The highlight of this week is the homemade brownies I baked on Sunday for dessert.  Imaginative One was craving brownies, so he was happy when we had those for dessert.

This is how much was left on Monday.  The boys were fighting over who got the pieces stuck to the bottom of the dish.  (Click on the picture to go to the recipe.)

We followed the menu plan for this week except for the side dishes on Monday and Tuesday.  On Monday, we had pasta roni instead of rice a Roni; on Tuesday, we had regular cornbread instead of pumpkin cornbread.  It was nice following the menu.  It made getting dinner on the table easier.

Every year a local land trust plants sunflowers.  People flock to the sunflowers for pictures.  This year they bloomed later.  We had a rainy June, so they were planted later in the season.  We ate dinner on Wednesday evening and went out to see the sunflowers.  Afterward, we went to our local dairy for ice cream.

An hour south of us in Cincinnati.  Cincinnati is known for the Bengals and Reds.  Most of all, Cincinnati is known for its chili.  It’s a sweet chili instead of a spicy chili.  So if you are looking for a different chili, try the Skyline chili.
