We're just having frozen pizza here tonight. We've had a crazy week, have another crazy one coming up and have to drive 2 hours tomorrow to the in laws. We all slept in until 10 or later today and just had cereal and fruit then. At 2:30 we were finally hungry again and I'd just done up 2 lbs of bacon (which I hardly ever cook) to have some for my cheesy bacon dip I have to bring tomorrow and had made extra to keep on hand. So with that and the hard boiled eggs for tonights egg coloring session staring me in the face I offered egg mcmuffins to everyone and we all pigged out having those with egg, cheese and bacon.
So now noone's hungry, it's an hour and a half until dinnertime and they asked 'why can't we just have pizza and nachos around 7' so it looks like it will be a casual junk food night tonight.

Hadn't thought about dinner yet... I'm doing a major spring cleaning today, and my BF is working on fixing the house up a bit. He has replaced a couple tiles in the kitchen that were broken, and now he's getting ready to lay new tile in the bathroom. So we'll probably hit the local pub for dinner tonight, they have great bbq sandwiches and of course BEER 
LOL!

Skillet Lasagna with some garlic bread, and I'm thinking I might throw together some "Supreme" Chocolate Brownies - (brownie mix in an 8x8 pan with 2 Hershey Supreme chocolate bars in the middle - half the brownie batter mix (made according to box), then the two bars, then the other half- back as directed plus a few minutes.) SINFUL and super easy!! :love:

We had a big day here. We all slept in, and then had homemade banana bread and OJ for breakfast. Then we headed down to the Air Zoo (very cool place! Check it out: Air Zoo :: The Total Flight Experience :: Kalamazoo, Michigan) stopping first for a quick lunch at the place of DS's choosing. (McD's....:yuck We spent the whole afternoon playing in/around planes, shuttles, air balloons, etc...
Then, made a family trip to Menards to check out Porch furniture, and bought a porch swing...then a trip to Costco, because we had to buy more of the best strawberries we've EVER had!
To make a short story long...we ended up having dinner at the deli at Costco's - for the 2nd time this week!
I had a slice of combo pizza, with a 1/2 lemonade, 1/2 Sprite drink, and then we all shared a Vanilla/Chocolate Twist frozen yogurt for dessert.
Hmmm, banana bread for breakfast, McD's for lunch, and Costco Pizza and frozen yogurt for Dinner....yep, sounds like a well-balanced food day to me!
