Good afternoon everyone!
Family Day has been great so far. 
Ben and I headed over to my parent’s house for lunch around 12:00. Check out what they had laying around – Strawberry Filled Candies! Do you remember these? They’re hard, strawberry candies filled with strawberry…goo? I used to eat them as a kid, so I had a couple as a nostalgic treat. They were just as good as I remembered.
As for the rest of the meal…let’s just say I’m glad I got that workout in this morning! We had Cheesy Lasagna Rollups for our main course.
These were individual lasagna sheets rolled up with all the classic lasagna ingredients, topped with toooons of cheese and baked. It was just as good as it looks!
We also had some fresh, Roasted Almond Green Beans.
I love my Mom’s green beans. She simply steams fresh beans, then adds a little pat of butter and roasted, sliced almonds. The different textures are fabulous!
There was also some Parmesan Garlic Bread for mopping up every last drop of lasagna. It had just been baked this morning and was perfectly pillowy and scrumptious.
Now, we never had dessert after meals in my house growing up. But ever since all of us kids have flown the coop, we get it after every meal. Maybe they’re trying to lure us back home?! It’s working! 
After lunch I was able to get several loads of laundry done, and pre-make TWO dinners for this week. What luck.
Off to eat dinner at Ben’s parents house…I’m still stuffed from lunch!

And Parmesan Garlic Bread ? What? That exists? That sounds delicious!
Have fun!
I loved those strawberry candies when I was little!
Seeing some great friends from college and just having an awesome Halloween weekend as a whole
Looks like a yummy Sunday lunch. I had a hen’s night (that’s what we call bachelorette parties!) on Friday and a BBQ with friends on Saturday so a pretty good weekend! But I definitely need to detox now.
What an adorable Sunday
Those strawberry filled candies totally bring me back to my childhood up at our cabin. They are definitely one of my favorites, but I can never find them anywhere!

YUM! You are lucky to live so close to your parents!
I definitely remember those strawberry candies growing up! They used to have them at a hotel we visited many times and I always looked forward to them….the goo in the middle is the best!
Oh girl, your family Sunday dinners always make me drool. How great it must be to spend a lovely Sunday afternoon surrounded by family and good food. It’s like a holiday every week in your life!
Take care Kristin!
My mom always makes dessert too now that we aren’t there.

I love those strawberry candies! Haven’t had one in a couple years…
Fun thing this weekend: Vegas, baby… Vegas. I’m already hating being home.
Those lasagne rollups look really good!
Halloween festivities on Saturday made for a great weekend!
Those strawberry candies are my favorite! If an office doesn’t have these in the candy jar it’s a major disappointment.
I haven’t seen those strawberry candies forever!
