📅 Food Holidays
We celebrate a couple of fun food holidays this week. They're silly little holidays but it gives us an opportunity to make some memories and have some fun!
- Celebrate National Key Lime Pie Day on the 26th with a Key Lime Pie Margarita!
💭 Things to know
- Put a couple of pounds of chicken breast in the slow cooker on Friday. You'll have enough chicken for the tacos plus the King Ranch chicken, and chicken spaghetti.
- Add some bbq sauce to any leftover chicken and use it to make bbq sandwiches for lunch.
- Brown a couple of pounds of ground beef to carry over for both the cowboy casserole and the beef pot pie.
- I know I'm weird but I love the leftover cucumber salad made into sandwiches. Just layer the cucumbers between slices of white bread and spoon on the dressing.
- Cinnamon gelato goes really really well with that apple cake!
