It's Saturday morning of Week Three.
Saturday is the only day of the week I don't cook something for breakfast. I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons - and cereal goes so well with that! But today the kids and I are catching up on Netflix shows that are premiering their new seasons soon while we cuddle up together with cereal on the couch.
On tonight's menu is ham fried rice and egg rolls. I love fried rice - the combination of warm scrambled egg, soy sauce, ham and peas is serious comfort food. I've made egg rolls from scratch before which are really good but a lot of work. Today, I am just heating up pre-prepared egg rolls and serving them with sweet and sour sauce along with the ham fried rice.
For dessert, Fruity Pebbles Treats are on the menu. These are basically Rice Krispie treats made with Fruity Pebbles instead of Rice Krispies. I love these even better than the Rice Krispie version. Fruity Pebbles are so good alone but paired with buttery melted marshmallows, they make a great, fun and very colorful dessert.
