Food Frenzy Friday

Wow I know it's been a long time since I posted a recipe. I figured it was due. I actually made this last night and Kevin loved it so I thought I'd share. It's super easy too which is always nice. Hear ya go...

Chicken-Stuffed Shells with Two Sauces

1 container (10 oz) refrigerated Alfredo sauce
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Heat oven to 350 and spray a 3 quart glass baking dish with cooking spray. Cook and drain pasta shells as directed on package.

In med. bowl mix a/s cup of the basil leaves, the chicken, cottage cheese and egg. Spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon mixture into each shell.

Strange Sunday happenings....

This is Danika's newest pet. Her name is Britney and this is where she lives. This is the interesting part. She even made her a litter box (sorry for the sideways picture). Yep....those are what you think they are. Silly girl. Luke wanted me to record him doing something silly....so I did. Just for the record....I don't usually film up my children's noses.

BriLynns newest dancing skills

What can I say...this girl cracks me up.

Winter lagging

I don't know about you guys but winter isn't the funnest time for me. Don't get me wrong I LOVE having a white Christmas. I LOVE the days the kids go and play in the snow. It's the bitter cold that I don't like. It keeps you couped up inside. The kids can get cabin fever in a bad way (lots of destruction going on here :) I take the kids to the ice cream fun play at the mall or the fun park but I can't be there everyday. So I'm posing a question to all. What activities do you do with your kids? I'm looking for stuff beyond story time, reading, playing tag, computers or hide 'n go seek. Something different from the regular stuff if you know what I mean. Anybody have some new ideas for kids?

My ode to dishrag

This dishrag may not look like much to you,
but it means a lot to me.
I started this project over a year ago,
and it's finally done don't you see...
It may have some holes and the edges are rough,
but it will still clean the dishes, it's tough!
The relief and the soreness of my fingers is a ton,
but another item from the project graveyard is done!!!

Okay so I know it's lame but I'm just so glad it's done. It's the first thing I've ever knitted and may be the last ha ha. I would pick it up, do a couple lines and then put it down and forget about it. Every time I picked it up I'd have to reteach myself how to do it. I'm just glad to know that if the companies that make dishrags ever went out a business, it would be okay because I know how to make one now HA HA.

An "A" for effort.

I love it, kids have their own kind of language.
I have to give him credit. Ratatouille is a long word.
