5 on Friday

This week has gone by so fast and although it was a stressful one, here our 5 things that I loved about the week.

One

My new favorite breakfast spot downtown Charleston. Although it may not look like very much, breakfast was amazing here!  The kids chocolate chip pancakes were scrumptious and that's saying a lot from a fellow chocolate lover. They also had carrot cake, peaches and cream and a banana chocolate chop pancake. Yum! They had chicken and waffles (a first for me) and all sorts of different flavored French toast. If you go for lunch try the tomato pie. Amazing!

Two

Picnic lunches in the living room. Yes! We are still in our jammies. 

Three

Cookie dough balls! 

Yes, my friends raw cookie dough that you can eat and won't be freaked out about getting salmonella poisoning! And trust me they are so good you will eat the whole batch!  Here is the recipe:

Mix

 1 stick of softened butter

 1/2 cup brown sugar 

 1/4 granulated sugar

 1 tsp vanilla

2tbspoons milk

Then you add 1 and 1/3 cup flour

1/2 tspn of salt

1/2 bag of MINI choc chips (since they aren't melted the regular sized choc chips are just too overwhelming)

Then you form them into balls and either eat them plain or you can chill and dip into whatever your heart desires!

Four

Swim lessons. Zachary started swim lessons this week and hopefully Lukas will start soon too. He of course gives his instructor every excuse in the book as to why he needs to take breaks and why he can't go under the water without his goggles on lol. 

Five

Homemade pizza and garlic knots.

Whenever I make homemade pizza I use the leftover dough to make these super easy garlic knots. You literally tie the dough in a knot, bake them at the same time you are baking the pizza. Once they are out, drizzle melted butter, garlic, salt, and Italian seasoning over them and enjoy!
