Happy weekend to you!

I hope that you are enjoying these waning days of summer. We’ve had beautiful weather this week, but it’s about to get hot again! Walking around the zoo in a light sweatshirt in the middle of the afternoon was pure bliss for me. Wishing you a wonderful couple of days ahead doing something you enjoy!

This would make great lunches >> Noodle-Free Chicken Pad Thai

My husband and kids love Arby’s; going to surprise them one day with these roast beef and cheddar sliders.

Such a cozy dish for fall and winter >> Chicken meatballs with peppers and orzo

I’m going to give these easy homemade granola bars a try for the kids’ school snacks.

Have a delicious weekend!
