How amazing does that sandwich look?!? So good. I want to be eating that right now. We have a little rain today so I'm testing another round of apple muffins and brainstorming a plan for some videos we're going to shoot for you all next week. We have a school picnic this evening and my kids requested we pack hot dog and cheese sandwiches (Hugh sometimes makes these when he doesn't want to eat leftovers again and I am not up for making dinner and alas, that is the food my kids request. Of course they do). Can't wait to tell people what I do for work whilst my family enjoys their hot dog melt :)

I hope you find something for everyone this week! The sams have a few shortcuts mentioned in the headnote and are a great meatless monday option. The sheetpan can go a few different ways but is so quick and a great way to let everyone choose their favorite veggies off the tray. The salad is very simple, but I am trying to include more lunch options or heavily prepped ahead items so hope that fits here. And a cocktail! It's been a minute since we had a new one and this one definitely feels fall-ish.

Stay well and don't hesitate with requests! xo
