That’s 5+ hours of runnin’ around and standing. My heels and back are happy to finally be relaxin’ on the couch!
So what have I been up to?
Running errands, cooking and baking… lots of baking!
In preparation for our BBQ tomorrow afternoon, Ryan and I picked up food and other necessities for grillin’ out and feeding our friends.
When we arrived home, I got to work making the food that I could prepare ahead of time.
Chocolate chip cookies:
I have special plans for the chocolate chip cookies. Icing may or may not be involved. 😉
I also prepped some pasta salad and another appetizer, so I am hopping everything will come together easily tomorrow morning.
Our BBQ menu includes:
- BBQ pulled chicken
- Pasta salad
- Baked beans
- Buffalo cheese toasts
- Chips and guacamole
- Chips and chili dip
- Fresh veggie skewers
- Cucumber slices and ranch dip
- Triscuits and French onion dip
- Oreo balls
- Funfetti cookies
- Chocolate chip cookie sandwiches
I’m hoping I can talk Ryan into giving me a back rub tonight!
See ya in the morning!

i love those funfetti cookies with a strawberry glaze on top. I mix frozen strawberries with a ton of powdered sugar and a little lemon juice. then glaze the tops of the cookies and put them in the fridge to harden. delicious!
