My Mix of 6

Hello everyone!  Did you have a fabulous Easter?  We did.  The bunny was good to us this year.  The kids all got new flip flops and bathing suits in their baskets.   I guess the bunny was getting us ready for the boat and summer.   I have to say, The Mister did a pretty darn good job with keeping the family on track and fed last week.   I could get use to coming home to dinner on the table.  I just have to do the toughest part...think of the meals and prep the foods.  Actually, we had enough leftovers for two of the nights, that there are two meals on repeat here this week, because we didn't get to make them last week.     So with that said; here is this week's meal plan. Monday: Oven Baked Pork Chops  (previously made freezer meal) Tuesday:   Slow Cooker:    Pesto Ranch Chicken Thighs Wednesday: Taco Braid Thursday: Slow Cooker:   Amazing Chicken (previously made freezer meal) Friday:  Le...

Today's the day!   Today I start my new job!     Today is also where all my meal plans and freezer meals will be put to the ultimate test.    The Mister is officially on dinner making duty.     I have enjoyed this last week off from work.   I'm rested.   I got projects taken care of.   I've had closure from a job of 10 years.  I'm ready to move onward and upward.   To kick of the first week of work, here is the Monday Meal Plan. Monday:   Crescent French Dips Sandwiches with side of fries and cantaloupe Tuesday: Slow Cooker -- Freezer Meal : Exuberant Chicken with a spinach salad and baked potatoes Wednesday:  Chicken Taco Salad Thursday:   Slow Cooker -- Freezer Meal : Pork and Veggies Friday: Taco Braid Saturday:  Steaks (BBQ) w/ Cheesy Pesto Bread, side salad and green beans Sunday: Ribs (BBQ) with baked beans, macaroni and potato salad. I hope you all have a great w...

**Sorry,this is up a day  late.  I spent the day with some important women in my life and was away from the computer yesterday. WOW!   Friends, thank you so much for sharing my freezer meals post all over Facebook!    What a hit!  Obviously I'm not the only one who needs a little easy dinner prep in my life.   Today I am going to share with you a HUGE hit with my family from this last week, and one of our freezer meals.  I'm not usually a big meatball fan, but let me tell you, this was hit with the kids and hubby...and I have to admit, I even liked it....a lot. Slow Cooker: Sweet & Sour Meatballs  Ingredients: 2 lbs ground beef or ground turkey  (Or,  like I did, 1 lb of each, your preference) 1 egg 1 Tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce 1 (10 oz) jar sweet and sour sauce (I used La Choy brand) 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 medium red bell pepper, cubed 1 medium ...

Happy Tuesday!   Check it out TWO posts, back to back!   Yea me!   I have one full week off in-between jobs, which I mentioned about here , so I am going to use it my full advantage.  My Honey-To-Do list is a mile long...or more and I have only a short amount of time to complete the "chores" while The Mister is at work and the kids are in school.   Yesterday the first task I wanted to complete was getting some freezer meals in our freezer.  I had started making these on Sunday night, but quickly ran out of steam; so this was one of the first things I finished yesterday.  With the new hours that I am going to have at work, which is later than I am currently working, I wanted to make sure that we were completely prepared in the meal time department since The Mister is now officially in charge with getting dinner on the table prior to our evening activities and at a decent time. I went shopping on Sunday for our normal sh...
