My little Man

Just thought I would post a couple pictures of Dontae.

 Here he is on the middle shelf of his changing table. He took down the baskets of stuff and just hopped on. LOL
 And here is Dontae with his Grandma Lois (my mom to those of you who don't know)  Dontae looks scary here, lolol  he just does stuff like this when you ask him to smile.
Would you ever know that my mom is turning 80 in Aug? Simply gorgeous.

Also I wanted to tell you that tonight we ate Sweet and sour chicken.  We served it over rice and had a vegetable. We had Nate and Calie over for dinner  this is how we scored the meal.
Nate 8
Calie 8 1/2
Mark 9
Kim 8 1/2  with 10 being the highest.
Pretty darn good if I do say so myself.  Just had to heat it up and make the rice and veggie.  Life is good!
Matty keeps asking me when she can order her food from me.... LOL

Now We're Cookin'

Only made twelve dinners instead of 15. I miss calculated a my chicken, and also I already had a ham in the freezer which I was going to make and then  make two dinners from that.  So I still will, it just wasn't in the cooking day. But we will eat it in January.  First picture is of the Basic meatballs,  which I then turn into Hawaiian meatballs.  I will serve it over rice and hm hm good.

 

Next I made Almost Spinach Ravioli...  I think its almost since everything isn't stuffed inside the pasta, but I tell you does it smell good.  The picture does not do it justice.

I also made Cheesy Chicken Pasta Bake
Candied Chicken
and last but not least Navajo Taco's  Check it out!

So as we eat these meals I will let you know how good they are on a scale from one to ten.  Ten being delicious.  Oh and we rated the Beef Stroganoff as a 8 or 9.  If I add red wine to it next time, then it will be the recipe I have always made LOLOLOL  then its a 10. :-)
Sorry this was a day late, but yesterday my body only wanted to sleep.  Could it be from going to bed every night after midnight?

NOW WE'RE COOKIN'

 Ok, today was great, didn't get all the cookin' done, but I did do half.  Stupid me thought I had a Dr. appointment yesterday, but it was today and it takes an hour to get there and a hour home.  So with 7 meals done, I am very happy.  I will finish up in the morning.  The meals I made today were

1.  Chicken Enchiladas

2.  Sweet and sour Chicken

3.  Pork Chops and Potato's

4.  Beef Stroganoff

5.  Cheesey Chicken Bake

6.  Broccoli Chicken and Rice

7.  Birds Nest Pie

Here is a yummy picture of the pork chops

Home made rolls tomorrow as well!! 

Do you know how nice its going to be, not to figure out what to make for dinner and Remember to take the meat out to thaw.  I mean "who has the time"   Marky has decided that he wants to do your cookin' for you too, Hense, where today's title came from (my lovin' husband) NOW WE'RE COOKIN'.

He had a ball today, and all he was doing was cleaning up after me.   LOL Well think about it, wouldn't you like to have a home cooked meal all ready for you to put in the oven.  

BTW the Beef Stroganoff was amazing, we had it tonight.

Shopping went well

Here is a picture of the food we bought today for my big cooking day tomorrow.  We went to Costco in Burlington first, then over to The Walmart super store.  Very nice if I might say so myself.  There is lots of chicken, pork, and sausage. I did spend the money on freezer bags from Costco, because with the many times I will need them, this would be the most cost effective.  I do have a couple things at home already that I am using, but my total bill today was $159.85.  Each meal serves 8 or more.  Bottom line is each serving is $1.33.  You can't beat that.  Will post more tomorrow

Shopping Day

Ok so today is my shopping day for my monthly cooking. Actually I am only going to do 15 meals this month, since I already have other food that needs to be eaten.  Part of my shopping will be at costco the other at a grocery store.  Which one will always depend on the coupons I have.  Today though I have none.  Because getting prepared for this took my time that would of been spent on couponing.  So next month I will be a little more prepared, since the point of all this is to SAVE as much money as you possibly can. I will post pictures as I go, I will break down the cost for meals etc. And tomorrow is the big cooking day.  This is going to be fun!
