Hey Laura,
Mind if Jesse and I come over for a few days? Jim works icky hours this week and I hate to cook when it’s just the two of us. Would be nice if I could just hop in the car and come see ya. The food sounds delish and I really need to get moving on menu planning, seriously. That part has never been my strong point and it costs in the food budget because of it. Help!
Come on over!! That’d be so great!
Here’s a question from the curious: you’ve mentioned a lot about how much all your guys like to eat. How MUCH do they typically eat. How many hamburgers? How many eggs do you cook for breakfast? How many grilled cheese sandwiches or cookies?

Oh boy, well if I make 1/3 pound burgers served on homemade buns, they each just eat one (with sides). If the burgers are small patties with store bought buns, they eat two or three. I usually scramble at least 10 eggs for breakfast. We go through at least an entire loaf of bread when I make grilled cheese, usually one and a half. Again, when I make them with homemade bread, it’s heartier and fills them up more…but we still go through a whole loaf. Cookies? They’d eat an entire batch in a day if I let them, but I don’t! So, one batch of cookies can last us three days or so since I let them just have two usually as a treat each day.
Hope that helps a little!
I’m sending you some encouragement this week. You sound so busy and you are such a giver:) Thanks and enjoy your busy and lovely week.
Thanks Meghan! I appreciate it so much! Your comment brought tears to my eyes!
Did I miss who won the last giveaway?
Ugh, no…I’m just behind on drawing and posting the winner. It’s on my list for today. Thanks so much for asking about it!
Do you freeze your breakfast cookies? Do you just thaw & serve if you do freeze them? Last time I made them, they made so many that we couldn’t eat them fast enough! Thanks!
Yes, if I make a double batch, I have enough to freeze. Then I just thaw and serve!
Wow! What a busy week! I’m tired just reading all you have.
Great looking menu as always! I’m going off coffee this week. I’ll have to let you know how it goes. :D
