Monday- Pork Lo Mein-NEW recipe
Tuesday-Leftovers

Thursday-Roast, crescent rolls

Dean told me Post this....

Yes, you read the title correct.  I made some cookies last night.  After they came out of the oven, he ate almost a dozen by himself (in his defense they are small bite size cookies).  He said, "Honey you have got to 'blog' about these."  So here they are......
