Dirt Cake

I think everyone has probably seen, if not eaten, some version of this incredibly easy dessert. My kids love it and sometimes we will dress it up with gummy worms. This also works well for parties and such if made in individual plastic cups.

February 19- 25, 2017 Meal Plan

This is our basic meal plan for the week. Sometimes we will switch the days around if I forgot to set something out or put something in the crock pot. Please feel free to use this or change it around to suit your family’s needs.

I do have ‘Snacks/Desserts’ listed as well. I always try to keep a bowl of fresh fruit out on the counter or table for the kids to snack on. Sometimes I will make a special snack or treat for us to enjoy.
