Our weekend ended on a high note with a great snack, lots of “to-do’s” checked off the list but more importantly, family time at it’s best. We had Friday night with friends at the game & then, Saturday was really special. We spent the whole day together and there was not one fight! We did projects around the house, cooked together, laughed, listened to music then ended the night with “mama sauce & pasta” and a movie.
Sunday, after a great start to the day, I finished up 3 DIY projects. With all of that, before I knew it, everyone was screaming for a snack. So, how about some REAL cheese sticks? I whipped these up in no time along with a little dipping sauce. It was a great finish to a wonderful weekend.
