Kielbasa and Pasta Skillet Dinner

Another recipe off The Grocery Cart Game's menu Monday. For official recipe go here

I actually made this yesterday. It was just me and the boys. The furry hubby (yes, it is nickname) and Court were doing their thing...which consisted of one working and the other attending a band thing out at Michigan State.

This was a very good meal.

Jump on Over for a GREAT deal on Victoria Secret Bras

I got 2 bras, 1 pair of underwear and an eye mask and I only spent 22.24..no lie. Along with the deal came a free messenger bag valued at 50 dollars.

I found about this deal at My Penny Pile's website and you can find out about it here

Halloween

Anderson went as a pilot. He has never been a big trick or treater. He just goes a couple houses and the thrill building up to the actual trick or treating exhausts him and we end up coming home after a few houses ;)

Most Popular Teen Girl Costume as seen on The Morning Show UNBELIEVABLE

I sat down to feed the baby and had a few minutes to spare for t.v., which is very unusual. Anyway, caught the end of The Morning Show and they were talking with someone from Yahoo who was talking about most popular costumes for different age ranges. The most popular costume , the one most googled, for a teen girl is a PLAYBOY BUNNY!!!!! They think that this is the case because of the show The Girl Next Door..

I would kill my daughter if she wore this costume or watched that program. Isn't there something wrong with this. I don't get it.

To top it off, they said this is the second year in a row. There is something seriously wrong with that.

Dinner Tonight was Amazing, Brown Rice and Lentil Casserole

I saw this on Grocery Cart Challenge's Menu plan for the week. Decided to try it out on the family. THEY LOVED IT...I LOVED IT...its a keeper.

For the recipe go here

Before the cheese was added.



Getting ready to dig in.


The family that prays together, stays together!


You would think that the combination would not be good or the ingredients...but it was really, really, really delicious, very budget friendly and very filling. My 8-year-old even ate it all. BONUS!!!!

Fast and Easy and SOOOO Good Lasagna.

You will need:

1 lb ground beef (I used very lean ground beef)
1 onion
8 lasagna noodles
25 oz jar of spaghetti sauce. (I used two pouches of the new Bertolli Premium Spag sauce).
16 oz cottage cheese (I used fat free Kroger brand)
4 cups Mozzarella (this was a lot and you could use less)

Chop up onion, brown ground beef and onion and drain. Add spaghetti sauce and simmer through. Spray a 9 x 13 dish with cooking spray. Place 4 lasagna noodles in dish, three going length-wise and then break the one to fit going width-wise. Spread across noodles of the hamburger mixture, then half of the cottage cheese and then half the mozzarella cheese. Then repeat the noodles, hamburger, cottage cheese and end with the rest of mozzarella. Put foil over top, spray foil with cooking spray so cheese does not stick. Bake at 350 for one hour. Poke lasagna to make sure noodles are done. Let sit for 20 to 30 minutes. Enjoy. This was so good. This took me no time to put together, maybe 30 minutes if that.

Tackle It Tuesday

I should be absolutely embarrassed. I am posting what needs to be done on this tackle it Tuesday. I guess this is my way of keeping myself accountable, plus my sink will be so happy when I am done.




Get your sunglasses out cause it sure is clean. The angels are singing because I got my sink done. I even added flowers to my picture. That is because my hubby who bought the flowers earlier in the week replaced them so my autumn vase would have new ones..so I took what was still good and made a little arrangement for the sink.




My new flowers are called candy corn daisies....I LOVE THEM and I love the person who gave them to me.

I enjoy knitting, but have yet to finish something.

My favorite season is fall, you may be able to tell from my blog.

I totally LOVE photography. I would like to take some classes some day.

My husband says I am like snow white when it comes to outdoor animals. I tend to feed them a lot of peanuts and will have bluejays, cardinals, squirrels, and chipmunks and the occasional tiny mouse...all at one time.

I am addicted to Tim Hortons coffee.

I have recently developed a donut fetish...which I must correct for my rear is starting to look like a giant pumpkin and my hubby is threatening an intervention.

I can sing and also play piano, but piano is not one I have done in a while.

I am tagging these blogs....
