This week’s menu
Homemade Pizza in Less Than 30 Minutes
I’m trying some Make-Ahead Breakfasts this week, since we’re going to be having a more relaxed schedule near the end of the week as Christmas is just around the corner. It’s always fun to enjoy a more leisurely breakfast — and that calls for something a little extra special. I’ll let you know how the recipes turn out!
We’re also having guests for lunch twice this week, so that means we get to have a little upgrade in lunches from the typical PB&J fare two of the days. 🙂 Here’s our plan for the week:

Oatmeal, Cereal, Eggs, and/or Fruit x 4

Wow! Those chocolate peanut butter cookie bars look wonderful! Do you plan to make them somewhat healthy or are you cooking them according to the recipe? No judgment in that question (I’d definitely like them as is!), I’m just curious. I seriously love sweetened condensed milk but wondered if there’s something else to use?

I’m planning to make them as is as I happen to have a can of sweetened condensed milk in my pantry!

This week it’s all about the Pinto around here. Although that was sort of an accident.

I threatened to break out the free sample box of hamburger helper but no one believed I would actually do it. -
Yay, so glad our recipe made it to your home! That always puts a smile on my face. Blessings, Mari

The pumpkin french toast looks amazing! I’m going to have to try that recipe! Your pictures look amazing too Crystal! It looks like you are having fun with your camera and editing. I think the photography part of blogging is a ton of fun. 🙂

Thanks so much for the pizza dough receipe, I’ve been thinking of making my own and it was just the push I needed to finally go for it. As for tomato pizza sauce – do you use store bought or homemade? If store bought, which brand does your family prefer?
-
It’s new recipes and leftovers around here. The first new recipe yesterday was only okay.
Here’s my plan. -

Would love to know what frugal (or maybe not?) is on the menu for the Office Christmas Party! 🙂 I always spend more than I want in those situations!

Our food allergy menu this week also includes a great recipe for Savory Pork Medallions with Peppers & Apples. The flavors were perfectly matched and it was pretty easy to whip up. It would also be good with chicken.
