Since I will also be going to a barbecue at my mom’s house on Saturday, I decided it would be fun for us to make cake pops, both for Monkey’s birthday and to take to my mom’s for the nieces and nephew to enjoy as well. I figure JF and I can make the pops together, and if Monkey wants to he can help us put some sprinkles on. But I’m sure he will mostly just want to eat them!
After the barbecue on Saturday I will be making my way home to enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend. I’m sure I will indulge in a bit more baking, but mostly I just hope to relax a bit. What are your Labor Day plans?
To start the weekend off right, I made this simple and delicious creamy chicken dish. It’s not very often that I make chicken with a sauce. Or at least not that comes to mind right now. I’m not sure why, since I actually really love sauce with any meat dish! It was done in a flash and it tasted so, so good!! If you are looking for something easy to make over this long weekend, this dish definitely fits the bill!!

Can't wait to see you tomorrow. Happy to hear about the cake pops as I am trying to work a Texas Sheet Cake into my crazy cooking and cleaning schedule. The kids are sure to be excited and make them disappear instantly.
