Melon Salsa

Check me out over at At Work, At Play or At Home All Day talking about girlie stuff:-)
Here, I am doing more menu planning with I'm an Organizing Junkie and finding more deals at Pick N Save for $5 Dinners .

The saga with my mom continues this week and so, I need to keep it really, really simple. At Pick N Save, they are having a Melon Mania:-) All their melons are on sale 2 for $6 (normally 3.99/each). I picked some up and I am pairing it with grilled fish this week.

Here is what I am serving:
Monday: Semi-Homemade Spaghetti (Cleaning/Doctor Appointment)

Tuesday: Leftover Buffet (Doctor Appointment/Playdate/Swim Class)

Wednesday: Grilled Fish with Melon Salsa (Doctor Appointment) (See Recipe Below)

Thursday: Chicken and Pasta (Swim Class)

Friday: Eat Out
