Last week my children received their report cards.
This means that we are already mid-way through this school year.
Unbelievable, it has simply flown right by.
and…if my memory is correct, I don’t think I have complained once all year about packing lunches.
Although, I am struggling a bit to find new ideas.
Especially snack ideas.
Granola bars have been done
and done again.
Cookies
been there
Brownies
been there too
things with frosting don’t seem to travel well with Charlie
{the kid’s backpack is a disaster}
Blondies are something that I don’t make often;
in fact, I have only made them once before.
It really doesn’t get much easier than a blondie.
{seriously – one bowl, they are that easy}
I was feeling a bit more creative, so I topped them with salted caramel sauce.
They are SO versatile, that you could add almost anything.
Even my chocolate eaters loved them,
and they weren’t very happy with my decision
{that is before they ate them}
I made my own caramel sauce
{recipe here}
but you certainly could use a jar.
Trader Joe’s has a wonderful fleur de sel caramel sauce.
