Man.....

Today in church we talked about emergency preparedness. Yeah, I am sure that I suck at it! If you have any ideas on where to start, share! I am soooooo overwhelmed! But here is my menu!

Monday

B: Oatmeal/Cereal

L: Ham and Cheese pockets

D: Crock-pot chicken and Rice (From Jamie)

Snack: string cheese, smoothie

Tuesday

B: Oatmeal/Eggs/Toast

L: Leftovers

D: Ham and Pasta Skillet Dinner (To Annie)

Snack: leftover family home evening snack, nasty cookies, or maybe make PB Play-dough (this is stuff that I always LOVED when I was a kid. I watch some neighbor boys on tuesday afternoons, so this may be a winning snack! And possibly entertain for 20 mins!????)

Wednesday

B: Oatmeal

L: PB&J with apple slices

D: Chicken Fajitas, Rice, and Beans (I am seriously addicted to these beans!) (take to Jamie)
Snack: Celery with PB and raisins, ovaltine

Thursday

B: Oatmeal or cereal with toast and fruit
L: Hopefully leftovers!
D: Chicken and rice (From Annie)
Snack: Popsicles and crackers and cheese

Friday

B: Oatmeal or cereal
L: At Granny T's!
D: Orange Chicken and Veggie stir fry with rice (What? Not Pizza???? Yes, I am feeling OK, but I am just needing to use some ingredients that I have!)

Snack: At Granny's house

Saturday

B: Pancakes (we didn't have them last week, and MAN, I miss my pancakes!!)
L: This and sunday dinners are the same. Kinda what you find, you eat....But i'll make the little dude a PB&J.
D: Pizza (See, I told you not to fret. It will ALWAYS make an an appearance on my menu. ALWAYS!!!)

Sunday

B: Eggs and toast (with the hopes that we wake up early enough!)
L: Roast and some taters with rolls and jello (Really, is there anything else that you should have for a fast sunday dinner?)
D: Seriously, I think that this is a sin to even think about! Ever since the beginning of my time, people just do their own thing. However, last sunday night as I was reading bedtime stories, my little man (3YO) says “Mommy, we didn't eat dinner tonight.” Hmmmm, I guess that this could be too confusing for the little dudes!

Snack: Hubs choice. Last week I really made Lemon Bars. OH MY MY!!  

Heavenly Dinner!

So tonight was chicken enchiladas... I am usually really boring and just do something like corn for the side. Well folks this young lass mixed it up! My sweetheart said he wanted beans and rice (really? With a mexican main dish he would like that for a side???) So I busted out a can of good ole black beans. I am sure they would have been fine alone, but, I being the internet recipe searching person I am found this (click in the word THIS) recipe. And yes, it really is quite easy and divine! MMMMMM!!
So then, what else made this meal so good....well, you see, we have an ice rink in our back yard. And tonight, the young men had their activity back there. My lover asked if I would be so kind to make some peanut butter bars. Seriously?!?! Asking me to make a treat is like asking if a fish can swim! I LOVE IT! So of course I did it! They are divine. They are a delight. They are seriously one of those treats I could eat the ENTIRE PAN of! (yeah, why do I know that? Oh yeah, because one night sweety heart-o and I did it! HA HA HA) That's all for now. BYE!

Late with this week, but.....

Well, Here goes another week of nothing! If you have any cool ideas, fill me in! And for those of you whom are wondering, YES, if it is on my menu, we eat it! I am weird like that! Menu planning helps me save money, and what's more, it saves me a TON of time!

Almond Milk

So my sister came for a visit- she is not lactose intolerant, however her 6 month old breast fed baby is. So she has to have this stuff....seriously, it tastes like butt. BUT, I found something to use it in! RICE PUDDING! It made it taste great! It gave just the right flavor. I loved it. Would I spend $4 on a carton of it. HECK NO. BUT, since it was in my fridge, I used it! :)  That's all. The end. 

Chocolate Chip Cookie OR Brownies...Oh how 'bout BOTH!

So....My little man is asleep on the couch with my real man, and the baby man is asleep in his crib. Life is good. Although I am going to kick my self in the butt at 8 tonight when nobody will go to bed. :)
So, I ask my dear sweet hubby (while he was awake!) what he would like for a sunday afternoon snack. He replies brownies with raspberries (I bottle them when they are in season!) DANG! I wanted chocolate chip cookies. Well, then I remember seeing a post on some random blog like forever ago. It was called chocolate chip cookie brownies. What? What is that? I didn't know, but it sparked the idea to sin. BAD! So I bust out my favorite brownie recipe, and my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe,

 and wala-

what we have here is a 1000 calorie treat, for all you fine ladies (and gents) on a diet (ha ha).

So the sides of the brownie grew over the cookie, but OH MY! Heavenly!!!! And please, don't be jealous of my wicked photography skills! I know, I'm amazing! :)
