Big Brother came home from college for a few hours yesterday, to grab a winter jacket and reload on homemade cookies and Easy Mac.
For the record, Ranger Cookies still work if you forget to add the Rice Krispies. (I was wondering why the dough seemed a little different this time.)
When he and his girlfriend showed up, there was much rummaging in the refrigerator for lunch. That's when they got a look at the calendar on the front of the fridge. It's where I've been keeping my menu plan.
"Maybe we could eat our dinners here every night," Big Brother's girlfriend sighed. Best compliment EVER!
There's nothing like Dorm Food to make your kids appreciate Mom's Home Cooking.
Beginning of the month menu plan is here.

Thurs 13: Spaghetti
Fri 14: Pizza
