Saturday-Sunday

• In Chattanooga

June 28-July 7

This is the week that John will be on his own while I am visiting my sweet sister-in-law, nephews, and niece in Connecticut.

I planned my menus accordingly--there's no way he'll eat well if I expect him to make stuffed chicken with grilled asparagus and a vinegarette glaze! Ha.

Some of these things are actually things I made ahead of time that make great leftovers, and some of them are freezer food that I wrote down to remind him that it's there for him to eat. He told me he'd eat salad if it was there (as opposed to he won't go to the trouble of cooking veggies), so that's why it's pretty much the only vegetable. And, surprise surprise, some of the recipes are actually simple enough for him to cook by himself. :)
