Afternoon project

Easy, cheesy, recipes to try

Bloomin' Onion Bread

I found these super easy recipes online,

and I know my kids would love them.

Who am I kidding - me too!

Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Pepperoni Cheese Stick Roll-ups

I really must be craving bread

and cheese - huh?

The all look delish!

Free day

I decided that anything we did today,
would have to be free - spending no money.
It sounds crazy, but sometimes it's hard to do.
First we went to the library and picked up
a few books for Logan and some cookbooks
and magazines for me. We enjoyed reading,
it was a bit gloomy outside.
I made this delicious salad for lunch,
baby spinach,
micro greens, edamame, dried cranberries,
pepitas, cherry tomatoes, and israeli couscous.
It was so yummy.
Logan & Chloe had Freshetta pizza.

we mixed up a batch of
chocolate chip cookies.

Dinner will be something from
the freezer...not sure what yet,
but I have a few good options.
Later, movie night
"Pirates of the Caribbean,
on stranger tides"
with soda and popcorn.
All without spending a dime.
