Last week we were so busy that I didn't get a chance to post much of anything, and we had to recover from my sister-in-law's out-of-town wedding, so it's a little late, but I'm back with some yummy recipes this week, including some of my summer-time favorites on the grill!
Since I find it easier to plan ahead, than try to play catch-up, I will be posting the meal ideas part-way though the week (I'm shooting for having it done by Tuesday night, so you know might have a better idea of what you want to get at Rainbow on Double Daze on Wednesday), with the idea that you can do your grocery shopping for the next week. But of course, if you see something you just have to try then why wait until next week? Cook it up tonight for dinner!
Keep in mind though, that I do assume that you will have some of the staples stock-piled on hand. When you're starting off you may not have some of these things stock-piled, but as you go you will!
A "*" denotes items I have on hand that I have gotten for free.

The pitas and the lettuce wraps both sound good! How many steaks are in the No Name?
I just checked No Name's website, and there are four 6-ounce steaks or six 4-ounce steaks. I personally like the Petites (the 4-oz.), but that's just me!
