“Best Dinner Ever”

In Texas we get cold rain instead of snow, which is not nearly so Winter Wonderland-ish as the white powder. It’s cold, dreary and very, very muddy. The kind of mud that sucks up mud boots of little boys and has my washing machine churning through the heavy duty cycle. Since we’ve been fighting generic winter colds, I’ve been low on energy and creativity.

Enter an easy dinner to make life just a bit simpler.

I warmed tomato soup from a box on the stove and made some grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches. For the first time ever, I didn’t even stand over the stove cooking bacon, but laid it out on foil on a cookie sheet and popped it into the over. This is how restaurants do it…I don’t know why I haven’t done it before. So easy and zero clean up.

It was declared the “Best Dinner Ever,” especially since the boys could dip their sandwiches into their soup, ranking it behind my (in)famous nacho dinners when Dad is gone. Got to remember to keep this one on the back burner.
