New News

Joe and I have decided to make the switch to Verizon for our cell phone coverage because they have better coverage. So what that means, you will need to call or text us to get ahold of us. We will NOT be paying for the internet through our phones. I will hit up wi-fi locations to keep my blog up-to-date, but we will not be actively using Facebook. I even think that Joe has now deleted his account.

Tomorrow Kaylee has her Girl Scouts Family Halloween Costume Party. The kids all have their costumes now.. Kaylee is a 'pretty witch' as she says, Natalie is a pink princess, Lillian is a butterfly, and Nathan has a lion costume!

Natalie paired up with Grandpa Steve today. Right away this morning she came to the farm with him to do some work and get eggs, and then this afternoon she rode with to go get bread for the cattle. She is a Grandpa & Eddie tick if I have ever seen one.

Lily showed off her two new molars today! Yup she has two top molars that came through that we didnt even know about! Poor little baby girl! Its no wonder why she has been so darn crabby!! She is such a lover! They way that she loves on Nathan and talks to him is just adorable!!

Nathan has been EXTREMELY crabby today again! He decided that he needed to wake up at 3am this morning! That made for very unhappy parents! Finally 4:30 rolled around and Joe got out of bed with him and gave him a bottle. I couldnt do it. I was up at 2:30 giving him his nuk on and off until Joe got up with him. I could hardly keep my eyes open!!

We have family pictures on Thursday! This is a first since Lily and Nathan have been born! And only our second family picture ever! Terrible of us, I know! I hope to use them for Christmas cards... We will see though..

Anyways I am exhausted so I am cutting this short. I will try my best to keep the blog going every other day so we can keep everyone updated!

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...
