Beef Stir Fry

First I chopped the onions and green peppers in large chunks

Don't you love my "Tonka" plates!! LOL

I love water chestnuts

Can't forget the Teriyaki Sauce

Package of "Stir-Fry Meat" sautéed in Teriyaki

After the meat is cooked throughout, about 5 minutes, add the veggies and stir for another 3 minutes or so and serve on a bed of white rice....with more Teriyaki sauce for me and eat up. Yummy.

I love this dish. My husband and I were the only ones that ate it but the kids just don't know what they were missing. DS had a corn dog.....how could you pick that over this??

Candy making with the kids

My littlest chef mixing up the peanut butter center for our candy.

My niece adding the powdered sugar.

I let the kids go wild with the cookie cutters.

Now doesn't he look like an intense chef?

This is my real back up chef. She is the one who takes over and helps out when mom needs it. She loves to watch cooking shows and try new things. They had a really good time making the candy and then covering it with chocolate.

Actually once the chocolate was melted and my son knew he was ready to be done with the peanut butter center, he was ready to cover his fingers, candy, or spoon, whatever in chocolate. He is a true chocoholic!

They had a blast. It was a mess but well worth it and my niece said it was one of the most fun things she has been able to do and was going to go to school and tell all of her friends.

We are in snow, just like the rest of the nation, and they are calling for 6-8 more inches in the next 15 or so hours so I don't know when she will be going back to school. My poor kids don't have to worry about how much it snows. The only time they get out of school with bad weather is when I agree to take in a child or 2 so the parents can go to work or do whatever they want to do. Homeschooling has many advantages; my kids would probably say that is not one of them. LOL

Have a great day and God Bless!!

Best Meatloaf Recipe

I was never one to like meatloaf at all. However, my husbands aunt gave me this recipe and we now enjoy a meatloaf dinner.

Ingredients:

(Meatloaf)
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup oats
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 lb. lean ground beef

(Sauce)
2/3 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon spicy mustard

Directions:
Preheat oven to: 350 degrees
Beat eggs and milk in a large bowl. Stir in ingredients one at a time and add the beef. Mix ingredients up really well with your hands. Shape into 8 mini loafs (or meatballs) and place in 13x9 pan. Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and stir well. Spread a tablespoon of mixture over each loaf and bake for 45 minutes.

Enjoy and God Bless
