A Labor-Free Day

Today has been a great day! It's been equal parts lazy and productive.

The productive part of the day is the Labor Day meal my roommate and I were able to create: honey mustard grilled chicken, broccoli salad, and cooked potatoes mixed with butter, sour cream and cheddar cheese. Simply divine.




Last night, I also whipped up (It felt as effortless as the phrase suggests) a from-scratch chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting.




Normally, when I do this much cooking (like when The Fiance's in town), I am absolutely pooped afterward, but not this time. I've had a relaxing and refreshing day -- exactly what a Labor Day should be.

Oh, Yum! Tonight we did homemade sloppy joes and from-scratch brownies. I love long weekends like this.

I didn't realize you had a roommate.

It's a good thing to enjoy your day. The food look way to good for my Waffle House stomach.
