Watermelon and Avocados

Happy Summer Solstice!
I'll be celebrating (after Matti goes to bed) by contemplating all the things I want to achieve and accomplish during the rest of 2013 (health and simplifying)  and what things I want to leave behind (negativity and sloth).  I took a step towards simplicity and cleaned out my fridge and freezer throwing away all of the "unknowns" and the "why'd I put that in the freezer anyways" things.  I'm already reaping the benefits since I found a tupperware of oreo cookie crumbs and am having a naughty little snack right now.  Yay!

Anyways, with summer in full swing now, I could really care less what I'm wearing!  A swimsuit, a pair of shorts and a breezy white hippie dress have been my staples lately.  One thing that IS on my mind however (when is it not?) is FOOD!  All I want to eat is watermelon and avocados and goat cheese pizza all the live long day!

Here is my Menu plan for the last days of sunny June.

Sunday- Jalapeno Goat Cheese Pizza, Avocado Pea Salad with Ranch
Monday- Miso Soup, Avocado Cucumber Brown Rice Sushi Rolls and sesame         green salad
Tuesday- Zucchini (from my garden!) and goat cheese omelet and a spinach smoothie
Wednesday- Taco Salad with guacamole and crispy roasted black beans
Thursday- Chopped Salad with hard boiled eggs (one of my favorite summer foods!) and homemade brown mustard and lemon vinaigrette
Friday- Repeat of Sunday!   Jalapeno Goat Cheese Pizza, Avocado Pea Salad with Ranch
Saturday- Repeat of Wednesday!  Taco Salad with guacamole and crispy roasted black beans
Sunday- Crockpot Pinto Beans with avocado and lime and Vegan Cornbread

I will, of course, be eating copious amounts of watermelon for snacks as it's on sale this week for 6lb for $.99!  Avocados are on sale for 6 for $.99 so that's why we have SO much of it in the menu plan for this week.

What are your favorite summer foods and meals?

Hope you're having a yummy summer!
