What a Domestic day!?



Spent the day cleaning the house and also managed to split up those 3 pks of sausage I bought at Shopper's yesterday into 7 pkgs for meals, bake 4 loaves banana bread, 2 of which were with nuts, 15 chocolate chunk muffins (2 missing, Joe was hungry I guess...), and made this delicious pizza for dinner. Half of the pizza is salami and cheese (me) and half is sausage, pepperoni, onion, & bellpepper (Joe). It was so YUMMY!
