Sixteen

Aren't they adorable? My uncle's Golden Retriever had SIXTEEN puppies over the weekend. Bless her heart....she had such a rough go. She had two on her own on Saturday, but was unable to deliver the rest. They loaded her up and took her to the vet where they did a c-section. Needless to say they are going to be very busy in the upcoming weeks.

Menu Plan Monday

Hello Fellow Bloggers!!! Well, this month is flying by, and I know I haven't posted forever. It's never a dull moment around our house, that's for sure. We still have snow on the ground in our part of the country. Our daughter has school tryouts starting today for softball, and they can't even be on the field (it's covered in snow). They will be in the gym at school, and she is so excited to get the season started. It's raining here today, so I'm sure a lot of our white stuff will disappear. Let's keep our fingers crossed for sunny days ahead to dry those fields up :)

Here is our menu for the week:



Monday - Vegetable Beef Stew in Crock Pot

Tuesday - Tenderloin, mashed potatoes, corn, gravy & biscuits

Wednesday - Taco salads with left over taco soup in the freezer

Thursday - Homemade Pizza

Friday - Chicken Fajitas, Salsa cream cheese dip

Saturday - Party Ham Biscuits, potato casserole, baked beans

Snowed In Weekend

We had the best weekend. Started snowing Friday night and we ended up with about 10 inches. We stayed in all day Saturday. Yesterday, church services were cancelled and hubby ended up cleaning the driveway and walks. I know a lot of people around here are getting tired of the white stuff....not me!!! I LOVE IT!!! It was especially nice we had snow on the weekend, my daughter didn't miss school, hubby didn't have to brave it to work, and well, I stayed in my p.j's. Our son?...he was out & about with his friends (as usual). I just love downtime!!!

Menu Plan Monday

Monday - Grilled Hamburgers, Potato Salad, Baked Beans

Tuesday - Black Bean Enchiladas, Toss Salad

Wednesday - Party Ham Rolls, left over potato salad, green beans

Thursday - Pesto Tomato Ravioli, Toss Salad

Friday - Eating at mom's :)

Saturday - Birthday Dinner - Eating Out

Sunday - Taco Salads/finger foods

Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sorry!! I know anybody can get this recipe cause it's on the back of Nestle Toll House Semi-sweet Morsel bag, but I'm sharing it anyway. Last week I fixed the "Good for you Cookies", this week I fix the "Not so good for you Cookies". I justify it because I know they are better for you than the store bought packaged cookies....and besides....I was really craving some chocolate chip cookies!!

Original Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cup morsels
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)



Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, sugars, and vanilla in large mixing bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one ta a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake 9-11 minutes in a preheated 375 degree oven.

I've added some new items on my Selling Site

Thought I would share a few pictures. All these items were made by my friend Rose. She has tons of merchandise and has been primitive crafting for 30 years. I have learned so much from her. I just added them to my selling site this morning http://www.fullcupblessings.com/ These are just a few. Hope you enjoy!!
