Veggie Wraps and the Weekly Menu

Easy to make and lovely to serve, these little bites of goodness will be a big hit at any end-of-summer gathering or as an addition to lunchboxes as the kids return to school and life gets busier and more complicated again...



If you enjoy those veggie pizzas made with crescent dough, you will enjoy these little bites that are just as tasty and less work.  

I had originally made these for our Back to School Treats event.  Unfortunately, the event was canceled due to low participation.  I still want to share the recipe though because it is so versatile.  It can certainly go into lunchboxes, but it is equally good as an appetizer, a home lunch, a potluck dish, a picnic treat, or anytime you want a delicious, healthy snack.

If these are the responses you get when trying to plan your meals, this wrap will work.  Fill it with any fresh vegetables you have in your refrigerator, and when they ask what it is, say "I don't know".

Speaking of meal plans, it is time for our Weekly Menu.  I don't always stick to the plan, but it helps me to make one before grocery shopping.  I then know what I have and what I need. A list also keeps me from compulsive buying, and that is always a good thing.

Tomorrow, Amy is having the family over for my Birthday dinner.  Well, part of the family.  We celebrated Pierre's and my birthdays last weekend, as they are going out of town this weekend.  Chuck, of course, does not live locally.  Jessica, Julien, and the Angel Face are going on vacation, so we are getting together next Friday night for dinner.  Sunday, we are celebrating Kirsten's mom's 90th birthday.
