Garage Sale...

Today was by far the best day! The weather was perfect and the people were shopping!! I have probably cleared out half of my little girls clothes! So that is good!

I am so stinking tired.. I dont know what the deal has been lately but I am beat!

Nathan has been very cranky the past two days so if it continues onto tomorrow too, I will be taking him to the Dr to have him checked out. He is never usually cranky!

Lillian was so stinking tired tonight that she couldnt hardly walk straight! (it doesnt help that her jammies were too small - thats why they had a price tag on them) That poor baby kept falling over and was so exhausted! She didnt get in her afternoon nap and didnt sleep very long for her morning nap! Poor precious baby girl!

Natalie starts preschool on Monday! She is SO excited! She cant hardly wait! She has asked every morning since she went to orientation if today was they day that she gets to go to school!

Kaylee had a good second week of second grade! She brings home homework every night now (except fridays I guess).. And she even brought home funraiser information and catalogs this week! I cant believe how early they start that! She even has her first Girl Scout meeting of the year tomorrow! I completely forgot about that until now! Oops! Hopefully I can remember tomorrow! Ugh! My memory has been shot the last few months!

As for Joe, he still hasnt heard from Caterpillar in Owatonna yet! He is hoping to hear from them soon! I'm still very nervous about it all! The waking up at 3 or 4am to get to work plus having just over an hour drive each way! But he insists that a direct hire job is what his main goal is right now! So I'm still praying that God shows us what he wants for our lives and what he wants Joe's job to be! Where there is a will there is a way some say, but I believe it has to be God's will in order for there to be a way! He IS the one and only who knows what is best for each person!

Anyways... I'm very sleepy and need to get to bed.. Its been a long past week! Ugh! G'nite! Hopefully I can get back into my blogging every night once this garage sale is all done and over with! I feel like I have been neglecting my readers! So sorry!

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...
