Sibling Pictures..

More storms?! I'm awfully sick of the severe storms! Tornados have been all over the state this summer and I fear that it'll effect us each time the storms move in! We have had heat advisorys, tornado watches, and tornado warnings all summer long it seems..! I'm praying the storms go away and don't come back any time soon..

Natalie, Lily and I were in Mankato today.. My siblings and I did some of our own "family pictures".. Needless to say it was EXTREMELY HOT!! The van read a scorching 99 degrees! Our heat index was 100+ again!!! We all were sweating within ten minutes! Yup! Icky nasty! I am anxious to see how they turned out as I helped with the "posing".. Not sure how my ideas turned out on film but they were cool in my head haha! I am SO anxious for tax money to come in already next February because Joe said I could get my DSLR dream camera! Waaahooo!!



Some of my favorite un-edited pictures




Another one



And another...



I'm ready for the weekend! Tomorrow 3:10pm can't come soon enough! I'm excited for Lillian's first birthday party! I'm also excited for Kaylee's Girl Scout swimming party! It'll be a busy weekend for sure so I am hoping to get some time to blog! I'm sure I'll stay awake late just to do it haha as I don't want to break my good record just yet.. :)

Short and sweet but I guess I'm going to go make Joe's lunch now.. Then hopefully I'll get to go to sleep :o)

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.

Gradually whisk in flour and salt and cook, whisking constantly until raw flour flavor has cooked off, abo...
