Tuesday Dinner and More

Today started off kind of rocky. Kids woke in bad moods and didnt want to do school today but we finally got going and were still able to finish all of todays work. I havent been feeling well so I havent been able to really blog. Hopefully I can get in with a doc soon and figure out what is wrong with me. This past weekend was wonderful but very exhausting. I left work and headed to MS which is about a 2 hour drive for me with 4 kids to pick up my best friend and her 6 week old baby! Then we drove home, so yes I was in a car with 4 kids for 4 hours. Im impressed to say they were actually pretty good the whole trip. So I spent the weekend loving on the baby and babysitting. Then yesterday I spent the day pretty much in bed bc I was so nauseated, still that way today but I gotta babysit this afternoon so nappy for me.  Anyways on to whats for dinner. 

Oh for lunch I cooked all my chicken for the day and made buffalo chicken pizza so I will give that recipe first then tonights dinner is chicken alfredo! 

Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Pizza Dough
Cut up cooked Chicken (2 breasts)
Buffalo Sauce
Ranch Dressing
Shredded Mozzarella
Provolone Cheese

Heat oven to 425. Spread your dough out on a pizza pan.  Mix your sauce and dressing together and spread on dough. Top with shredded cheese then chicken then more shredded cheese and layer provolone on top. Pop in oven for about 15 mins or til done. Very yummy!

Chicken Alfredo

4 Chicken Breasts cooked and cut up (season the way you like)
2 Jars of Alfredo Sauce
3 Tblsp Basil Pesto
8 oz Fettucine Noodles

In a pan combine your chicken, sauce and pesto. Bring to a boil then let simmer. In a pot cook your noodles as directed. Drain combine chicken and sauce to noodles mix and serve.

I also make a homemade alfredo too that you can use instead of jar alfredo.

2 tbs butter
2 tbs flour or more if needed
1 1/2 cup milk or half and half
3/4 cup parmesean and romano cheese
salt and pepper to taste

In a sauce pan melt butter and add 1tbs garlic. Stir in flour and make a roux. Stir in milk, cook and stir over med heat until thickened and bubbly. Over low heat add in cheese and stir til melted.

Testing and Dinner

Today we completed our tests in homeschool. I was very proud of my kids! On each test we took no one missed more than 1. For my son that is a HUGE achievement bc he really struggles with spelling and he only missed one word out of 10. And it also lets me know we are on the right path in our studies this year. So yes this makes me very proud!

Now on to dinner. We went to Winn Dixie today after the bank to pick up some Gummy Bears for a Science Experiment and I also needed milk. Well I seen a few bogo sales that I couldnt pass up. And the Make A Meal Deals were too good to pass up. One of the deals was 3 boxes of cereal and you get a gallon of milk, donuts, apple juice and doles fruit cups! I needed the milk and with my kids I can always use the cereal so this to me was a good deal. They also had buy 2 bags of armour meatballs for $9.98 and you get Prego Sauce, Spaghetti Noodles and Cole's Garlic Bread Loaf. So that is whats for dinner. I poured the meatballs and sauce into the crockpot to slow cook thru out the day and later I will boil the noodles and bake the bread. Simple and Easy! Just the way I like it after a busy day!

Hubby and I are actually gonna have a date night to ourselves after kids are in bed. This involves Hoodwinked Too the movie, The Guild and just spending 1 on 1 time together. And since its national movie night with Redbox I got the kids a movie too. Mars Needs Moms! So after lunch we are gonna sit down and watch a movie together then clean house bc I have company spending the weekend with me. I cant wait to see my handsome baby nephew!!!!

Wednesday Dinner

Tonight for dinner is my version of Beef Stroganoff

1 pkg beef tips or stew meat
1 pack mushroom gravy
1 pack onion gravy
8 oz sour cream
10 oz egg noodles
salt and pepper

In a skillet brown your meat and set aside.  Boil water in a pot for your noodles, follow directions on bag.  In a pot make your gravy as said on package. I combine the 2 together and just double the recipe. When meat, gravy and noodles are done and drained, I combine all together, add the sour cream, salt and pepper and mix. Voila Dinner! Lol

The First Day of Homeschooling

Well this morning got off to a rocky start, my son had an attitude about starting school and didnt want to listen to me about the rules and how things were gonna be different from last year. And I have learned that when my youngest doesnt like something she will just sit there and cry. This is my first year homeschooling her and her teachers before always told me that she would do this. I am now a believer. LOL But after we got that problem settled and my son to understand things become much better and I only had to do 1 time out and I didnt have to ductape any of the kids mouths. So yay for day 1. Hopefully tomorrow will be an even better day.

Also tomorrow is the LAST DAY for Avon Campaign 18 so get your orders in now. www.youravon.com/jessicastinson

Its Monday

Its Monday and I am so glad that we are not homeschooling until tomorrow bc kids are very cranky. The reason we put it off a day is hubby was supposed to have Saturday off but he didnt and so he now has today off and I have a ton of errands I need to run and do. I wish I could wait 1 more week to start the homeschooling bc I have so much that needs to be done but I know that come next week it still wouldnt be all done and Id still be procrastinating. Oh well here's to not procrastinating and getting some things done when I can.

Its Sunday

Its Sunday and tomorrow starts the new week and we also start homeschooling here in the Stinson House. I am a little skeptical when it comes to my son who really does not like school. I am really hoping with all the new cool stuff I bought from Books A Million that I will be able to keep him interested this year. My girls are really looking forward to staying home this year and being schooled by mom. Im not sure they will still think that in a few weeks tho. I do plan on taking them on a few fun filled field trips this year. We will definitely be going and seeing the Blue Angels Homecoming Show! Im also thinking of finding a few museums and artsy things to do. I'm really hoping I can make this a good year for them and me!

Tonights Dinner

Taco Soup
2 lbs Ground Beef
1 pkg Taco Seasoning
2 cans of corn
2 cans pinto beans
1 jar salsa

Brown your ground beef and drain grease. Then add to crock pot and add seasoning and veggies and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Serve in bowls with tortilla chips, shredded cheese, sour cream and extra salsa if you like.
