Miz Helen, I'm adding the pinto bean soup to our menu this week! Thank you for sharing it! I hope your weather cools off soon. That kind of heat is brutal. My parents are in Houston and have been sharing with me how serious it is down there. Take care and stay cool!
ReplyDeleteMiz Helen, I hope it cools off in Texas. This summer has been so unbearable in so many states. I hope to join you for FPT soon! xo,
ReplyDeleteYum another delicious week at your house. I love grilled flank steak. I always marinate mine in a little lime juice, canola oil, garlic and cilantro. I hope things cool off for you this week.
ReplyDeleteYou make your menus sound so good simply because of the wonderful way you have with words. I love my visits here. Hope it cools off some for you.
ReplyDeleteYour menus are the best! I love each and every day. but the spring rolls and bean soup caught my attention! All is sooooo yummy. Thanks for inspiring all of us ON THE MENU MONDAY! Just a question, where do you get your culinary inspiration... your menus are fabulous!

ReplyDeleteI so admire you ladies that can plan a whole week ahead! That is a real gift! Your entire menu sounds wonderful!!!! Would love those veggie spring rols! Have a great week and I hope to God it cools off there in Tx. for you all, I feel so bad for you and when I want to complain about our heat, I just think of you. XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteYour menus look terrific! I love your website...I'm going to look around for a while, :)
ReplyDeleteEverything sounds delicious. Such organization! I really should do better at meal planning rather than approaching it with my usual whim.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a week of delicious food at your home in Texas! I spotted the recipe for your apricot pie below - how scrumptious.
