Remembering..

Today has been a very loongg day.. It is also the one-year anniversary of my grandpa's passing. And the one-year anniversary that J landed his new job. And one year since my N2 first rolled over..

Last night I had my neighbor ladies over for a night of wrapping gifts, eating brownies, and a drink (or two) ;) That was very very nice!! I really enjoy my neighbors!

This morning I wake up at 3am sick as can be.. Thinking its the flu that my parents house has been going through.. Thankfully by 5:30am I was able to go back to bed and sleep a little bit.. woke up at 7:40 and flipped because the recycle wasnt out and that meant it got missed because the recycle driver goes by around 7:15am! Then while still in bed half alseep I realize its not garbage day just yet and try to stop J before he went out with the trash.. Ooops! Then it was off to 9:30 mass at school with K! I was doing really good until I took communion. Then I immediately started praying that I not get sick again until I got home from mass. Ugh! Turns out I didnt get sick again! PHEW!! So I went to CUB to get milk becuase yup, we ran out.. Once I got home J left for work.. Havent seen him for all of 5 minutes today.. and then after a easy afternoon things hit the fan once K got home.. I ended up cleaning a flooded basement bathroom and hallway because N1, L, and N2 decided it'd be fun to play in the water.. Punishment = cleaning the entryway closet and family room! Lucky for them I kept my cool with them and wanted to sit in a corner and just cry. Instead I made an easy dinner (Mac N Cheese) and watched a show with the kids and then BAM! It was 8:00 and BEDTIME! N1 left with Auntie V for a one night sleep over about 10 minutes after I laid the babies down and had the oldest two put their jammies on.. She should be returning home around 3pm tomorrow but a little break is VERY nice!

Now that I have given you a complete run down of my day I will shut up and go spend some one on one time with K. Sorry for babbling.. Tomorrow brings J's last day of work for a five days! I am SO VERY THANKFUL for day shift tomorrow and then a 5 day break!

G'night!

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.
