It may not officially be summer, but it’s definitely summer here. I’m going to keep on grilling and using my slow cooker this week whenever I can. I also didn’t stick to our menu 100% last week so I’ll carry over a couple items. My husband’s aunt gave us a lot of huge, delicious avocadoes from her tree so I’m implementing them into meals wherever I can. 
We’re also eating up some of the scrumptious English muffin bread I made. So darn good.
Here’s what’s on our menu this week:

Your menu looks great! I’ve been loving having avocado’s in our menu too! Do you have a recipe Danielle for your Asian BBQ chicken?
I sure do, I’ll send it your way! I was headed your way to see your menu, funny!
Everything looks great! Do you have a recipe for your pork chops with mushroom sauce? I’m always looking for new ways to cook pork chops since I can usually find good deals on them!
We are loving that it is summer fruit and grilling season as well! We bought a quart of strawberries at our farmer’s market last weekend and half of it was gone before we even got out of the market! haha!

Mmm, I could eat fresh berries each day of my life
I don’t have my pork chop recipe written down yet, but for speed’s sake here’s a link to a recipe from Miki at Miki’s Kitchen with a mushroom sauce you might enjoy! She’s a delight. http://heymikiheymiki.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/pork-chops-potatoes-in-mushroom-sauce/
Thanks so much!
Your menu looks so good, as usual
I will have to try the crockpot french dip one of these days…I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!
Thanks, Erin! We really enjoyed it. I posted the recipe this morning if you’re interested. Easy and flavorful!
