146.6...Birthday Cake Bars

For the barbecue we hosted on Tuesday, I made Birthday Cake Bars. It’s basically what happens when a sugar cookie bar and funfetti cake get married and have a baby. Pure sweet goodness. I really do like bar recipes because you just pour everything into a pan and bake it. Much easier than cookies!

My son had flag football practice last night so by the time we got home it was late. My husband wasn’t home so I just put some leftover Creamy Cole Slaw and Mexican Bean Salad in a bowl and called it a day.

Breakfast this morning:

I took the kids to school and went to Sculpt class. I ran errands, stopping at Luna Grill for my favorite Greek Salad.

Tonight we will be chilling at home watching the first regular season football game! Yes!

What football team are you cheering for this year?
