fAST fOOD fRIDAY

Not sure what we are doing for dinner tonight.

I know what you're thinking...slacker. And you're right. I'm off the ball. If you're an everyday EFC reader, you'd know my posts are a day behind.

What can I say...I've been busy. Can't really say with what? A couple of projects, a baby who has decided naps are beneath her, a pile of laundry. (Glorious life I lead, huh? Don't even ask about my shower schedule...)

No dinner for us tonight, or you either. But here are some treats I found on the side of a cake mix box we had in the cabinet. (Rex was particularly 'active' Wednesday and we pulled this out and made it to keep him busy for, I dunno, 20 minutes. Of course, we then followed it with a 'dance party' while they were in the oven. Not sure about your kids, but mine need more than a few minutes to work off their energy sometimes.)

I was pleasantly surprised with how easy they were to do and how tasty they were the next morning. (Ah, did I say that out loud...yes, I ate them for breakfast...shame on me...)
