Last Week Review:

•  Firecracker Chicken  Since it was just me and the kids I left the pepper flakes out of it so it wouldn't be spicy for them.  4 year old liked it a lot and had 3 servings.  4 stars
• Taco Soup.  This was OK.  Mostly I liked it because I got to use my new fancy slow cooker.  My 4 year old (who says she doesn't like soup) ate it.  I had a lot left over since it was just me and 2 little kids so I put what was left in the freezer for another time.  3 stars
• Grilled cheese. I always think it's nice when you can gussy up grilled cheese without much effort.  4 stars
