    * 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Good Morning!

This morning I am up early (early for me anyway). My baby has gotten used to taking a nap in the evening and wakeing up at 10pm then staying up until 2:30am or so, and getting up in the morning around 8:30 (that is in addition to his waking up in the middle of all that to eat). But no worries he goes back to sleep when my toddler gets up! UGH! I do have so me relief today though! My 11yr old is off school due to the ice storm! Whoot! I am going to have him earn some extra computer time today by watching his brother while mommy sleeps. :) Speaking of ice storm, my sister in law was stuck in traffic for 7.5 HRS!!!!!! She ran out of gas and had to flag a tow truck driver down to pay $100 for only $10 in gas. She also had to pee and had her 2 small dogs in the car with her. It was quite the ordeal for her and we couldnt even help her because she was at a dead stop (there was no way to get to her) on HWY 70. The roads were so bad that she saw aprox 15 - 20 cars off the road between 4 exits on the highway. I am just thankful she made it home okay. My husband took about an hour and a half to get home from a 35 min drive. But he is considered lucky in this case!

Snow or ice day from school .... I remember the feeling when I saw my school dist called off for the day. One good thing about snow days is seeing my junior high student jump around when he finds out he has no school. So today will be a day of watching too much t.v., playing too much x-box, playing too much computer and eating too much junk. Every kid has to have a day like that every once in a while! And I am happy to have a little extra help and some good company from my son. I think I am just as excited when he gets called off school! lol Today should be a good day! Lets just pray I can live through my toddler's constant screams! We are in the scream phase right now. Happy... scream, mad.....scream, no reason.... scream! I think he likes how he sounds. I have a rule in my house and that is to ignore it, act like it never happened and hopefully it will cut this phase short. When I say scream I mean your eardrums shake, it is so high pitched and excruciating that you want to just lock yourself in your room and never come out! Oh the joys of children! :)

Holidays Have You Stressed?

Holidays have you stressed? Here is the answer to your problem! LOL 

 

WHITE CHOCOLATE MARTINI   

    

    * 1 ounce white chocolate liqueur
    * 1 ounce vanilla vodka
    * finely shaved dark chocolate

Directions:

Prep Time: 3 mins  Total Time: 3 mins

   1. Pour liqueur and vodka into a shaker filled with ice. If you wrap a towel around the shaker it will        make the drink colder. Shake vigorously.
   2. Sprinkle dark chocolate shavings on top and pour into 2 martini glasses.
   3. This should make 2 drinks but I shamelessly drink the whole thing myself.

He lives on cheese dogs, french fries, yogurt, and V8 Fusion Juice. Thank god for Flinstone Vitamins!

What To Bring To That Holiday Party..... Yum!

I wanted to re post this since the holiday parties have arrived. I also added an appetizer to the mix. Enjoy these are super easy recipes!

Appetizer


Party Meatballs


1 regular size jar of Grape Jelly
1 12oz bottle of Heintz Chili Sauce
1 2lb bag of frozen pre-cooked meatballs

Put everything in crock pot and let cook. Will be done when meatballs are no longer cold/frozen. Ta Da! It's that easy!

Beverage

Frozen Whiskey Sour (Slush) - Bring life to the party!

1 1/2 c. Bourbon
1 lg. can frozen orange juice
1 lg. can frozen lemonade
7 1/2 c. water
1 c. brewed tea
1 c. sugar

 Combine all ingredients. Put in large plastic pitcher and freeze. Stir occasionally to break up. Best to make about 24 hours ahead.

Side Dish

Potato Yummy - Always a favorite!

1 bag of frozen Southern Style Hash browns   
1 bag (2c) shredded mild cheddar cheese         
1 16oz cont. sour cream                                     
 1 can cream of celery
2 cups corn flakes
2 tbsp butter

Preheat oven to 400 deg., Mix hash browns, shredded cheese, sour cream, and cream of celery in a big bowl and transfer to 13 x 9 casserole dish. Bake for 45 min. About half way through I usually take out of oven and stir everything up because it is somewhat difficult to do a good job in the beginning. Topping: melt butter and toss with corn flakes, spread evenly on top of casserole and bake for additional 10 min.             

Dessert        

    Apple Crisp - A Classic 

	4     medium tart cooking apples, sliced (4 cups) 3/4     cup packed brown sugar 1/2     cup flour 1/2     cup quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats 1/3     cup butter or margarine, softened 3/4     teaspoon ground cinnamon 3/4     teaspoon ground nutmeg

		Heat oven to 375 Deg. Grease bottom and sides of 8-inch square pan with shortening. Spread apples in pan. In medium bowl, stir remaining ingredients (except ice cream) until well mixed; sprinkle over apples. Bake about 30 minutes or until topping is golden brown and apples are tender when pierced with a fork. Serve warm with ice cream.

Container Thingies

Is this what these wonderful little containers are for? I just thought of this and had to share. Not only does it serve my toddler perfect portions and he can pretty much serve himself but there is little to no waste. What ever they do not eat just pack back in. I am NOT saying you should pull a  Kate Goesslin     I am just offering some thrifty advice to use within reason of course!

Snow Day, Play Day

My Boo! His first snow, well at least the first one he is old enough to get out and play in. What a beautiful experience for him.  And always fun for my oldest to build a fort!

The Last Couple Of Days

I am sorry for not posting the last couple of days to anyone who cares (I know you do! LOL).  I had a big family thing with my brothers family and cousin and her friend yesterday which required a lot more hard work than I had expected in the kitchen. I was in the weeds big time. Once again, I am thankful for my husband for pulling me out. He came and helped me with the dinner and although it was served a bit later than planned, it was a great feast! How the hell did my mom always do these things and make it look like a cinch? Like no problem at all? I will have to ask her. A great time was had by all and all in good company!

Once my oldest got home from school today I packed up the boys and off to my bff's house we went! Always a treat to visit. Kids play and adult conversation. Now we are home and kids are exhausted (bonus to visiting friends with children) and I am ready to update everyone on my ever so exciting life.
