Yesterday we grilled burgers…bacon, cheese, lettuce, onion, and “secret sauce” with chips and watermelon.
Today, baked potato bar with broccoli. Tomorrow through Saturday–no idea! But I always get such great ideas from everyone’s menu 🙂
sometimes you don’t need to have an excuse – it’s okay to slack! 😉
