Holy Camoly!!

Today was a busy day! This morning the kids and I went to the bank, then this afternoon Nathan went with Kimmy and Grandma to the Burnsville mall while I took the girls to the park! They enjoyed it! We played on the swings, slides, monkey bars, and the tire swing! Lily giggled on the tire swing but then began to look very out of it so we stopped.. She must have gotten dizzy even though we didn't spin much or very fast.

Once Joe got home we hooked the van up to the boat and took it down to Le Sueur where we have half of our belongings in storage on Joe's parents land. I can't believe how much crap we have!! I kid you not, we have 7, yes 7, totes of toys alone!!!! Oy!! Plus girls' clothes!!! Some too big for one, some too small for everyone, some that we need right now! Ugh! The boat is packed full of boxes and totes for me to sort through so we can get out what we need right now and get rid of what we don't need! Which is 80% of that crap! It's all gotta get sorted, even more so than it already is, then it needs to get washed, priced and sold!!! It's going to be a ton of work but it HAS to be done!! Hopefully Joe and I can get some help with the kids this week so we can get a lot done!



The 'boat load' of stuff!! Really is a boat load!!



It's late and I'm exhausted so I am going to bed now! I'll add park and boat pictures when I get to a wi-fi spot! :)

  1. I thought it was pretty funny watching you guys stock pile everything in the boat! I can only imagine that it was quite a site to see when you were driving back home! :)

Marry Me Meatballs

 I can’t say no to crockpot recipes and Your Barefoot Neighbor shared this one so I had to try it. I’d like to say my children aren’t picky but they all have their own quirks when it comes to food and my youngest daughter didn’t care for the sun-dried tomatoes. Everyone else enjoyed it as it is.  Marry Me Meatballs Ingredients 2 lbs frozen Italian meatballs 4 C chicken stock 1 jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped  1 can cream of chicken soup Italian seasoning Garlic powder Onion powder  Red pepper flakes 2 lbs gnocchi (shelf stable ones) 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream Baby spinach  Shredded Parmesan cheese (I used shaved Parmesan) Directions Add meatballs, chicken stock, cream of chicken soup, sun-dried tomatoes and seasonings to crockpot. Cook on high for 3 hours. When that is done add in your gnocchi, heavy cream and baby spinach and cook for another 30 minutes on high. Top with the Parmesan cheese. Serve with garlic toast. 

Sausage & Rice Casserole

 Last night we failed to pull anything out of the freezers for dinner. Seems to be a common thing here in this house and it’s quite frustrating. I went to my fridge and saw the mushrooms I had gotten and remembered there was a TikTok recipe for them. Y’all this was the EASIEST meal!  Sausage & Rice Casserole Ingredients  1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage 2 pouches of Uncle Ben’s long grain and wild rice  1 1/2 C. Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese, shredded  1 can of golden mushroom soup 1 package of sliced mushrooms  Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown sausage, add in mushrooms once almost all the way cooked. While that’s cooking down, pop your rice pouches in the microwave per the instructions. When they’re done add them in with the sausage and mushrooms. Also add in your can of golden mushroom soup and the shredded cheese. Mix it all up and put in the oven for 15 minutes. 

Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes

Oh man! This side dish is absolutely one we will be keeping around! It’d be really good on the smoker too! I do feel like it’s missing some seasonings so the next go around we will play with adding in some smoked paprika and garlic too!  Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes Ingredients   8 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced 2 medium onion, sliced into rings salt and ground black pepper to taste 6 tablespoons butter 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 4 cups milk 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese   Directions   Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 2-quart casserole dish. Layer 1/2 of the potatoes in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish; season with salt and pepper. Layer onion slices over top, then top with remaining potatoes. Season again with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Gradually whisk in flour and salt and cook, whisking constantly until raw flour flavor has cooked off, abo...
