Menu for July 7, 2013 through July 13, 2013

Hope you had a great 4th of July yesterday!  Are you getting to enjoy a long weekend?  Both Mark and I are working today, but we enjoyed spending our Thursday together!

It is starting to be blueberry season and I can't wait to go picking.  Last weekend I picked raspberries and they were delicious, though blueberries are still my absolute favorite.  

raspberries!

I took the picture below when we went blueberry picking last summer.  I think we picked something like 30 pounds of blueberries.  And in case you're wondering if I made jam, pies, muffins, etc., etc.... nope!  Just ate them all plain (or on cereal)... and of course Mark  helped. :)

blueberries!

For dinners this week we are still trying to avoid using the oven.  Are you excited to try that Saag Paneer I posted about earlier this week?  It is so good!  I can't wait to have it again.   Also on the menu are the Pearled Barley Salad with Cherries and Arugula (great to eat when it's hot because you can eat it cold or at room temperature), Sweet Potato and Black Bean Quesadillas and Veggie Burgers.  Enjoy!
