Italian sausages, peppers and onions. Blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream (for DH - he has a strong sweet tooth).

Chicken KaBobs. I have never acquired the skill of putting the meat and veg on the same skewer and getting them evenly cooked. My cherry tomatoes fall apart before the meat is cooked. So I begin with the longer cooking veg, then the meat skewers and then the short cooking veg. Each has it's own marinade or dressing. It's a little more work running back and forth but the results are good.

Steak fajitas and fresh Pico de gallo.

BBQ ribs and chicken, potato salad, green salad, corn on the cob, watermelon and brownies for dessert. Today's beverage of choice is beer. Hubby is taking a nap at the moment and as soon as he gets up we'll start the grill. Can't wait!

Lobster and Steamer Clams! Blueberry ice cream later this evening. Loving spending a few days in Maine!

Just had great BBQ ribs off the pit and oven baked potatoes. Now I could use a nap. Thanks to my wonderful hubby for standing up to the terrible heat out there to BBQ the ribs.

WE did cheeseburgers, corn, and salads.

I made stuffed peppers. Hadn't had them in a while and they were pretty good.

We will be grilling a steak in a couple of hours. On the side will be macaroni salad, fresh zucchini, rolls and for dessert, homemade chocolate chip cookies.

Prime quality beef short ribs, and corn on the cob, are both in the smoker (cherry & red oak hunks). Will have some other veggies, potatoes and fresh bread. Dessert is homemade cookies & cream ice cream. It is actually typical-day fare, nothing special for the holiday. :)

Went to a Greek chain restaurant with dd's bf's family. I love, love Greek salad and ordered it again, but the portion was so much smaller than it used to be; I ate a lot of bread!

For dinner? I went out with a friend to a beer joint that had a pizza food truck out front. Weird location in Lexington, in a industrial section of the city. Pizza was expensive and would have been good if the crust wasn't black. Had an ALE-8 with my pizza top (LOL) since I don't drink beer and that was the only other thing available. My friend had beer. I was still hungry afterwards since I couldn't eat the crust, so we went to Whole Foods deli to have dessert but I got a small bowl of potato salad instead of dessert. Still a little hungry so I made a few pork gyoza.

Blue Apron: Chicken topped with glazed fresh peaches with hone and basil on a bed of wilted spinach with mashed sweet potatoes cooked in coconut powder. Delicious!

We're busy backing for a move to a rental at the end of the month (but we will be out of town for two weeks between now and the move) while our new home is being completed, so Blue Apron has been wonderful -- fresh produce, no shopping or decisions involved and all recipes use the same utensils and vessels. Just need a non stick skillet, a medium pot a couple of bowls, chopping block, cookie sheet Zester, knives, spoons and a spatula. Don't need all for every recipe, but with those basics you can cook any if their recipes. We've already packed up much of the kitchen.

Shrimp, salad, medium rare ahi tuna steak, garlic mashed potatoes, French green beans, macadamia brownie with hot raspberry sauce with vanilla ice cream. (In a restaurant)

We had a neighborhood cookout with barbecue, chicken, plus hot dogs for those who didn't want BBQ. I took loaded baked potato salad and deviled eggs. Then we went to my niece's house for another get-together. Mostly family and some of their friends with a lot of small children. Took a key lime pie there. There were hamburgers and dogs but I wasn't even that hungry. But their homemade lemon sorbet was wonderful.

Potluck at work with various fresh fruit, buffalo mac'n'cheese, buffalo dip & tortilla chips, pasta salad, potato salad, green salad, hot dogs/buns/condiments, cupcakes & ice cream, etc. Everyone was tired from yesterday so those that cooked did well!

Fresh bluefish on the grill, salad, sweet potato French fries, and the most decadent chocolate truffle brownie from a local gourmet deli for dessert. Delicious! I think bluefish is my very favorite fish - so moist and flavorful. And when it was caught this morning and brought straight from the beach to the fish shop, you know it's fresh!

Rigatoni with meat sauce, garlic bread, Caesar salad, fruit and berries. Palacinke (crepes) and strawberry shortcake for dessert. SIL's birthday, at their weekend home at the beach. 22 for dinner.

Meat loaf, baked potatoes and green beans.

Fresh fruit for dessert.

Salad with grilled chicken, some edamame hummus with corn chips. I bought some beautiful heirloom tomatoes at Trader Joe's, but I forgot to cut them. Guess what we are having tomorrow?
