Hello is it me your looking for....

Sorry for the long break.  We had family come up and surprise Travis and then we went to Iowa to see our family.  We be really busy trying to get back to the swing of things.  I have there products to show you.

1) We have been organizing our tiny pantry.  Before we just been throwing things in their and at the end of the day who knows whats in their.  We bought a soda pop can holder for the cans and baskets for the little stuff.  I was left with the freezer bags, sandwich bags bocks, etc....  My wonderful husband came up with this idea
He took two bungee cords and strap the hooks to the self.  We did this to do two shelf's. One for the bigger bags and one for the smaller bags.

2) Well my whole family knows I have a mirror with six pictures frames on it I never changed one of the original pre package pictures.  I had this frame for about five years now.  So it became this joke that they where my cousins.  People would ask me how they where doing.  It is the picture in the middle on the bottom row.

Now it looks like this!



3)  Missing sock board.  I have been seeing this go around pinterst and I finally made one out of two ideas.
     Now that you have seen both products....


I just used the saying of Department of Missing Socks from the second project.  I used it because it remind me of Harry Potter.  I just glued the ribbon on the cookie sheet instead of putting wholes in it.  I will someday decorate the clothes pins.   

-I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

Chicken Cheese Enchilada

In honor of our new wonderful state of Wisconsin my first recipe will be Chicken Cheese Enchilada's.  Yesterday I cleaned, read my book, cleaned, cooked, ate, played super munchkins, read, and went to sleep.    I told you pretty boring right now.  Same thing to day woke up, got dressed, watch some shows on hulu, eat launch, finished mockingjay, cleaned, cooked, ran to Walmart & hobby lobby, hanged up some pictures, read a couple of capthers of the vow, and eating peanut butter m&m's while typing this.  Tomorrow I am going to clean, try to get a eye exam, hair cut, and we are getting our licences and plates for our car.  I am going to get my craft room done then I will post pictures of our place.  Anyways back to the recipe, When I was younger my mom bought me a cook book at cookbooks in Kearney, NE.  When we got home from our trip mom made me make something out of it with her help.  This is the recipe I choose and I have added changes to it over this year.

Chicken Cheese Enchilada 

8 (8in) Flour Tortillas 
8 to 11 oz of shredded cheddar cheese
3 to 4 boneless chicken Breast cook and shredded 
1 C Salas 
1 Can nacho Cheese soup (I found mine in the soup aisle)
8 oz of Sour cream
1 tablespoon of Taco seasoning 

1) Cook your chicken how ever you like.  You can fry, bake it, or our favorite thing to do is get a whole chicken and cook in the crock pot and shredded it.  Then we put two cups worth in a freeze's bag and freezers.
2)Pre heat oven 350
3)Prepare the soup as directed and set aside. 
4)Mix shredded chicken, sour cream together and taco seasoning.
5) Along one side of each tortilla spread about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture and roll tortillas Place in a greased 9x 13 backing dish.  
6) Spread the soap over top of the rolled tortilla and sprinkle cheese on top.
7) Bake for 35 minutes and top it with the salsa.

Hello...yes I am still alive....

So I live a very boring live.  All I do is clean, read, clean, and play games.  I didn't think you want to here about my boring days that's why I haven't done anything on here.  For a week and a half Travis said we are going to do something fun on June 16th, but he wouldn't tell me what.  On Friday night he seemed really down, I asked him "whats wrong?"  "That thing I was going to take you to is best to see it in March."  He and I came up with a new plan,  we deiced to go to the farmers market.

 The first one we went to was the west side community market.  It was about the same size as the farmers market in Sioux City.  We walked around their for about twenty minutes.  We got fresh little strawberries, raspberries and garlic.  The second farmers market we went to was around the capital building of our new wonderful state.  On the way their we ate half of our yummy little strawberries and they turned are fingers red :D.  So we get their and we find the most amazing parking spot ever.  So we start walking around we found a beef jerky stand,  Travis got Cajun jerky and I got teriyaki jerky. We sat on the steps of the capital and ate our beef jerky.  After that we Found cool things to take pictures of but, it started to rain!  We got half way through it when we realized we have 20 minutes on our parking meter.  So we kinda walked fast through the rest of the stuff.  At WISCONSIN farmers market their is CHEESE!  We found this really big cheese both that was giving samples yum.  We did buy stuff from their the second time around. We got cajun cheese curds and bacon cheese spread.  At this point the rain was really coming down.  We got to the car, I put my camera bag in the car, Travis grab the umbrella, and we put more money in the meter.  We got back on the side walk went around again where it started raining the first time it stop raining the second time.  We went back to the cheese place and got our cheese.  We decided to go get hot and spicey cheese bread.  If you are ever in madison area go to Stella's Bakery.  It is so great, I can't wait for winter and make tomato soup.  It will go wonderful with it.  We went Hyvee and Copps for some of their deals.  Went home eat some of our yummy finds.  Around 2 I had to take a nap, I was so tired.  I can't wait to go back to the farmers market.  I hope it is really soon.  We had Chinese for dinner and watched the legend of Kora.       

Yesterday, was another very lazy day.  We made breakfast Pizza for dinner and we watch a old avatar episode.  After that Travis and I played munchies, because we are going to Iowa in about two weeks and I better be able to play he says.  During that I made strawbarrie cookies with my farmers market strawbarrys. I am going to go read but I should be cleaning.
-Have a wonderful day!

Laziest weekend we had a very long time.

This weekend was a very lazy weekend.  Yesterday we decided to go grocery shopping instead of doing it today.  After we got back we hung up my picture frames.  Our ledge in our bedroom had empty pictures frames on it because I wanted to get rid of the box, and I finally got pictures in them yesterday.  Travis then made Cajun Chicken Alfredo for dinner and we watched Tower Heist.  For the rest of the night I read and finished Catching Fire, the second Hunger Games book.  I can't wait to start the third one tonight.

We didn't do much today except  watch some old Avatar episodes and talked about what happening with the new avatar show.  We made a meatball pizza for dinner tonight and we are watching Kung Fu Panda 2.  Sundays we have this thing where we make our own pizza and we watch a movie.  Fortunately we have at least ten different pizza recipes so we don't get bored with pizza.


A very sad thing happened today while making dinner.  We have a bread maker that we call R2D2 because of his looks.  I don't go around naming all my appliances, so don't worry.  Travis and I made pizza dough in it today, and about five minutes later I heard a very big crash in the kitchen and the bread maker stop.  It rocked its way off the counter.  Great big sadness came over me when I walked into the kitchen and found it just laying on the floor. I use it almost every day for making dough.  I never have made bread in it, I just end up putting it in the oven to bake.  Anyway, the casing is kinda coming off.  Other than that it still works.
I am going have to get a new one in the near future I am afraid. Nope, my husband says it works great and I believe him! That what I get for leaving my laptop on while I get a drink.
-Hope everyone had a nice weekend!
