Saturday:  Sweet and Sour Pork Stir Fry, Rice, eggrolls  Changed to this Chicken Taco recipe with Kale and Salsa Verde, watermelon

Last week I made an awesome no bake cheesecake- I picked up some boxes of jello pudding on sale- one of which was an oreo flavor- mixed with 2 packages of softened cream cheese and a little cold milk, folded in a half carton of cool whip and some extra crushed oreos and put into an oreo crust...YUM!
