good recipe

Just thought I would share a recipe from candy's website..think I will fix this tonight! Have a great day

Cheeseburger Casserole
This is a good, large casserole, which will feed several people, is filling, and quite yummy. Here's how to make it..
INGREDIENTS
1 pound ground beef
3/4 cup diced onion
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup, or 1 cup of homemade buttermilk
1 cup frozen peas and diced carrots, mixed
1/4 cup whole milk
2 cups Bisquick (or to be healthier, omit Bisquick and water, and use a cup and a half of Nourishing Traditions soaked dough)
3/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese of choice
HOW TO MAKE IT
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and grease a 13 x 9 baking pan. While the oven is preheating, get the ground beef cooking in a skillet.2. Stir the Bisquick and water, then spread it in the baking pan, or if you're using NT dough, then pat it onto the bottom of the pan. The Bisquick mix will have the texture and stickiness of paste, so it will take patience to get it to spread over the whole bottom of the pan.3. When the ground beef is done cooking, mix the following in with it: the diced onions, peas and carrots, milk, and soup or buttermilk. Pour the mixture on top of the sticky dough in the pan.4. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the mixture.5. Bake for 30 minutes, and then you're done.

Good Morning

Just wanted to say good morning..Hope everyone had a great weekend. We had a fun time at the baby shower. I enjoy being with my family. After that, we had a cookout with some friends, and the guys watched football. Sunday, I actually had the privilege of spending a few minutes with my wonderful sister! ( a little is better than nothing) I miss getting to see her and her family now that life has become so much busier. I am just thanking God for her today and hope that we get to spend more time together soon.

Sunday afternoon, we took a picnic (actually we cheated and took little caesars) to the park with my sister-in-law and her family. The kids played and had a great time.

Last night, I went to my parents church where my dad was preaching. He does such a great job! He has a passion for the lost and a love for God. (and that makes a great preacher) :-) '

It is about time to get the day started...we have lots to do, and also have a football game tonight...so .....I hope you all have a great day...and week ..(in case time does not permit me to blog for a few days)

It's the weekend!

It has been a very busy week. We had our first football game (and won). My son scored a touchdown! yeah! He played his heart out! The whole team did a great job! I am so thankful that we are part of a team who has coached who aren't afraid to pray with their team. They always pray at the practices and games and I think that sets a great example for the boys! (and parents) Today is my cousins baby shower and I am looking forward to seeing her and my family. I feel like I haven't seen any one in ages! We stay so busy through the week that I don't get a chance to see anyone. This is my cousin's first baby and I am so excited for her. She will be a great mom! She has always been there for my kids and me. It will be a big change for her,but I am sure she is more than ready. Having a baby teaches you so much about life and about God grace and goodness. ( and sometimes His sense of humor) :-) Hope you all have a great weekend and I will blog again as soon as time permits. God bless!

New Family members

Hello

Just wanted to say hello! I have not had much time to blog lately! Homeschooling is getting better..we are trying to get into some sort of routine. Today we will start the mummification process on a chicken (we are studying Egyptians) We bought our embalming supplies yesterday, so that should be a lot of fun. It is a six week project. I will take pictures to post later..

My Mom had a little trouble with her heart, and ended up in the hospital last night, so please please remember her in prayer. She will hopefully come home today.

We had a football scrimmage last Thursday, and AR did great! He is having a good year!

We are loving our new home. It is time to paint the kitchen...the wallpaper does not match my decor.

I will try to post more this week..but right now, I have to get the kitchen mopped before the kids get up! :-) Have a great day!
