Monday!

 



We picked these up over the weekend at Costco.
MILKIS

We have never had these, but they sure were intriguing and looked really good :)
I have no willpower over pretty packaging :)


They seems to be like a cream soda.....
I will let you know how they are.  If you have ever had these, please let me know.  I think you can also find these at Kroger :)

I figured out how to add photos....WHEW!!!

Dinner Time!!!!


Bacon, Mushroom Cheeseburgers with all the fixings...especially AVOCADO'S!!!!

I hope you all are staying safe and healthy and finding toilet paper.  I picked up a pack on my way home from Jekyll and I am glad I did.  People are losing their ever loving minds over toilet paper, I have never seen anything like this. 
I have faith over fear and they are not going to stop making toilet paper...people, stop this madness, we are better than this.

Anyway, here is my dinner..it was served on these really delightful soft buns....everything I make is safe for my family with allergies....it's my normal.  What isn't normal is going into the grocery store and the selves bare of toilet paper..I can not get over this......oh well, Hugs to you all!!

Be happy, Be kind and we will get through this....PROMISE!!!!!

Banana Bread

We needed to use up some bananas that were turning ripe really fast--and I didn't want to start filling up my freezer with bananas right now. Alexis and I made banana bread this morning, and oh boy did my home smell wonderful.

Here is Alexis getting the bananas ready, cutting them and then smashing them--she also helped measure out the ingredients and crack the eggs.

Here is the bread right out of the oven.

Ta-Da!!! It tasted really good---especially with all that love in there from my daughter:)


I used the recipe out of my Betty Crocker Cookbook.

Chicken Wings

When I was at Costco yesterday, along with the salt and pepper grinders--I found chicken wings---my family just loves chicken wings--I do to, but I can't have them right now, the hot sauce is not good while nursing. I don't deprive my family though:) Chicken wings are very hard to find in the grocery store, it seems that all the restaurants buy them out which can be a bit frustrating--but we got the chicken wings before the restaurants did LOL.

Frank's Hot Sauce is a very important ingredient----other hot sauces do not compare--

This is what I do, I foil line a huge pan and rub oil all over the foil, so nothing sticks and very easy cleanup. Can you see the big package of chicken.

This is what the wing looks like--I cut the little nub(the part by my finger) off the wing and then cut the wing in half between the joints

They look like this cut up--I don't use the little nub from the wing Just the two bigger parts.
After all the chicken is cut up I rub some oil on them and cook them in the oven at 375 for about an hour, I check on them every now and then and move them around. While they are cooking I cut up some celery.After about an hour of cooking they are done. I have cooked them longer but then they aren't tender and are kind of tough to eat, so I like them moist and juicy.
I melt some butter and then add the hot sauce and mix it all up in a big bowl

Dipping a few wings at a time
Then place them in a pretty dish--I sometimes line the dish with some romaine or red leaf--but this time I just stayed simple.
Here they are all coated with the hot sauce--if there is any hot sauce left in the other dish, I drizzle it over the chicken
I serve the chicken wings with the celery and ranch dressing---I often make my own ranch dressing too. A lot of people like Blue Cheese Dressing--which I think is sooo yummy, but my family likes Ranch instead, so Ranch is what I serve:)

Salt and Pepper!!

Oh, this is so exciting for me. I took my Grandmother shopping today, and we went to the Costco---oh was I excited when I saw these---->

What are they you ask? They are sea salt and pepper grinders and they are BIG ones too. I am use to getting the little itty bitty ones at the grocery store for the same amount I paid for these--3.89 each--woohooo---oh my husband is going to be so happy with these too:)

Appetizer

Good evening!! I am making spaghetti and meatballs tonight for dinner. When Kevin comes home from work I will start my water for the pasta--in the mean time everyone can have some of this appetizer. Italian salsa with baked cheese and garlic toasts. I just sliced up two tomatoes, put two garlic cloves in a garlic press, added some canola oil and salt and pepper to taste. The cheese toast are in the baked goods section of the grocery store. Enjoy!!!

What I am up too.....

I made a poll and put it in my sidebar---and I see the majority of you like to read about my day to day cleaning adventures---well that is good, because I like to write about it...LOL. My favorite part of my blog are the picture posts, just because I like to go back and look at my kids, meals, house, etc. So if you have not yet, you can vote on my poll that is in my sidebar:)

Here are the tomatoes from my garden--and I have to say they are the last of them---those two little plants gave me a ton of tomatoes--and the really sad part of it is--my husband didn't like them..LOL---he said they were too sweet. So I pruned the plant already. Next summer, I will plant some that aren't sweet, any suggestions??? I went to Wal-Mart this weekend and we got some googly eyes--so Alexis and I are going to have a craft day with these--they were .97 cents. we are going to make some funny people or animals.
This is my doggy--he turned 3 years old last week--Happy Birthday Axel!!!! 4 pounds of trouble...lol
I am done with Alexis's closet--this is one side---dresses, skirts, skorts, jeans etc.... There are some things that I am not hanging up--I have a few track pants and such--that will be folded and put on her shelf.

This is the other side--whew-----it is as organized as I can keep it--I like to do like colors, sleeve length---but it is hard to keep up with Alexis pulling things down--so I am happy with this. (You can click the pictures to enlarge)
Her shoes. Why so many tennis shoes? Her school won't allow opened toe shoes, for safety--so, she can't wear her sandals--So I bought a bunch of different kind of tennis shoes, so she doesn't have to wear the same pair everyday. She can wear her sandals at home :)
...and here is my princess!! I can't remember if I mentioned, she had her physical and she measured 45 inches tall and 42 pounds--the ped, said she is tall and skinny.
This is a wall in her room---we do a lot of crafts--her room is decorated on all four walls. I am looking for another latch hook to do---I latch hooked that bear on her wall. I am not sure what I want to latch hook, but I am itching to do one...LOL.


I had to wake up and get ready extra early today---I had to get Tony to registration by 8:00---we got that all done, and his schedule is changed--he starts at 7:40---woohoo. I also did my grocery shopping---Kevin wanted London Broil on the grill--so that is what we will have--along with fresh corn (Jodi it was 5 for 2.00 today) Baked potatoes--salad--and all kinds of pasta was on sale, I was thinking of making some kind of pasta salad or mac n cheese--not sure yet. It is HOT--I broke down and turned the air on---oh it is so nice--but I am going to turn it off soon---the money it takes to keep it on, makes me ill.....things are so expensive here in California---

Since today is Monday, I am going to make a cleaning list of all the things I want to get done---if I don't finish they will be added to next weeks list. Well, that is all for now---I will be by your blogs xoxox

Meatballs and Brown Gravy

Last night I made Susan's meatballs and brown gravy, my family loved it--especially my daughter:)

I made brussel sprouts as the veggie to go along with it--I cut them in fours and saute them until they get crispy on the outside-->
Then as Susan suggested, I made some rice---> (that is my rice steamer)
Ta-Da!!! Here it is plated up. This was something my family enjoyed, it was easy and it was different. Thank you Susan.

I made the gravy with the bouillon cube too, it came out great. Easy cleanup too, because the meatballs were cooked in the oven.

Dinner Post

Last night's dinner, I made BBQ pork--instead of putting it on the grill, I baked it--my house smelled yummy and the meat came out very tender.Salad first-->
..and then the main course. BBQ pork, mashed potatoes, and green beans--I had dinner rolls, but I forgot to put it on the plate until after I took the picture--I just couldn't take the plate away from my hubby to take a picture of the roll..LOL;)
