Hey Everyone!
It’s Monday.
Again.
We got the news last week my kids’ elementary school will be online learning the rest of this school year.
Whomp. Whomp.
While I feel like the end is in sight {hopefully}, we still have many many days at home on the horizon so one way we’ve been changing things up is with new recipes, new snacks, and new desserts. Thought your family might enjoy changing it up in your house too.
This chicken pot pie recipe is more of a soup to be served over mashed potatoes. Holy YUM! I just bought the Bob Evans’ mashed potatoes {that are delicious, by the way} and served the kids’ pot pie over those. Then I had a bag of the Trader Joe’s mashed cauliflower for Tab and I to use. We had a cool front last week so this meal was absolutely perfect and all of my kids loved it!
Here in Texas, we like it spicy! These enchiladas were absolutely delicious! We served ours with rice and beans and were dishing out seconds.
This is one of our favorite fish recipes {and I realize it’s not the healthiest-I’m looking at you, heavy cream} BUT it’s so darn good. One week I had a hard time finding chicken or beef at the grocery store but there was an abundance of seafood. My kids ALL were huge fans of the crawfish in this one.
This is another Slaughter favorite and I got this one from Marla. {Who got it straight from the back of the Ragu Alfredo Sauce.} Nixon would prefer two meals…steak and this chicken parmesan every other night.
One week recently, I had each of my kiddos plan a dinner meal from cookbooks we have on hand. Bowen and Ebby Lee both chose meals from Kids in the Kitchen. {Popcorn Chili for Ebby Lee and Meatballs for Bowen.} Nixon chose Bleu Cheese Baked Steaks.
We have to get our dessert makin’ under control because we’ve been enjoying a sweet treat almost every evening for the last thirty-six days. These bars were THE MOST DELICIOUS dessert! If you’re enjoying dessert these days, MAKE these!
Ebby Lee makes these lemon shortbread bars from Trader Joe’s and they’re the perfect spring/summer treat.
Have you tried the blondie bars from Trader Joe’s? We give them TWO thumbs up each!
We’ve also had basically every fruit known to man with a side of Nutella. 😉
And if you have Blue Bell in your area, this Cookie Step flavor is THE best!
Some of our favorite people dropped off birthday cookies for my kids and I kept talking about how good they were so she caved and shared the recipe.
And what about this Everything But the Bagel Yogurt Dip? YUMMY! We eat it on crackers, carrots, chips, and basically anything else that is edible.
Another fun and way to bring a little “extra” to our dinners is a themed night! We had a sports themed dinner recently and we all wore jerseys or something to represent our favorite team. We served hot dogs and sausages alongside nachos. I have a few other themed dinners up my sleeve…BBQ/Americana Night, Cajun Night, and Mexican Night.
