Kyleigh's First Cold :(

Kyleigh has gotten her very first cold :(  Can't say i'm surprised though considering this weather has been absolutely ridiculous and her cousins have all been sick too, which is where she is half the day while I work. This weather we have been getting lately has been crazy! 60 degrees one day and now we are in the 30's within a few days. She is doing well with it though. No fever, only a cough and runny nose. A little more irritable today then she was yesterday, but have been very lucky. No crying fits, just doesn't want to be left alone. Has been crying if we walk away from her. Has had trouble napping today but I finally have her down so hopefully she sleeps longer. Been up since 7am and has only had 2 half hour naps.


On a different note, I am continuing to cook. Don't get me wrong I always cooked, just stuck to the norm though or would make those frozen meals in the bags. Made a chicken broccoli stuffing bake last night and made homemade chili today with corn bread. Not to toot my own horn or anything but I must say, these new meals have been turning out delish!....TOOT TOOT :)   One of the meals didn't turn out how I was hoping but I hope to find a way to tweak it a little and try again.


Hubby has been out hunting with his uncle since about 5 this morning and is still not home. Probably hanging around his uncles, which is convenient for him since its only a few min down the road, as well as his usual hunting spot. We love living out here in the country, so peaceful, relaxing, and lots of wild life!


Now its football time! And later tonight my Pats vs. Broncos. Let's go PATS!!!

Cooking Mama!!

So I have recently seen a lot of blogging sites with some yummy looking recipes and am officially addicted to Pintrest. Love finding new recipes and even little craft ideas. Lately I have been trying alot of the ones I find and they all have been delish so far!! Last night I made an asparagus casserole with our steak and baked potatoes. Today for lunch for the football game I made spicy bbq sliders and on the menu for tonight Pastry Puff Stuffed Chicken with Orange Glazed Carrots, not sure what else just yet.


I have also stumbled across "freezer meals" while on these blogging sites and thought it was something I would try. Pick a day on the weekend and prepare meals to just be pulled out of the freezer and be thrown in the oven. After working all day and then coming home to my 6 month old daughter, this sounds like the perfect idea, as there are many nights I come home and "just don't feel like cooking" after a long day. Now instead of all the prepping I can just pull it out and cook. Right now I have chicken carbonara and mini meatloafs (from the picture) in the freezer. Going to try breakfast burritos and a cream cheese chicken as well. We shall see how this turns out.....
