Last week we made our annual trip to Six Flags.
It was hot.
Thankfully, it was fun, too.
I love our mid-day trek to the shady picnic area that’s just outside the park. (I also love the money we save by eating that way!)
The night before, we’d had Asian Slaw for dinner. I packaged up the leftovers by putting cabbage in one container, dressing in another, and crunchies in a bag. We kept it in an ice-chest, combined the ingredients when it was time for lunch, and ate straight out of the containers.
(We’re fancy like that!)
We were feeling pretty smart . . . until we realized we’d forgotten to bring any forks. Thankfully, Ritz crackers do a pretty good job as Salad Scoopers.
Our menu this week is based primarily around what we received in our Bountiful Baskets pick up this week:
Monday – Grilled chicken and Zucchini Casserole (FABulous stuff!)
Tuesday – Spaghetti
Wednesday – Meatball Gyros (from Eat at Home’s Feast in 15 e-cookbook! )
Thursday – Date Night
Friday – Another Date Night (We take full advantage of Grammy taking the kiddos!)
Saturday – Grill out
Have you seen my other picnic recipes?

Love Eat at Home’s e-book- Feast in 15. So many great meals for busy moms!
Your Zucchini Casserole sounds awesome.
Can I ask where you find out about programs like bountiful baskets? I live in central Illinois and have 7 kids and we could benefit from joining something like this but I have no clue as to where to search or who or what place to call.
Bountiful baskets is actually national. You can check to see if it’s in your area. It’s kind of hard to do because the pick up spots only show up when it’s ordering time and that is only between Monday at noon and Tuesday at 10pm. And once they’re sold out for the week it no longer shows.
I’ve also heard of people searching “csa” and their area name. I found out about bountiful baskets by asking around locally.
I couldn’t get the Zucchini Casserole link to open. 🙁
