Weekly Menu: June 30 – July 6, 2013

Since we’re just returning from Tahoe this week, we’re going to keep it simple once again with a few quick and easy stables.  My family Tortellini soup that I grew up eating and one of our all-time favorites…taco night!  Of course 4th of July is this week as well which means parking ourselves down at Chrissy Field nice and early to stake our claim to a grill and enjoying one of my favorite holidays in the sun.  Hopefully.  We do live in San Francisco, after all…and the 4th is notoriously known for being our foggiest and windiest days of the year, but fingers crossed it’s not this year.  When it comes to the 4th, I’m a traditionalist…so no fancy recipes.  Good ole’ cheeseburgers, bratwursts, potato salad, chips and dip and American beer and wine. For dessert I do like to do something a bit festive (yet still traditional) with red, white and blue…so we’ll see what I come up with this year!  Enjoy a fabulous day with family, friends, good food and great fireworks!

Since, once again, this week’s menu is a bit sparse due to all of the summer fun here is a link to past menus and recipes to help you make the most of your dinners this week.
