"best cooker ever!"

Is what mckay told me I am over lunch today. What did I make him that made me so deserving of this high praise? This simple, easy, kid-friendly lunch:

Tortilla chips
orange slices
chocolate milk

and the 1st place selection??

ham and cheese roll-ups

Here's the recipe:

2 slices of ham
2 slices of cheese

Lay the cheese at the edge of the ham and roll the ham up. Repeat with second piece of ham and cheese. Serves 1.

Seriously. The things impress kids!

Macaroni salad

This recipe comes from my SIL Lisa's family. They served it at my neice's blessing luncheon this summer and we all LOVED it. I found the recipe she had sent me and decided to make it for a quick, easy dinner. I was going to do some grilled chicken with it but never got that far. We did toast instead. The kids liked it and it was a simple, fast meal or side dish.
