Oh saturday how I love youuu

I look forward to Saturday alll week. I love sleeping in with hubs, getting up and getting to actually enjoy my coffee (as opposed to chugging it on the way out the door the rest of the week), eating a good breakfast, reading blogs, watching TV- I could go on and on. 


As I type I can smell turkey bacon and eggs being cooked in the kitchen =)


My challenge for day 11 is to post a recipe. I posted several recipes of things we cooked this past week and I don't typically cook new things on the weekend. 


Tomorrow being the Super Bowl, I do have football food on my mind. I searched the internet for semi-healthy recipes that are based around our traditional football food and I found some!


I think I am going to cook...

*While your average restaurant chicken fingers would run you about 350-400 calories for 2 chicken fingers and some sauce, these run you about half of that!*

Along with the chicken fingers we will definitely be having the heath blondies that I posted yesterday. And they are definitely not light. =)

I'm off to eat, shower, and get ready to decorate my classroom with my mom! Be back tonight with the best outfittt
