Dinner "almost" ruined

Well, i cooked the stew meat in the crockpot all day, according to the recipe. It turned out great! I continued to follow directions and put the burritos together. Broiled them to make the cheese nice and bubbly. Looked delicious!  (I've included a picture) i took a bite and it tasted a little too salty. I said to the family, "sorry guys, i added a little too much salt." My husband said "it's ok hunny, we will survive ".  Then it hits me, he had checked on and stirred the meat a few times before we ate. I asked, " Wait, did you add salt?" His response was a very quiet "yes." I said, " so you were going to let me think i had added too much?" Lol "yes" Oh my husband, you cant get away with anything! *grinning* we were still able to enjoy our dinner even though it was a tad salty :) I totally recommend this dish, especially if you love burritos! I will be making it again but not adding ad much salt...wink wink. The website for this recipe is in a previous post. Check it out!

Peanut butter cookies

I got some peanut butter "holiday" cookie dough cheap at Kroger. I made these cookies and froze the other half of the dough. Yummy! If you see this at your store snatch it up! You can freeze this for at least 2mos!

Flylady

Can any of you keep a clean living room for more than 5 minutes with a toddler? Ya I haven't figured that out yet either! Lol! I have found an awesome website to help keep up with the cleaning. Its called flylady.com! Its free! The "FlyLady" breaks your house into zones to make it easier. For example, one week you'll be concentrating on the kitchen. Each day she will email you a task to do...like, wipe down the fronts of your cabinets. You spend 10-15 min at a time doing it. You also have tasks that you make a habit of doing every day. (I'll be honest, I have not yet mastered doing these every day. But, when I do them it makes my life ten times easier!) Take a look at the website, it is awesome! 
So for today, I plan to clean downstairs, finish laundry, while also nursing my little girl and entertaining her very active brother!  Busy day :) At least I already put dinner in the crockpot. Tonight we will be having...Chile Colorado Burritos!  Found the recipe here: http://food-pusher.blogspot.com/2010/08/chile-colorado-burritos.html?m=1 Never had them before but they look and sound delicious! I will let you know how they turn out. I'm also going to try to make homemade granola bars today so we have some healthy snacks that don't cost very much. I'll post that recipe and pics when I make them. I hope i'm not boring whomever is reading this :)

Lasagna rolls

Go here for recipe... http://www.plainchicken.com/2012/12/lasagna-rolls.html?m=1 fairly easy to make and turned out great!!! We give this 2 thumbs up and definitely recommend it.

Well this blog was a fail! lol

I completely forgot about this, lol! Now that I have 2 kiddos my life consists of feeding, changing, and pretty much caring for these little angels 24/7. Unless my husband, Grandparent, Aunt or Uncle decides to help out. I love my job and im constantly trying to find ways to make my life a little easier and raise my kids right. For those of you who don't know, I'm a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints...also known as Mormon. We are Christians. My husband and I are doing our best to raise our children to love Christ, follow his commandments, and serve others. Ive decided to start this blog, again lol, and try to write about things that ive seen online or learned to help in my daily life. For example, websites that help me menu plan or keep the house clean. These are both daily struggles for me and I hope since its a new year I can try harder and succeed. I love my family very much and want to be the best wife and mommy I can be. If you feel like following my blog go right ahead, if not then thanks for stopping by. I'll probably end up being the only reader but oh well. Thanks, Jessica

back to couponing!

Sorry I haven't written in a long time. As all of you know, we had that massive tornado come thru the south. It was about 30seconds from demolishing my house. I am one of the lucky ones that only had minor home damage. The homes behind my neighbourhood are gone as well as all the trees. It's amazing that a tornado can do that much damage. Our hearts go out to all those that lost lives and homes. We had no power for five days but we made it thru. Luckily we were able to eat a lot of the food I had bought couponing! I am so glad I started couponing. It has saved my family at least 50% a month on groceries if not more. I've done some shopping since my last post so illl post more later with what I bought and how much I saved.
