Ramblings of a Crazy Woman

On Sunday we walked around Boone Cave . Of course I forgot to get a picture of the cave itself.

Last Saturday we had to say goodbye to James. He has been a part of our family for 14 1/2 years. We love him and he is going to be missed greatly.  

Cheyanne just turned 8 and she wanted to decorate her own cake.  I think it looks great and she had a lot of fun creating it. You can not go wrong with marshmallows, M&M's, Skittles and Gummies. Happy Birthday, Sunshine  !!!

 I am really cooking today ! CHEESEBURGER NOODLE CASSEROLE WW Community board 8 servings 7pts Ingredients: 1 lb. ground beef 8 oz. spaghetti or pasta noodles one 14.5 oz. can peeled, diced tomatoes 1 packet dry onion soup mix 1 cup sour cream (low fat) 1/2 tsp. dried basil 1/4 tsp. garlic powder salt, pepper to taste 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Preheat oven to 350. In a large skillet over medium high heat, saute ground beef 5 minutes or until browned; drain excess fat. Prepare spaghetti according to pkg. directions; drain water. In a 2 qt. casserole, combine ground beef cooked spaghetti, tomatoes, onion soup mix, sour cream, basil, garlic powder, salt, pepper to taste. Mix together well. Cover dish, bake in preheated oven 15 minutes. Top with cheese, bake, uncovered, 15 more minutes.  This looked so good, I can not wait to Wednesday to eat it.

One of the meals I like to make is Weight Watcher's Shepard Pie. What is also great about this recipe is the kids love chopping the vegetables and cooking the meat.  Weight Watcher's Shepard's Pie 2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces (es) 1/4 cup nonfat sour cream 1 tablespoon reduced-calorie margarine 1/8 teaspoon table salt 2 teaspoons olive oil 1 cup onion (chopped) 2 medium carrots (diced) 2 medium celery ribs, diced 1 lb uncooked ground turkey breast 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon table salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 2 cups canned chicken broth or 2 cups beef broth Directions: 1     Preheat oven to 400ºF. 2 ...

 We got up early enough to make it to the sunrise service. What smiles for 6:00 am.  Then our Easter egg hunt. Now we have the rest of the day to spend with some great friends and eat some yummy food !!!!

Nothing fancy this year just a Paas kit, vinegar and boiled eggs.  We still love dying Easter Eggs.
