Sunday: Garlic chicken pasta and steamed broccoli for the kids and I. Dh will have hamburgers as he is lactose intolerant.

Hope everyone has a great week and the power stays on here as we are in the middle of a winter storm!!

Wednesday: beef tips with green beans and potatoes

Thursday:chicken pot pie(I use pie crusts and it is so YUMMY)

Friday:Grilled chicken/pork chops, salad, rice with mixed veggies

Sunday: either white chicken chili or roast in the crockpot with bread machine rolls

I try to serve fresh veggies and fruit on the sides and as always try to bake something healthy.

Merry Christmas

It was a wonderful day!! It snowed for the first time I can remember in Georgia on Christmas Day!! It was the best sight to wake up to. The kids were so excited and couldnt wait to get out in it. We opened presents(took less than 5 minutes the way they open them,lol) and then we had breakfast(bacon,sausage,eggs,and chocolate chip muffins) and then to the snow.

Look at how excited everyone is!! They couldnt wait to throw their snowballs at Mommy!!

Hope everyone had a wonderfully Merry Christmas!!

LAst week was a busy week with ball games,birthday parties, finishing unpacking and trying to get ready for summertime and all the busyness that comes with it. Im relying heavy on our crockpot this week.

Tuesday: Green Beans,potatoe and ham in crockpot

Wednesday: Kid Friendly chicken roll ups, mashed potatoes and broccoli

Thursday: Make your own pizza night

Saturday: GRILL OUT!! We will have hamburgers,hot dogs, mac and cheese and Zesty Home fries

Some things we will have for snacks/breakfasts:

Amish baked oatmeal(this is so great and even better the next day)

Monster cookies (these are great b/c they can be different everytime depending on what you have on hand)

Chocolate chip banana bread

homemade chips and fruit dip

RECIPE SWAP: Crockpot fajitas

This is one of my favorite ways to cook fajitas.Cooking them on the stove,to me, seems to make the meat tougher. PLus I love my crockpot so any excuse to use it is good enough for me.

You will need:

1 pkg beef strips(if you cant find these cut up small steaks into strips) **you can also use chicken
1 pkg fajita seasoning(I use the low sodium kind)
1 tsp adobo seasoning
1 pkg frozen peppers and onion mix(can use fresh but this is cheaper).

Put all together in crockpot.Cook on low 8 hours. I serve this with cilantro and refried beans on tortillas. Add cheese,salsa,sour cream,guacamole, etc. Its also really good with rice.

ENJOY!!!
