Everyone in the house has been sick or we would get out and do more and have a little more to chat about... This nasty cough that I have had since the end of October just wont go away.. Natalie, Lily and Nathan all have it too!! And on top of it Natalie had an upset tummy last week, and Nathan has an icky stuffy nose! I am so SICK of the germs around here! Booo!

Friday Joe and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary! We went to the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre and saw 'I do! I do!' It was good but I am really looking forward to 'Hairspray'!!! August 5th is the opening date for it there!! I got to see that play in High School in the cities and I fell in LOVE with it! The music and all! Neither of us had been there before so it was something different!

Saturday we went for a visit in Carver... We came home and Joe made dinner. Pork steak and potatoes.. The meat had some serious funk going on! It looked funny even before he cooked it but he cooked it anyways hoping it would turn out.. yup, nope! So he and the girls opted for McD's instead.. GAG ME! I opted to not eat haha.. Good attempt though Joey! Not your fault at all! We think the meat wasnt properly wrapped when they butchered last year or something cause it ended up looking black.. Oh well I am sure the dogs enjoyed it!

Sunday (today) we did some MUCH NEEDED laundry! Kayle and I went to her Girl Scout 'She & Me' event.. We also helped tear down wallpaper at Lori's! What a nasty job that is!!! I will NEVER buy a house that someone has wall papered! Nope nope nope! That crap sucks!

All in all we had a pretty boring weekend.. I wish I had something a little more exciting to blog about but since I dont, this is what you get ;)

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.
