As always, your week sounds so delicious Laura! I love all of your lunch ideas. I need to borrow some of them for sure. I get stuck in such a lunch rut, but you’ve given me great ideas.

Hi Laura,
Your menu looks really good. I might borrow it!
I tried the giant breakfast cookie recipe, soaking the 2 cups of flour in the buttermilk. The batter turned out pretty soupy. I had too add a lot more flour and oats and some peanut butter to get it to where I could make the cookies.
I just don’t know how to convert a regular recipe to incorporate soaking.
I guess I’ll try less butter next time.
Thanks for your great blog, I really enjoy it.

Your menu looks good!
I am going to try to do some of those breakfast cookies!
Also, your link for your “cheesecake” goes to your “cheese salsa dip”!! So where can I find the cheesecake recipe!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I have a feeling that week 3 of my pantry challenge is going to be the most creative/challenging!
We shall see!

Oops! Thanks Sonshine! AND, I found that if you clicked on “Cream Cheese Salsa Dip”…it would take you to my cheesecake recipe. (Sounds like SOMEBODY needed a nap yesterday!) Okay…so I fixed them…I think!
