Hi Reader,

Happy 4th of July!! We will be celebrating with family on the Oregon coast and we're supposed to have nice weather after a couple weeks of gray and drizzle here.👏

I'm looking forward to morning beach walks with our dog since it's the only place she really likes to walk (you should see me trying to walk up our lane with her: walk a few paces, stop to pull to the side and sniff...I pull her back to walk, she sits down in the road and looks at me.😂)

I hope you are looking forward to something good, too, and that you have your meals planned using the 4th menu idea I sent last week.💜

As for this week, I thought I'd highlight some of the dinner menus from July's four-week meal plan (linked below) - these will be on our menu for sure this month!

A Week's Menu Pulled From July's Dinner Meal Plans

• ​Quick Salmon Caesar Salad*, carrots and hummus​
• Soft tacos (flour tortillas, ground turkey or beef, and taco toppings) with fresh Pico de Gallo & chips​
• ​Italian Sausage Pasta Primavera – a one-dish dinner using whatever seasonal veggies you have
• ​Rotisserie chicken, Caesar Slaw*, Artisan Bread toasts with Easy Goat Cheese Appetizer​
• ​Caesar Chicken Wraps* (using leftover rotisserie chicken!), cut vegetable tray and fresh fruit

*Make a big batch of Caesar dressing on Monday and then use it throughout the week.💡

P.S. This week in Notes From the Farmhouse I shared a deep dive into my 2-week capsule wardrobe + packing tips from our trip to England and simple things that have made life better. It’s becoming such a nice place to share all the things.😀
