Suddenly Saturday

Spring has sprung and summer is not far behind....well, maybe in the Pacific Northwest.


One of my time saving and beat the heat tricks for summer is to make salads on Sunday and add a entre each day during the week. It doesn't cover the entire work week, but it gets us through to mid week anyway. That way I don't have to cook in the hot kitchen. The entre can be BBQ d outside.
