Yes last week was hotter! But I'm over it.
We did spaghetti with sauce from the freezer, grilled cheese sandwiches and, my favorite from the week- pretzel chicken tenders over Cobb salad.
Tonight homemade pizza which we're doing in the oven against my better judgement.
Egg roll in a bowl Salsa Verde chicken with Spanish rice and corn Pork tenderloin with rice pilaf and salad

Any ideas for travelable snacks? We do a tailgateesque (get there early, kids play yard games, etc) outing with my in-laws on for a town's fireworks. My SIL is bringing pizza this year and I'm bringing snacks. So far, I have the tube popsicles (doubling as my ice packs in the coolers) and watermelon. I'm not sure what else I want to make/buy to take.

Or do they have to be cold? They don't have to be cold, but they do need to be prepped early since we also have a birthday party that afternoon. H mentioned making a smoked queso since he can toss it in the smoker on a timer and it can cook while we're at the party.

I'm not sure what else I want to make/buy to take. When we tailgate for football we always have chips, fruit and veggie trays and cookies in addition to the main dish. I would just go easy and not worry about actually making too much.

I'm not sure what else I want to make/buy to take. if it's going to be hot, then freeze grapes and they are a quick cool down snack. or your watermelon but maybe do a whole fruit salad starting with your watermelon and add frozen fruit mix add apples strawberries whatever fruit looks good, and keep it in what would usually be an insulated drink container, scoop out into bowls and provide tooth picks for eating lol.

My husband came back from Costco with 4 pork loins, which is basically my least favorite thing to eat. But we're eating it tonight.

angelashly, thanks! My husband is a KILLER cook so whatever he does with it will be great, probably. It's just not my fave. I'll definitely share that one with him though because I love those flavors for sure.
