcony we have off our guest room. It has a pretty nice view of some fireworks shows near and far. I hope you enjoyed as much family, fun, relaxation and FOOD as we did. Oy. I'm still feeling a bit stuffed from the Fourth. I even tried a patriotic fruit pizza with the kids to accompany our brats and potato salad.

Not bad, but I think I'd go for a sugar cookie crust next time around. Also not bad, but I don't know if we'd make again, is the Spinach and Artichoke Chicken dish from last week. Sometimes things sound a bit too good to be true - spinach artichoke dip, over chicken! YUM!

But it was just a bit too much. Yes, we cook a lot of comfort food, yet I just felt like I'd eaten a brick. Even some tomatoes thrown in to cut the richness didn't really help.
Hopefully this week's new recipes will be winners...
- Monday - Pizza
- Tuesday - Chicken Waldorf Salad (new one from Delish)
- Wednesday - Thai Ground Beef with Stir Fry Veggies and Brown Rice (always in rotation Cooking Light recipe)
- Thursday - Buffalo Chicken Tacos with Blue Cheese Slaw (from Mountain Mama Cooks)

- Saturday - Spaghetti with Meat Sauce (trying Eat Live Run's recipe with ground turkey)
- Sunday - Brown Rice Burrito Bowls with Crock Pot Chicken Mole and Fixins (Mole from Honey, Ghee and Me)
