So I made spaghetti tonight for dinner.
I made the sauce ahead of time in the crock pot so all I had to do was boil noodles.
Sauce:
2 15oz cans of Crushed Tomatoes
1 can of diced Tomatoes
1 can of Tomatoe Sauce
1 lb of cooked ground Turkey
3 tbsp of Italian Seasoning
For a sweet sauce add 2 tbsp of Sugar
Cook in the crock pot on high for 2hours or 4-5 hours on low.
So this makes allot of sauce so this isn't for the tiny crock pot.
We are also serving sourdough garlic bread and salad to go with our meal.
Enjoy!

Easter Bonnets
This year I made the girls easter bonnets instead of buying them dresses. That and they are different sizes it was to hard to find matching ones. So I figured they could use the hats to play in all year long. So I got the hats and flip flops at the dollar store.....with the magic of a glue gun this is what I came up with.Easter 2009
Here is the loot that the Easter Bunny left the kids!
Pre-finding the loot picture.
Even Caroline got a bucket of stuff...but the other 4 helped eat it!
Not happy she can't eat her chocolate bunny!
Mathew on the search!
Ellie on the search....I think Ella and Mathew found the most eggs. Anna was all to interested in the candy!Wednesday, April 22, 2009
Enchiladas
Well I made cheese enchiladas yesterday....They were fabulous!
Cheese filling:
1 cup cottage cheese
1 container of Sour Cream
1 8 oz package of cheese
1/2 c. dried onions
1 can of green chilies
Sauce:
15 oz can of green chili enchilada sauce
1 can cream of chicken soup{condensed}
1 doz. flour tortillas
1 8oz. package of cheese{for the top}
All I did was pour a little sauce over the bottom of the pan.Then I put some of the cheese filling in a tortilla and wrapped it. Once you fill your pan add more sauce over the top and sprinkle cheese. I serve beans on the side along with a simple salad!
It was so good...There weren't any leftovers!
Tonight I am making spaghetti for dinner. I will post more about that tomorrow.

Emergency Quick Clean....
This is a quick check list that I got off the internet....It has helped me before not recently but in the past. I am actually going to be doing this today! Who wants to join me?
Emergency Quick Clean - in nine simple steps
1. Go into your kitchen, and wash your dishes. If you have a dishwasher, then use it. It's one of your many "servants". ;-)
2. Go to every sink in your house, and spray them all down with spray cleaner, and give them a quick wipe down with a paper towel.
3. Depending on the amount of mess in your house, this step may be the longest one for you... Go through every room in your house, and throw away any trash, and put away things that have wandered away from their homes.
4. The hard part is over. :-) Grab a washcloth and a spray cleaner, and wipe down your kitchen/dining room table(s), kitchen counters, and bathroom counters. This is also a good time to clean your TV and computer screens, and bathroom mirrors.
5. Toilet time. Squirt in some toilet cleaner, and let it sit, while you follow the next step. You'll get back to the toilets later.
6. Almost done! Grab your broom, and do a quick sweep of your kitchen and bathrooms. This is a quick sweep - this means that you just sweep the middles of the floors. Don't worry about moving chairs, etc, just sweep around them.
7. Get back to those toilets. Use the toilet brush, and give them a quick scrub. Before you flush the toilet, use a wad of toilet paper to wipe the back and under the seat. Then, flush and be done with the toilets. :-)
8. Time to spot mop. Turn on the hot water in your kitchen sink, get your mop wet, and then look at the floor for messy spots, and mop over each messy spot. Remember, this is an Emergency Quick Clean, so we're not mopping the whole floor, just the visibly dirty spots. Now do this in your bathrooms as well.
9. Quick Vacuum time... Vacuum your living room and dining room . Focus on the middles. Don't worry about the edges, or underfurniture, etc. All done! :-) past!

15th of April $$$$$$
I have had my taxes done for over a month now....But I am sending out my check to the great state of AZ on the tax day. You would think that with 5 kids I wouldn't have to pay??? But of course thanks to ex-gov. Janet Nap. and her screwing the budget. The state gets some of my hard earned monies. This just chaps my hide every year whoever thought of April 15Th for taxes should have been shot. Saved us all tax paying, lawbiding citizen a lot of aggravation in years to come. Happy Tax day! Just think after today.....You won't have to do it for the next 365 days! Whoo Hoo!!!!
