Pantry Monday
Tonight is an easy version of that stuff in a box called Hamburger Helper. I hate that stuff but love the stuff that I make.
Pantry Items:
1/2 bag of elbow mac
1 can of tomato sauce
1 can of tomato soup
1 lb. Hamburger browned and drained
In one pan cook your hamburger meat and while you are doing that cook your macaroni (follow directions on the bag). Then in the pan you cooked your hamburger in add your tomato sauce, soup with a little sprinkle of salt and pepper, and your noodles of course. Cook on medium low until hot and ready to eat. Add shredded cheese on top if you want to make it taste even more yummy!!
There you go! Much better tasting food!!
One little variation that we like too. For a Mexican meal flavor instead of tomato soup, try a can of enchilada sauce and add a can of corn. Cheese is a must for this one! Add it all together like before and there you go!!

Her Ears Are Pierced!
Katy finally woke up this morning and we headed off to get her ears pierced. She is the last girl to go through this rite of passage for little girls. Katy has been asking for awhile now, so why not since she is potty trained now? She really didn't know what was going on when we got to the store, but she was super happy when the lady started putting the purple dots on her ears. Then it took a sec for the two ladies to get her ready for the earrings themselves. On three they were in and the tears started to flow. Katy wanted nothing to do with me any more and went strait to her dad. It took a few minutes for the tears to dry up and then she was very pleased with herself that she had earrings. So all my babies are grown up and we are sporting pairs of earrings in each of the girls. I can't wait for a few months to pass and we can all go out and get matching ones.

Pantry Monday
Maybe I should start a new segment on my blog. Pantry Monday. Easy meals that are tasty and all from stuff that is hanging out in your pantry.
Here is Pantry Monday for all of you today, but especially for Mary and her sick Hubby. This is what we are having for dinner tonight and I do have a disclaimer. I do NOT use recipes at all. I just throw and guess and take a pinch here and there.
Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
I made this in the crock pot today but I guess you could make it in a really big pan if you want too.
Pull these cans off the shelf...
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 cans evaporated milk
2 cans of carrots
1 or 2 cans of chicken **or use some of those chicken tenders or breasts that are hanging out in your freezer just begging to be used!!**
a Bag of pasta (i still don't know what kind we are using. probably egg noodles or elbows)
To make in the crock pot add everything but the pasta. I also put in a little bit of milk too. (Regular milk from the fridge) Turn it on low and let it cook away.
Add your noodles (how ever much you want) about 30-40 minutes before you want to eat so they have a chance to cook and be done.
If you do it in the pan, cut up your chicken and cook it before you throw it all together in a big pot. Add the rest of the cans to your pot, stir and cook on medium low. Add your noodles about 30 minutes before you want to eat.
**Or make your noodles separate and just add to the soup mix. Sir, heat until warm, and serve. you don't want your noodles to get mushy!**
**You can also add celery, but my kids don't like it. That is why we add extra carrots!**
Heat and enjoy. I am going to pick up some French bread for this meal too. Heat in the oven and serve with butter!!
Pantry Monday! Hope that everyone will enjoy and that Mary's Hubby feels better soon!

Going to Private......
We are taking our blog into the world of passwords and setting it on Private. I am going to be doing this in the next day or two!
This means that if you are going to still follow the Blog, I need you to send me your address or put it in a comment ASAP!!
Strange Traffic Flow means not everyone gets to see anymore! So Sorry for the rest of you, but that is how it is going to be!
I already moderate the comments so don't worry about leaving your e-mail. I will just put it on the list and then delete it. I love having people reading the blog, but some visitors not so cool.
