We went to elementary school open house tonight. Yes, Open House. As in, school starts in two days open house. Yes, summer is officially over here in SWFL. I'm not actually ready for summer to be over yet, but I know the boys will have a great time in school. So, since I'm still thinking it's summer, I haven't done anything for back to school yet. Hopefully I'll be able to get some great ideas on our link up.
Speaking of great ideas, we're sharing favorites from the past two weeks this week. And, we'll be selecting 4 posts for Best of the Best! So this is definitely a special week!

Thanks for featuring my Galette Crust among such wonderful posts! I'm thinking your idea of making a Butternut Squash Caramelized Onion Galette sounds wonderful! It's been a while since I made one of those, and I'm thinking it's time to revisit that one. :) Thanks for hosting, Heather!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds great for back to school. I plan to make cauliflower cheese soup this week - with green cauliflower. Yum!
