Summer Weeknight Meal

T and I usually plan out our meals for the week on Sunday, before we go grocery shopping. This makes our shopping more efficient and easier on weeknights because we know what we are going to have each night... and let's be honest, it keeps us from getting fast food on the way home from work!

Tonight we had planned to have a classic summer meal: crab cakes, roasted okra, pan-fried silver queen corn, and heirloom tomato/basil/mozzarella salad. Crab cakes were on special at The Fresh Market, corn/okra/tomatoes from the farmer's market, basil from the back yard and mozzarella from Trader Joe's. An easy summer meal with little effort to prep and make on a busy night!

T & I were both looking forward to this meal together on a quiet and rainy Monday night but unfortunately, T had to stay really late at work. Always one to to try turn lemons into lemonade, I ate really quickly after making dinner and then packed T's up and brought him a to-go plate at work. I took a little pic before he ate... (because that's what people with blogs do? because no post should be picture-less? because I'm proud of it? so many reasons to ponder, haha)

Summer meals are the best - grilled leftovers are always better and the produce tastes better, summer meals are just overall my favorites to make!
