This week I am so excited to share a new blogger, and fellow Foodie with you – Ali Roux. I have been enjoying my week browsing all of Ali’s recipes as well as her travel posts. See Ali has been living in Sweden, one of my favorite countries ever! One day I will visit the country of my ancestors, but until then reading through Ali’s posts like this one on Stockholm will have to suffice. I know you’re not here for the travel, though, so take a look instead at her recipes!
I’m trying to figure out when I can go pick berries at our local farm so I can make both this Vanilla Sauce and Berries, and this Spring Salad. I know the Apple Crumble Bake will be making it onto this week’s breakfast menu as well, and maybe even these Beet Muffins! And if none of these entice you, you HAVE to check out this Vegan 13 Bean Soup with homemade Marinated Tofu!

Does it feel like the week flies by to anyone else? I feel as if I just wrote up our 50th Weekend Bites party, but here we are again! It’s been a fun week around here. I shared one of our favorite treats – frozen FROZEN grapes – and also a morning printable sure to put a smile on anyone’s face. There are lots of projects being cooked up around here, and I can’t wait to share them with you! Some are food related, but many are home decor. I’ve got a patio table makeover coming, a homework station, and family travel map! However, I can’t get to all these projects without some good food from you all. So here’s what caught my eye and will be heading to my menu this month.

How’s your summer going? Mine is just flying by! I spent 2 hours registering the kids for their new school yesterday. I still need to bring in the pertinent info like immunization records and birth certificates, but then they will be ready to start a new year with new friends. School here starts almost a month earlier then North Dakota, so we are definitely packing in the fun while we can.

Today’s adventure was blueberry picking with some cousins. 7lbs of blueberries later, and I obviously have some baking to do.

Since my mind is on all those blueberries, what better recipes to feature than more blueberries! Enjoy.

When it comes to moving, the least favorite part (and really I don’t enjoy most of it, lol), is cleaning out the fridge. Currently I’ve got a half gallon of milk, some sour cream, lots of eggs, and condiments. Oh so many condiments! I’ve been racking my brain what to do with these things, and I just don’t know. On top of that, we still have 3 days in this house, and I don’t know what we’re gonna eat, because I refuse to shop right now – you would too.

Today my diet has consisted mostly of oatmeal butterscotch chocolate cookies, bread with jam, and some cereal. Tonight, we might toss some pasta together…or go out. So while going through your recipes from last week, I found myself seriously salivating and wishing I could just go cook something up. Ah, there will be so many good meals once we get to our new home in Indiana – until then I’ll do a little foodgawking, and YUM your recipes!

Last Sunday I woke up, and thought “Shoot! It’s Fathers Day and I forgot to get something!” Lucky for me, I was a week early, giving me plenty of time to procrastinate some more on this Fathers Day thing. Err, I mean totally check out your recipes to find the PERFECT meal to show Mark how much we love him. The kids have made some surprises for him, and I’ve told him he can start looking at a new car for him.

This weeks features are all recipes I know Mark would love to see grace our table. His love of Pork, Udon Noodles, and a serious sweet tooth, I know these would make for an extra special Fathers Day fare in our home.

FEATURES

Pork Tenderloin with Zucchini & Red Peppers

from Penney Lane

YAY it’s the weekend! School has been out for a full week, and we’ve survived…so far! There’s oh so much going on in our life right now, but the biggest may include trading in our camping trip for another move. This time it looks like we’re headed to Indiana – I’ll let you know for sure though when that happens.

Since we may have to skip our big camping trip, I still want to enjoy some S’mores with the kids. The great thing is, with so many creative minds out there, s’mores are no longer a campfire only treat. Last week I shared our Mini S’mores Pies with you, and then a few of you shared your twists on this classic with me. To keep us well balanced though, enjoy the green smoothie feature as well.

June is going to be all about camping around here. We’re planning a camping trip with Mark’s brother for end of the month, beginning of July, and I am just so stoked! Growing up with 50 acres of woods, we camped a lot in our backyard just to get out of the house, and have something to do as a family. It always brought us closer together.

This week’s features, while not specifically for camping, would make some great camp food! Enjoy!
