New Girl Scout Troop!!

Tonight Kaylee joins her new Girl Scout Troop!! I am so very excited about this! She will be meeting at the 'Log Cabin' where I used to meet with my Troop when I was younger! I am very interested in going to see the place and how much it has changed in the last 15 years! A part of me is also nervous for Kaylee just because she had been with her other troop for the last two years. But this is a good change! With this troop she will be with a school friend and she will get to see her dad more often throughout hunting season. Every other Monday and then Tuesdays are the days she will see him as she has religion class on Wednesdays and he will be gone hunting on Thursdays and Fridays and Saturdays!!

.....Continued.....


Kaylee did very well at her first new troop meeting! It turns out that not only is one of her best friends from her class in her troop, but also a gal from her troop last year AND one of her BFFs from Eagle Creek!! Yup!! One of her Kindergarten friends is in her troop and I am hoping that they can reconnect! Here I have been regretting moving her from Eagle Creek because she had a GREAT group of friends and now not only did she get the chance to have Jenna in the old troop with her last year but now she has Raegan in her new troop this year! Now all we are missing is Miss Brooklyn and Miss Aspen! I wish we still had the contact info for them so she could get together with them! Between Raegan, Jenna, Kaylee, Brooklyn, and Aspen those girls always had so much fun!

While Kaylee was at her Girl Scouts meeting, Joe and I took the rest of the kids down to Pizza Hut to use the free personal pan pizza coupons Kaylee had received from reading last year! Needless to say, we wont be going back there in a long time! The service was TERRIBLE!! We got there at 6:00! The waitress didnt come to take our drink order for 10 minutes! Even though we were one of two families in the whole place. Then it took forever to get our pizza, and when we did get it, I asked for a box for Kaylee's personal pan pizza and the waitress took Kaylee's pizza to box it I guess and didnt bring it back! We ate as quick as we could and when I asked for a box for Natalie's pizza and for ours I also asked her to please bring me the pizza that she took 15 minutes prior! Then I went to pay and when I got up there I very polietly let her know that we were not happy that it took them 40 minutes to bring us our pizza. If we order from Pizza N Pasta or Papa Johns, we have our pizza within 15-20 minutes tops! Her response was 'yeah, I know." like it didnt matter at all that she was extremely rude, and that it took forever to get our food. Grr..

Oh well! Once we got Kaylee picked up from GS we headed home and kicked back.. The girls all went to bed at 8:00 and Nathan just fell asleep so I am off to bed too! Hopefully google fixes the editing problem and returns my icon to me so I can squish these two blog posts together! Haha! Maybe tomorrow! 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...
