I am sick of making the same old, same old. I really need to mix our dinner menu plan. This usually happens as the Canadian winter to get old and it seems like our grill is buried under a couple of feet of snow.

This week I plan to do a cold meal just to change things up. Make a few salads and maybe just have cold cuts that I got from my parents fridge since they were leaving for Florida last week.
