Menu Plan Monday!

What a weekend - I didn't cook all weekend. Too many crazy birthday parties to go to. Then a playdate at a friend's house to watch the movie that our boys are performing in their next acting class session. So I was "kidded" out this weekend and had zero energy or desire to cook. I DID manage to bake two batches of cookies to take with us on Sunday for the movie. A batch of traditional Snickerdoodles and then these that I got from the back of the Heath Toffee Bits package - YUUUUMM!
