- #CatchmyGrit on my Instagram throughout the week to capture the fun, the food and the family table reactions (good and bad). C'est la vie, I selfy-ishly light it UP in pics and videos to keep truckin!
- New to this series? Here's the STORY behind my #SettheTable2017 food adventures with Pure Barre Kildeer.
- My go to's for meal planning organization (the grocery list app features are rad): 1. Jamie's Ultimate Recipes App 2. Sarah's My New Roots Recipe App 3. Rachael Ray's Week in a Day Cookbook.
Week 30's Game Plan:
I'll be in sunny Jamaica for a family wedding! I have never been to Jamaica or to a destination wedding before, so I am just thrilled to be traveling. Welcome to the family Diane! Looking forward to sharing our Jamaican eating adventures and a fantastic local Caribbean recipe for next week's blog! Cheers to THAT!

Wrap it UP with last week's action:
I did not follow my meal plan whatsoever this week. Sigh. I'll be trying Rachel's recipes again when I get back from vaca. Promise.
Thank you Summer for getting in my way.
Nachos under salad and avocado? Yes please.
My niece is the very best sous chef. Taking off the parley leaves was quite a job! Thanks girl!
Katie whipped up Alice Water's Sorrel Cream Sauce (The Art of Simple Food II) for the fresh Cod. It was pure heaven. I will be planting sorrel again next growing season for my kitchen garden!
One of the best plates I've ever put together.
I don't wanna have to say good bye! You are my heart of Tafiti Katie! Diamond Lake is for sisters!!!
And speaking of sisters... This lovely Lacey family crew (5 sisters!) stopped by for a stay on the lake before they head to their new home in San Diego this week. We had a huge family table of waffles to fuel our impromptu lake adventures yesterday (gosh darn I forgot to take a pic!). Lots of reminiscing... back to each other's wedding parties, babies, homes... Where has time gone!? Looking forward to visiting you in California soon, to making more memories and to gathering together again at your new family table!
