Menu Plan Monday July 27th

cukesI am breaking with tradition and actually getting my menu plan up in a timely fashion.  It’s amazing all of the things I decide to do when I know I’m supposed to be filing insurance claims.  I’ve already cleaned the kitchen and have hazelnut meringues in the oven as I type, which are essentially using Heather’s yummy recipe...meringue

This week’s host is Esther of Lilac Kitchen, and her ingredient is cucumber.  I love cukes, but they don’t love me.  I am growing some, though (see above!).  These are a bunch smaller than the first ones.  We were having so much rain that the first few I got were HUGE–8-9 inches long and really thick, too.   I’ll have to water more often if I want the big ones again!
