Every year millions of us crazy Canucks (no not the LOSING hockey team, it's a slang for Canadians) anticipate the arrival of Summer. May long weekend is traditionally a weekend for beers, friends, lakes, sunburns and well CAMPING! We are lucky this year to break away a few days early and extend our may long into more of a week than a weekend. So Thursday to Sunday are camping meals, and for the record next week's plan will be posted Monday not Sunday!
Enjoy your summer kickoff my friends!

Cut tomatoes, chicken, mozzarella into small bite size pieces
Grill the chicken the night before…OR grill and cool in fridge

Oh, summer, how we love you up here in Canada.
Mighty fine recipes there! Wow! When I have a kitchen again, I'm going to be serving up some of these!
I have been following the kitchen reno Cynthia, you are insane! I don't know if I could do it!
Oh your menus sound fabulous!! Happy May 2-4 :)
OH.
MY.
GOSH!
I am so hungry! I haven't cooked supper in three days. My husband has decided it's BBQ time and has cooked for the past 3 nights in a row. Either he's being exceptionally helpful...or he thinks I'm mad at him. Either way, I haven't had to make supper in 3 nights! That is absolutely SHOCKING!!!
BTW, I've got an award for you on my blog: http://lifeonmanitoulin.blogspot.com/2010/05/awww.html
