Chicken Tacos & Snow Day

That's not my picture (looks good though, huh?), but I just wanted to let you all know that the Chicken Tacos in the crockpot that we had yesterday were GREAT! I think when I make it next time, I won't dump any of the liquid out of the Rotel though, but that was the only thing I would change. It was still good even with some of the liquid dumped out.

Oh, and I also recommend just using 2 chicken breasts. I just used 2, and we had it for dinner last night, had leftovers tonight, and we STILL have enough for another meal leftover. So this recipe really goes a long way.

But like I said, it was a great recipe, and SO easy. I can't wait to have it again.

So we've been snowed in today. We probably have 10 inches of snow or maybe a little more. Church is cancelled tomorrow, so that's a bummer, but I'm hoping the roads are good enough for us to get out to go to Mom's for a while, cause I think I'm going to go crazy stuck in the house! :)

Kroger Trip

I went to Kroger today for their Buy 10, Get $5 off deal.... here's what I got...



1 box of Ritz crackers
1 box of Raisin Bran
1 half gallon of milk
1 tub of Edy's ice cream
1 box of Electrasol Finish gelpacks
5 cans of Rotel
1 jar of Frank's Hot Sauce
1 tub of I Can't Believe it's Not Butter
1 Maruchan Yakisoba meal
1 tub of Daisy Sour Cream
2 cans of Hormel Chili
4 bags of Kraft Shredded Cheese
2 packs of Starkist Tuna
2 packs of Kraft singles (which I for some reason put away before I took the picture)


I got all this for only $10.25!!! I think it was a savings of about 83%. This may be one of my best trips yet. :)

Fine By Me

So a couple of weeks ago, Anthony had a student who said to him "I hate you". This totally cracks us up because it's like the girl thinks it's going to hurt his feelings or he's going to lose sleep because she hates him. I assure you, he is not. :)

When thinking about what his response to this girl should be, this is the first thing that came to my mind:



I just LOVE this clip, and so appropriate for the situation! I recommend going on youtube and watching the whole scene. :)

She Looks Just Like You

I have been given the comment twice now in the past couple weeks that Bailey "looks just like" me. Now, I have to admit, that I'm not exactly sure what is the appropriate way to respond to the comment.



My automatic response is to say "thank you". But maybe that's not right. Maybe they really think I am not so attractive and are feeling sorry for poor little Bailey.

I have also wanted to say "Well, really, most people we know say she looks more like her daddy, and you'd probably agree if you saw him", but I'm sure they don't care about it for me to go into it that much.



So, what would you say if someone made this comment to you? I guess, for now, I'll just say "Umm, thank you?".

Whatever the right answer is, I sure hope I don't have the snot running out of my nose like poor Bailey. :)

A Woman and Her Food

So we had Schwans Creamed Chipped Beef for dinner tonight. I ordered it back in October as a $10 free food promotion that they were doing, and long story short, it took me till like a week ago to finally get the order because apparently my delivery man had a problem not making any money off of me! But I fought hard and finally got it, and let me say...

It was worth it. It was so yummy. We used to eat this when I was a kid and it was everything I remembered it to be and more. :)

I sound like I'm talking about a relationship here, not food. Oh, but wait, I do love food, so I guess it could be considered a relationship. :)

Anyways, all that to say, I love me some creamed chipped beef, especially when it is free!
