by

kidecalscollage

School lunches are all new to me! Today was my big guy, Jacks first day of full day kindergarten. Let me tell ya, it was a rough morning but thank God that once he calmed down he had a great day at school. I am praying that tomorrow is a little easier on him now that he knows what to expect. Keep those fingers crossed for me friends! On a happier note, he really enjoyed his lunch and I really enjoyed sticking these awesome personalized school labels from Kidecals all over his things! How awesome is that surfer dude on there?!?! …

When you spend the morning at the beach, then out to lunch, then take the kids for a haircut in preparation for school starting {eek!} there just isn’t time for a big elaborate dinner! I love paninis for a quick and easy weeknight meal. Whats not to love about this Pesto Caprese Panini? Tomatoes picked from the garden {a perk to living in Jersey, we have great tomatoes}, fresh mozzarella and homemade basil {again from the garden} pesto! Can’t forget about that bread, that gorgeous crispy crunchy bread! This is one of my very favorite summer time sandwiches! …

After yet another busy weekend, filled with Jacks last soccer game of the season, family fun beach time & a very fun 4th birthday party…well dinner last night was an impromptu one. Heres a little peek at the festivities! While straightening up the house, hubs asked if I wanted to just order something for dinner and while that would have been the easier route I knew I had a fridge full of good stuff. So it was one of those open the fridge & pantry and see what we could throw together kind of meals.

This is a simple grilled cheese using a multi grain english muffin, juicy tomatoes, wonderful fresh mozzarella and creamy avocados.

Brie, Pear & Turkey Bacon Grilled Cheese

I don’t know if you can really go wrong with grilled cheese. This one is definitely a few notches up from your kids american cheese grilled cheese. The flavor of Brie is so wonderful, it is rich, creamy and melts wonderfully! This Brie, Pear & Turkey Bacon Grilled Cheese is really delicious! The perfectly melted creamy brie, the sweetness of the pear and the salty bite from the turkey bacon… its a wonderful combination! For the bread, I found a multi grain flatbread that I wanted to give a try… love it!!! This is such an awesome quick, go to meal with a bit of sophistication about it!

BBQ Turkey Sloppy Joes

BBQ Turkey Sloppy Joes

Me and the boys had a very busy morning with a fun play date with lots of friends!! The kids had a blast and its always awesome to watch little ones interact, they crack me up!!! Then it was out to meet the hubs and brother for some pizza. Tonight is zumba too, so a quick and easy dinner is exactly what I needed!!

I had picked up some ground turkey without a plan on what I was doing with it. Theres the obvious meatballs or meatloaf (go check out two of my favs, Meatloaf Marsala & Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf)… but then I thought, hmm, haven’t made sloppy joes in a very long time!  A handful of ingredients, your favorite BBQ sauce, some bread to throw it on and you’ve got a perfect messy and delicious quick weeknight meal!!! I use onions, celery and green bell peppers in this version, along with lean ground turkey and some Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce. Big hit in our house! Hope you enjoy it as well!!

2 lbs lean ground turkey

Add in the ground turkey. Using a spoon or potato masher, break up the meat as it cooks. Once the meat is cooked most of the way through go ahead and add in the bbq sauce. Lower the heat and allow to simmer for 10 minutes so the flavors have a chance to meld.

I served mine with a toasted whole grain sandwich flat.

Roast Pork, Broccoli Rabe & Provolone Panini

by

Roast Pork, Broccoli Rabe & Provolone Panini. This is one amazing sandwich! Juicy roast pork, hearty greens and sharp cheese! Perfection!
I know, it sounds amazing right?!?!? It really is a delicious sandwich though I can’t take credit for the idea… I’ve seen this one on tons of those traveling food shows. Those shows always leave the hubby and I drooling, starving and a little jealous of the people that live near some of those places! Every time we see an episode with this type of sandwich I am told that I need to make this… so I finally did! Roast Pork, Broccoli Rabe & Provolone Panini is one FANTASTIC meal!

Yes, everyone loves a good ole ham and cheese sandwich but I think we can improve it a bit- Turkey, Ham & Cheese Crescents .  I came up with this one while attempting to think of new lunch ideas for my crazy little boys…. Aren’t they adorable?!?!?! So what did I do to fancy up the traditional ham and cheese??? Well, I wrapped up turkey, ham and cheese in crescent rolls of course! I mean really, crescent rolls make everything better! No worries though, these aren’t just for the kiddos! These are perfect as a party picky too!!!! Try them out this weekend or at your next casual get together.
