I'm still alive!!

Sorry I have been MIA for a bit!! I had to run the whole show over here while Z was on his business trip this past 6 days...I am now on the other side!! I made it!! I survived all 4 by myself for 6 days...minus tues into wed as my mom came to offer support and a brief breather.....! My camera uploader cord isn't working so I don't have any new pictures...bear with me!

A quick update, Tank had Kindergarten screening yesterday at the kids new school for next year and did great!!! Boomer lost her other front tooth right before bed and had another visit from the tooth fairy!! Z had a great time in VEGAS on his business trip...all in all we are doing great over here!!

Happy 5th Birthday "Tank"!!!!!

Getting the house back part 4

We have done some landscaping with the help of my father-in law and mother-in law as well as Z and my crazies. We have a very sandy yard and it does not easily grow grass. We needed to add some mulch and some pavers.

Monday Night Recipe

          I have tried to change up our dinners around here lately and today's dinner was another success! I made Mini Hamburger Pies. They turned out wonderful and  Tank approved as well!! (He is our toughest food critic and pickiest eater). four ingredients and an oven make a great entree!

 Pie Crust, Fresh Taste Kraft Cheese and bread crumbs mix, hamburger(or turkey, I used Sirloin), and egg wash!

 Mix the meat and the Kraft mix.

 Make small hamburgers and lay on the pie crust.

 Lay the other crust from the box on top and lightly press to make an outline.

I  used biscuit cutter to form the pies.

 Next, crimp and make breathing holes.

 Paint a egg wash over the pies and bake at 350  for 30 minutes.

SOOOO good!!!

A new recipe

The other night I was browsing Pinterest and came across a recipe for mini lasagnas. We were in a dinner rut and needed to get out! I made our own vegetarian version for the family! It was Delicious! Ace thought we needed to share it with ya'll!

 I mixed the ricotta and the cooking creme together for the filling!

 We love Mid's sauce and the italian blend cheese as a layer.

 Use won ton wrappers and begin to layer. You could add meat, veggies,spinach or whatever
your family likes. I used one package and made 24 little lasagnas, with 3 layers of won tons in each.

 I put a spoonful of sauce on the bottom to help soften the noodles as my kids don't like the crunch edges. Then I began to layer all the ingredients.

 Add the cheese and Parmesan on top. I thought afterwards that I could have made a small layer of shredded cheese and italian seasoning inside too. I will so that next time!

 Finally, sprinkle on the italian seasoning and put in a 350 degree oven for 15/20 minutes.

 Wait patiently as you house becomes filled with smells that will make your mouth water.....

 Assemble 2 or 3 on a plate...we used paper for fast clean up due to it being Boomer's cheer leading practice that night. (don't judge, lol!)

 Add some salad and you've got a great meal!

 I have to say that even picky Mcpicky liked this dinner(aka, Tank)

A thumbs up from my MSC (many small children) AND Mr. Z!!! Give it a try tonight~!
