It’s Saturday and I think a simple lunch is suitable for our guests coming today.
I made turkey and cheese on little buns from Walmart
Ham and cheese on croissants from Aldi
Mustard and mayonnaise for each person to add as desired
A bowl of chips- Poppables and 2 kinds of Sun Chips
Fresh cantaloupe, strawberries and red grapes
Homemade cookies
Beverages will be iced tea, lemonade and water.
I have both the coffee maker and tea maker loaded and ready to turn on if anyone wants a hot beverage afterward.
Paper plates, cups, utensils and napkins will also be used - they are only used when we’re hosting a group
That’s it
The cookies are a recipe that I’ve been making since 2012. They stir up quickly, no mixer needed.
I make as the recipe says but I omit the raisins, use extra cinnamon and usually use vegetable oil and plain Greek yogurt. I know those sound odd for cookies but if you read the recipe, you’ll see.

I made these cookies earlier this week and took them to my parents when my brother and 5 grands were there. Everyone enjoyed them. One grandson said “Grandma, I know what job you should get when you get a job, you should be a chef”.
I have zero plans to look for a job but I do think I’ll bake cookies for my grandchildren more often.
It looks like a great lunch and the best part is it looks to be easy! have a great lunch and weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love an easy and hearty meal. That was a great compliment!
ReplyDeleteWhat time is lunch? I think you should be a chef too!!!!! Too cute.
ReplyDeleteI read this without my glasses, then got them to type my reply. I thought your grandson wanted you to get a job as an elf (Like a Keebler Cookie Elf)
ReplyDeleteThe meal looks great.
Ha ha - I have no plans to get a job as elf of any kind either 😂
DeleteNice lunch and I'm hungry so let me know what time we eat ;-) It was so cute what your grandson said to you. Clearly you are speaking to his stomach with love and food.
ReplyDeleteYour lunch sounds great! =)

ReplyDeleteIn response to your comment on my blog....
I know what you mean Rhonda. Blogging has really changed. I've been reading blogs before you could find them easily on the internet!
I dislike blogs with lots of pop-ups and ads that cover content.
Be blessed dearie!
