Taste of Shakopee

Oh boy! What an eventful evening we had! (sarcasm folks) Today was very normal again.. Well.. Maybe not 'normal'.. I got a lot done today! Even after a night of very little busted sleep I was a busy bee!! I folded three baskets of clothes and put them away.. And we have three more baskets of dirty clothes to get washed yet :( anyways I also cleaned our bedroom. I made room in our bedroom for a small dresser for Nathan! Yay to having a small dresser for the little man! Now I can empty another laundry basket and a half!! I also got my clothes into my broken dresser!! :) out of sight out of mind! Now I only have one basket in my bedroom!! 

Kaylee cleaned the girls' room!! That helped me SO much as they never clean their room!! The girls only have one basket in their room and the rest.. Well they are filled with dirty clothes! Yeah I'm fessing up!! We tend to only do laundry once a week as we have to take it to Joe's brother and sister's house to get it done!! That's okay though! I'd rather just dedicate one whole day to laundry then have to do a small load every single day.. I'm just thankful we don't have to go to a laundry mat! 

Wow I just babbled a TON about our laundry! Sorry!!! 

Anyways once Joe got home this afternoon we took the kids all down to the Taste of Shakopee! We met Kimmy down there! The girls liked seeing her!! We only stayed long enough to spend $20 in tickets (which didn't take long to do) and we walked around the business expo! That's always worth the free stuff! ;) Tonight we got 5 toothbrushes, two decks of cards, bracelets for the girls, mouth wash, pencils, pens, candy (the older girls LOVED that!), and some other miscellaneous things! The girls enjoyed getting the free stuff! They were trained right! :) I even love when Nan and I go somewhere and she finds a coupon on the ground, she picks it up with enthusiasm and shouts 'mom I found a coupon!'. It's great!

I'm off to bed now! Hopefully I get more sleep tonight then I did last night! There won't be any pictures for this post as I forgot that I had my camera in my pocket!! Oops!

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...
