This week is busy! We are going to 2 vacation Bible schools. One is in the morning and the other is in the evening. I also have a meeting at work on Wednesday afternoon, the Wee One has an activity at the local library on Thursday afternoon, and the Imaginative One has an activity at the local library on Friday afternoon.
Monday - chicken tenderloins marinated in soy and Italian dressing, rice, and veggie
Tuesday - smoked sausage, roasted potatoes, and veggie
Wednesday - spaghetti, garlic bread, salad
Thursday - quesidillas and veggies
Friday - breakfast for dinner
Saturday - homemade pizza, salad
The Imaginative One is always saying I'm hungry and asking me what he can eat. As soon as I walk through the door, my two boys ask me when dinner is and what I'm going to cook. Sometimes I hit homeruns with my dinners. While other times, I hit fouls. Join me in the journey of feeding two growing boys and one grown up boy (aka hubby).

French Toast Mini Muffins
This weekend we went on a weekend getaway. The hotel we were going to be staying at didn't provide a complimentary breakfast. We could have gone to a restaurant for breakfast but I decided it would be better if I made something for us to eat. I had made these before but had lost the recipe. As I was going through things in my house, I found the recipe and decided these would be perfect.
When the Imaginative One tasted them, he fell in love with them. He kept complimenting the on how good they tasted. He also told me not to lose the recipe again.
