Hi Reader,

Happy July 4th weekend! We're spending it with family at the Oregon Coast - I hope you've been able to enjoy some of the festivities and the long weekend.

Because we're out of town, I'm sending a shorter newsletter today with summery dinner ideas from the month's menu as well as what's new on the blog (the Good Things List includes EIGHT books this month - you can tell I spent a lot of June in the garden listening to audiobooks!).

4 Weeks of Dinner Menus for July

In the monthly dinner ideas menus you'll always find a main dish as well as ideas for simple sides that help you get those veggies in. Some weeks also include cook-once-eat-twice type recipes (actually just a fancy way of saying using up leftovers, ha!) and I feature a dessert of the month that leans into whatever season it is.

July's menu includes simple meals like:

• Grilled sausages (I always serve with tomato chutney - yum) and Greek Style Pasta Salad with Green Beans & Tomatoes​
• ​Steak Salad with Creamy Garlic-Pepper Dressing (you will want to make this dressing all.the.time.) and grilled bread
• A cook-once-eat-twice menu of slow cooker Rotisserie chicken, Caesar Slaw, Artisan Bread followed by Caesar Chicken Wraps (using leftover rotisserie chicken and Caesar dressing) with fresh fruit.

And many more - I hope you check it out here and fill in your menu to make the month go that much more smoothly!
