another recipe

 

so since i helped out tiff this week with her food blog i thought i give u another quick recipe..

stuffed peppers...yummy

 

these are from my garden so it varies on size but i try to use 1 pepper per person but sometimes its two.

 

green pepers

1 lb browned hamburger

1-1/2 cups cooked rice

2 cans tomato sauce

1 cup shredded cheese

 

wash and cut the tops of your peppers and place them in your pan..i have even halved them too..combine your hamburger, rice and tomato sauce and then put that mixutre into/onto your peppers..cover/sprinkle with cheese and bake at 350 for 45 mintues and enjoy..my kids love them

car wash

 

well in all of my craziness this summer i had def neglected my van..so i decided it was time for a wash...i vaccumed and wiped everything down and then let the kids go to town as far as washing it..carter decided to use an entire bottle of soap..yep a whole bottle..oh well but they had fun washing it and them selves..they did a pretty good job too..

just breathe

its been an insane month..band and more band..canning season is way early and the kids still havent started school.. my budget is gone for the month but hay all the bills have been paid..sept will be intersting and hopefully it will all work out.. all i can say is that i have done my best and hopefully its good enough cuz its all i got so i quess now its time to just breath..A-

really

why is it when ur having a good day and then it just turns bad because ur kids are being stinkers, ur tired and pms-ing that people look at u like ur a complete b*(&@.... lately i just feel that way.. i am doing my best in all that im doing.. yah im crazy but who isnt.. ugh...

canning season

 well as u can see my garden has exploded and canning season is here.. i have already froze 14 bags of squash for over the winter.. we have eaten white peaches and cherries (i did manage to freeze a few)..also had stuffed peppers for dinner from peppers from my garden and just did some apple sauce today..got 9 quarts..not much off my moms tree but i need to prune this year and i am hoping to get some more from someone in my neighborhood

this is also my my new toy.. corey had a little o.t. which is rare so i was able to buy this..yeah i have wanted one for years and now i do..wahoo.. i know its sad when i get excited over something for canning..

anyway things are startng to get busy around here.. as u can see i have a very buisy 2 year old and last week he thought he would help with dinner and ended up with 2 stitches..i also finished the 2nd week of band camp for the summer and the kids did really well..hopefully we can keep it going and they can do an awesome job for the season.. anyway keeping busy and sorry i havent posted in a while..life has been a little insane..A-
