Menu Plan–July 14

Whoot!  A whole week at home.  I am so excited.  Vacation was fun, but having Frog Prince travel and a conference directly following it was a lot to do in a short amount of time.  Needless to say, I am really looking forward to a week at home – so I can get some work done. 

This last week I attended a conference focused on undergraduate biology education research.  The conference was invigorating, energizing and gave me lots of ideas for teaching this fall.  Plus, it was so wonderful to see my colleagues in person!  I even got spotted of Twitter:

Our recipe highlight from our busy week went to Chicken & Brown Rice Bake.  We love this dinner, and this past week I ended up making it on Saturday night for Sunday’s dinner.  I’ve been trying to take Sunday’s off from the kitchen, and it’s been so nice. 

We also got our first garden produce this week!  We used the zucchini & summer squash in a yummy chicken sauté.
