Teething Toddler!

I thought we were done with teething, at least for a little while. My 19 month old has a mouth full of teeth and I figured I had a few months before the 2 yr molars started. I was WRONG! She has been back to madame crankypants this week, not a lot of sleep for either of us, and she is desperate for motrin. Please tell me that this will eventually end. Eventually she will have all of her teeth, right??

Menu Plan Monday Feb 22

This week I am at a total loss. I have been doing pretty good on my menu plans...and even sticking to them, but this week I didn't prep right :(
So I guess I'll be making another trip to the grocery store again tomorrow to fulfil this, but here it goes... (or maybe here goes nothing!)

Monday - I need to take dinner over to my Sister - In - Law and family to greet their newest member (Nieces and Nephews are so fun...take my word on this!) so I need to do something that is kid friendly. I think I am going to a quick chicken pot pie - super simple just cooked chicken cut up and combined with mixed veggies and cream of chicken soup cooked until boiling and then put some grands on top and cook another 20 minutes or so.

Tuesday - chicken parmesan - dip chicken in an egg wash and then bread crumbs and parmesan - cook at 350 for 30 minutes - add spaghetti sauce and mozerrella for last few minutes of cook time.

Wednesday - Church

Thursday - Tacos

Friday - Friends and Family!

Saturday - Why are their 7 days in a week?? WE have have to eat something over the weekend! ummm....I'm just not sure yet...umm......hamburgers. That will work, haven't had them in awhile.

Sunday - uhhhh...another day?? something with shrimp?? fish?? I don't know!! Aghh!!!!!

Menu Plan Monday

I think I have been doing a lot better about trying to eat from the pantry than I thought I would. So far no one has rebelled, but I did look around at lunch today and wish for something different! So here is the plan for next week, I only need to buy some cream cheese and sour cream.

Monday - Goulash (basically Tomato Soup, Rice, Beef and Cheese)
Tuesday - Chicken cooked in Cream of Mushroom in the slow cooker (or oven depending on time)
Wednesday - Church
Thursday- Beef Stroganoff
Friday - In-Laws
Saturday - Tacos
Sunday - Lasagna

Next week I will probably need to do some grocery shopping at least for some beef, chicken and maybe some fish, but for now I think we are still surviving!

Sleep...when do we get to have more of it?

My daughter has been sleeping pretty well in the last few weeks, but in the last 4 days she has been a mess again! Last night she slept well, but she was up at 5:00 am. I thought I would just try to get her to lay down again, but when I went in there was nothing doing. She had a wet diaper and was already asking for breakfast. Oh, well. Hopefully she (we) will be able to take a good nap today. At least she is happy right now, I hope it sticks.

I love bread!

I love bread and I have really been loving the bread machine that I borrowed (ok, begged and pleaded with) from my mom. My favorite has been an oatmeal bread that I can make with whole wheat flour or without....whatever floats my boat at the moment. Apparently Money Saving Mom has been trying out some new recipese on her new bread machine and I am ready to try the one she put up today. I'll let you know how it goes!

Menu Plan Monday 1-10 -10

Here is the attempt for this week!

Monday - Chicken Alfredo - put broccoli in the alfredo.

I found a great new alfredo recipe that I have done with shrimp a few times before, but I am pretty sure that it will work for chicken too. You cook the shrimp (chicken) in balasamic vinigarette and add 3 cloves of garlic in the last minute of cooking. Pull the chicken out of skillet and add 6 oz cream cheese and 3/4 c. chicken broth and a little grated parmesan until cream cheese is completely melted. Put the chicken back in skillet and pour everything over cooked noodles and add more parmesan and chopped parsley! It is great!

Tuesday - Homemade Pizza

Wednesday - Church

Thursday - Dinner meeting with a group wanting to start a new school

Friday - Tacos - Make sure to pick up some lettuce before this!

Saturday - Lasagna

Sunday - I don't know yet...Let's see how the Spirit moves!
