Recipe Box, Grillin’ & Chillin’ Vacation Week Menu

the Painted Apron

8 years ago

Restaurants are impossibly crowded at dinner time on the coast, and with little ones it isn’t really an option to eat out at night. Sometimes we’ll boat to lunch, but we really prefer to just grill and chill..

The disadvantage of being a lifestyle blogger with a family of foodies, is that they have high expectations!

That’s okay, the guys did most of the cooking and everyone helped clean up. Even the men know their way around a grocery store, so we take turns shopping. We had a week packed with good food, but we didn’t spend a lot of time in the kitchen

Everything is easy to prepare, old favorites with a few new ones that will post soon

The recipes highlighted in gold bold are new ones that I will be sharing soon

Sunday

Cooks Night Off! 😴

One thing that keeps dinner simple is to stock the freezer with goodies from Omaha Steaks– not only do they have a variety of meats, they have sides, appetizers and desserts too

We love their burgers and bacon wrapped filets. It’s nice to know there’s something in the freezer to throw on the grill 🍔 We tried the pork and bacon burgers last week, but they weren’t as good as the regular beef burgers and we couldn’t taste and bacon. HH & I also recently had the Chicken Fried Chicken with white gravy and that was really good!

Watch their website for specials and free shipping deals and stock up
