More chocolate cake

I'm not sure I'll ever find a food I like more than chocolate cake. And this one was dense, and rich, and DIVINE!!!

Lunch Boxes

3 new lunch boxes. One step closer to the first day of school. My baby will be in school ALL DAY this fall!!! That means eating lunch at school. Say it ain't so....  😢

Dinner Salad

We love doing salads for dinner in the summer. I bought this divided plate at the dollar store. I cut up a different veggie for each space (and croutons). Then I put a big bowl of lettuce on the table, and assorted dressings. That's it! Everyone makes up their salad the way they want it. Voila!

Sucker

The buttered popcorn flavored sucker. Yes or no?

4th of July

Happy Fourth oh July! We made these awesome, spiral cut got dogs. YouTube has tons of videos showing you how to spiral cut. They looked cool, were fun to eat, and honestly tasted better than a regular hotdog. Add pasta salad and Rice Krispie treats, and we were all happy. :)

Buttermilk Bars

These are my favorite. And my husbands favorite. They are definitely our weak spot. I crave them more often than I wish. Dick's Market has an awesome bakery, and these are the best things they make. Buttermilk bars. One note: the Centerville store bakery is better than the Bountiful one. Bountiful over bakes their stuff, so they aren't as moist. 

My life would be easier (but not as yummy) if I wasn't so in love with donuts. 

Bald Mountain Pizza

Pulled pork, red pepper, and Gouda pizza. Delish. 

Fathers Day

Father's Day breakfast request... Biscuits with sausage gravy, orange juice, scrambled eggs & cheese, and strawberries. It's gonna take awhile to work that one off!

Lists

Things have been stressful at our house lately. Especially morning time. My goal is to help everyone get up and moving a little faster in the morning. The more we get done in the morning, the less we have to do after school! Which means less stress and more time to play! So I need to start going to bed earlier, so I can get things crankin early in the morn!
