9/25/10

This morning was chaotic! It was post office, bank, and then to Joe's parents to get his car fixed.. Oh and then I had to run to Chaska to get parts for Joe's car and then back to his parents.. As usual Kaylee snuck on the computer! I'm ready to smash that thing in.. She walks in the door and heads straight for the computer! Joe and I have told her many many times that she is not allowed on the computer so she is constantly getting on it and getting in trouble.. The password lock is on it but she has uncles who dont remember to shut it down or at least log out when they get off which means that Kaylee gets on it with no problems.. ARGH!

I enjoyed the mid day a ton! Debbie, Jackson, Nathan and I went to Burnsville to go to the Halloween store out there.. It was pretty lame for a Halloween store.. Not a ton of selection for baby boys (which is what we were looking for) nor was there anything that cost a decent amount for Debbie's son Jackson! They wanted $50 for a SWAT team costume.. Thats rediculous!

Then we went to Walmart! Where we found Nathan and Jackson costumes for less then the SWAT team costume from the other place.. Nathan also got some cute little man outfits from his Auntie Debbie! Before we left her house to head home he got to wear his blue and gray striped shirt and his gray fleece pants! He looks so grown up!

We ended up at Lori & Goobers house for a birthday dinner for Granny and Goober.. I again didnt eat.. this is becoming a normal thing.. Not sure what the deal is, but I am never hungry when there is food around.. Unless its an odd time of day.. Like 9pm at night or 3pm in the afternoon.. Hmm..

Anyways, that is a break down of the day.. Tomorrow we are going to the Richardson Nature Center in Bloomington to do some apple cidering.. Yum! Kaylee's Girl Scout Troop is going so we are taking Nan with us for that..

I'm going to watch a movie now.. We watched 'Letters to Juliet' last night.. that was a good movie.. :o)

G'nite!

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...
