Menu Plan Monday: June 14
13Jun2010 Filed under: Menu Plan Monday Author: twobarefeet
Welcoming the summer weather in a big way this week. I tend to gravitate towards lighter fare in the summer ( like Asian!) and the grill. Chili is a classic and suitNtie is a chili fanatic. The week closes with Father’s Day and I will be celebrating my awesome husband with some of his favorite foods. I don’t get to cook very fancy too often, but when I have the opportunity I take it and run with it!
14. Monday – asian chicken potstickers and brown rice
15. Tuesday – hot dogs for the kids, chili dogs for us (making a big batch of chili this day for the freezer) and an antipasto pasta salad (recipe to come on that one)
16. Wednesday – FFY Buffet, I am working this night
17. Thursday – pizza night, since Sunday is a holiday. 
I’m hosting a pizza social for my mom’s club, so we’ll have a variety.
18. Friday – chili for suitNtie and probably chicken nuggets for the kids. I am working out of state tonight.
19. Saturday – grilled chicken and rosemary skewers
20. Sunday – Happy Father’s Day! Surf and Turf of lobster tail and filet, some of suitNtie’s favorite foods. I’ll also make warm chocolate raspberry cakes for dessert. For more great menu ideas, check out Laura’s!

About this blog
It all started as a New Year's resolution for 2009. I wanted to start trying menu planning, a concept that I had stumbled across while looking for dinner ideas online. I dove into it with energy and unlike most diets, saw success immediately. The success only made me more interested in how I could improve, what new recipes I could find, etc. I started using my family blog for menu planning posts and it kind of started to take over. So, I decided to give my culinary fumblings their own home- and mygrandcentralkitchen.com was born.
Why "my grand central kitchen?" Well, I have 2 kids that are about 20 months apart. I have a husband who works from home. Cooking is a hobby for me. So you could say that aside from the playroom, the kitchen is the busiest room in my house and usually looks it. ;) It feels a bit like Grand Central Station, especially between 4 and 7 pm.
I hope that this blog gives me even more inspiration for my own home and the ability to inspire others in the kitchen, as well. I'll be posting not just menu planning and recipe links, but also interesting things I find online, things on my wishlist and recommendations. And who knows where it might go from there. :)
I certainly hope you enjoy the ride.

What is FFY Buffet?
Down here in South Alabama, I am always looking for meals that don’t make my kitchen hot! It is hot enough without stove and oven running for a few hours. LOL!
I have a pretty easy menu this week, too since I have 3 giveaways going at my blog and tons of housework to catch up on. Who has time to cook?
