Bento: Delicious Dinner
Technically this isn’t a bento but it was too good of a meal not to post. This was our dinner last Sunday: a very simple mac and cheese, some seared peas with lemon and mint and of course, sweet potato fries (with my special blend of spicy ground peppers on top for an extra exciting kick!)
Menu: Firefly Weekend
I over booked the weekend again so I’m not 100% sure I will be able to do all of this cooking on Sunday but I’m going to try (the house also looks on the edge of a disaster zone). I miss the energy tabs that were probably mostly placebo : ( Maybe they could help. At least I’ll be tired for good reasons!

Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is my go to chocolate chip cookie recipe. It’s no nonsense and they cookies come out light and fluffy with just a little bit of chew to them. Best enjoyed while they’re still a bit warm (you can pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds the next day to get that just out of the oven feel!)
