I basically scurried around the kitchen, trying to figure out what to do with that precious hour. Things did not go right- I ran out of milk, mozzarella cheese, lasagna noodles, condensed milk... the list went on until I just said- "Buck up, Branflake, and cook."
The Menu
~Caprese Salad
~Baked Brie with Honey and Almonds
~Toasted Baguette
~Bruschetta
~Green Beans with Butter and Almonds
~Lasagna with Four Cheese Sauce and Gruyere
~Banana Bread Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
~Blueberry Muffins

| The Brie exploded. But it was a delicious explosion. Trader Joe's stepped selling the wheels, you know with the rinds on it to help keep the brie in. What's up with that?! |
 |
| Time saving secret- One jar Trader Joe's marinara sauce and one jar Barilla Four Cheese Sauce. |
 |
| In the end, I had ten minutes to spare to take these photos and put up my feet. Fuzzy socks on a Sunday is an undervalued joy in life. |
After our five guests went home,
I rolled into bed with the fat and happies.

Nice job!! Your meal looks amazing! I can never get the timing right when I cook more than 2 things, so you have me impressed! (But I did make a good baked brie for a get together this weekend...so easy but looks impressive!)
After seeing all this food, I'm so hungry now... but it's close to midnight, so I need to stay away from the kitchen. haha! :)

Wow! That's quite a menu! Sunday is my favorite day. I absolutely love Sundays. And your time saving secret is great, I'll have to try it! Hope you're having a great week :)

Sunday dinners are my favorite. I usually like to try a new recipe or make something special on sundays.
That salad looks so good.
Wow I'm impressed with what you can do in jut an hour.. Looks pretty lavish to me! Caress salad is my FAVE in the summer! I like to roast a chicken on Sundays and then we'll have leftovers for salads and sandwiches throughout the week.
You are such a speedy whiz in the kitchen! Caprese salad is a favorite in our household. Love that it's so easy to whip up.

Sunday dinners are a big deal in our house. Growing up my parents made the best meals and they were required but we loved them. Now I've continued the tradition with my own little family and it's such a nice way to start a new week!
Snuggly socks :) and delicious menu!
