DINNER IN 30 - Day 13 EGG SALAD SANDWICH

I had a long day today:( We are getting ready for a major snow storm here in the northeast. All I wanted to do after work today was get home before the snow started; I was going to stop by the grocery store after work today but after seeing how long the lines were yesterday I decided against it. I finally decided the only thing I really wanted if I was going to be snowed in the next couple of day was Malibu Coconut Rum:) So when my long day ended I made my way to the Liquor store closest to my home to pick up my drink of choice only to find that the lines were just as long. My first thought was Damn all of these people need a drink if they have to be stuck in the house with love ones this weekend (lol), but when I got home Taj reminded me that it was Super Bowl weekend so that could explain the lines.

When I finally made it home it was almost 8pm, to late to really make a decent dinner so I went on line and found a easy egg salad recipe and had a sandwich for Dinner. I feel bad that I did not make a decent dinner so I decided to give you the recipe for the Peanut Butter Cookies I made the other night as well::) I hope you enjoy both!!!
