The Hunt

Joe's hunt for work continues.. He got a call from Caterpillar in Owatonna this afternoon! He has an interview scheduled for Wednesday @ 4! I feel like this is it! This is where we are heading!  I am nervous and excited all in one! I am affraid to leave the only home town that I have ever known.. Yeah I have lived in Bloomington (when I was a small child) and Chaska (after Joe and I got married) but after having spent 16+ years of my life in Shakopee, this is going to be hard.. I cant imagine how hard it'll be on Joe. He has been here all but 4 years of his life.. I am also worried about Kaylee having to switch schools again.. It took her half of the year last year to adjust to the new school and new friends.. But as it is just an interview at this point, I am not going to sweat bullets over it just yet. :o)

Here is my hunter.. <3   (his trail camera took this one)


Today we also took pictures of Nathan. Just some snap shots at home, but it'll have to do as his '3 months' pictures... I can't believe how big he is getting so quickly!!



Lillian was a cranky little girl today.. She is cutting teeth though so I cant say that I blame her at all.. I did get a cute snap shot of her though!



And a cranky one...


Then there is Natalie! Natalie was told it was time to go this evening so we could head out. She looked at her daddy and told him 'one more circle daddy, one more circle' as she made a circle while connecting her two thumbs and two index fingers! Too darn cute! When she said one more circle, she meant one more ride around the field in the tractor with Eddie! They were discing. Here she is riding in the field..


And getting picked up by daddy after her 'one more circle' :o)


The only kid I didnt get a snap shot of today is Kaylee :o(  I will have to take multiple tomorrow to make up for it! 

Anyways I am sleepy and I want to go to bed now! I still have a gut ache.. Hmm..

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...
