How was your week? HMMM!
I have to chuckle (since Sister Hinkley said its better to laugh than to cry as crying gives her a headache and I agree) at the way this last week turned out. Life happened! Three sick kids with three different sicknesses and a rs dinner show switched up the plan a bit. So, the main change I HAVE to tell you about is the Saturday night switch. I didn't get food in the crock pot soon enough so I decided on breakfast for dinner. My breakfast board had lots of good options but I settled on this recipe. It was so dang yummy. And easy! My kids ate them right up and you can freeze them for a quick breakfast reheat in the microwave. :-)
They are called Delicious Omelet and Potato Breakfast Bites. LOL! But so good!

Lauretta's Intro:
1. I hate the winter! If it's winter, my kids are sick. I hate sick kids! Therefore I hate winter. Not to mention I don't like to be cold, I don't like to drive in the snow and I hate that my kids can't get outside and use up their over abundance of energy. If it weren't for family, I'm pretty sure I would live somewhere much warmer.
2. I'm a control freak. I didn't know this about myself until my mission where I had to learn that there are just some things you can't control. It's a daily battle as we all know how completely predictable being a mother is (snarkasm).
3. I love, LOVE a clean house. But alas, the saying is true, "Cleaning a house while children are growing is like shoveling the walk while it's still snowing". Some days it just makes no sense.
4. I was the third child of nine and loved being with my family and having so many siblings. To this day we are all great friends and never fight. I always thought I would have a large family, but feel so very lucky and blessed to have the kids I have. 7 years of infertility, followed by 7 years of child bearing have us our 4 beautiful children. They each really are a miracle.
5. Speaking of infertility, during those years (the hardest years of my life as of date), I was medically induced into menopause, had 2 surgeries, was on hormone replacement therapy,and fertility drugs. So, I tend to give myself a break when my brain doesn't function because my body has been through the ringer. Especially considering that following all of that, I was pregnant 4 times in 3 1/2 years with one of those a miscarriage. So, I'm a mess.
6. I'm rambling because my 18 month old has ran a high fever all day, sleeping through it, and it finally broke now at 10:30 pm and he is ready to play. Feeling tired but so grateful for a smiling baby after a long scary day.
7. I'm such a small town girl. I lived on a ranch 7 miles from town which populated 650 people. I graduated with 36 in my class and my whole high school grades 9-12 had 190 students. Having said that, I really never thought I would travel like I have. I've been to DC, California, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Vegas, Oregon, Yellowstone, Carribean, Mexico (4 cruises), and Arizona. The majority of those have been with Mike, and I hope for many more. K. Ramble over!

Sarah's menu recap and new menu
I try to make a menu every week and stick to it pretty closely. This last week was the exception to that. Between the whole family being sick on different days, a change to my husbands work schedule and unexpected extra kids I am glad we even ate something. Most nights it was fend for yourself. I hope to do better this week.

Tuesday Slow cooker beef and potatoes (from last week)
Wednesday Chili from the freezer
Thursday I am making mint chocolate cookies and butterscotch oatmeal cookies for Thanksgiving
Friday Rice crispy chicken with coleslaw and baked beans

Rice Crispy Chicken
Fill a gallon Ziploc bag about 1/2 full with rice crispies Smash until they are coarse crumbs. Add season salt (or what ever seasonings you like) I put about 2 tsp. of salt in. Cut boneless skinless chicken breasts into strips. Roll the chicken in melted butter then the rice crispies. place in a greased pan and cook until done.

Angela Intro and Answer to Questions 1 & 2
I really just need to say "ditto" to Brittany's post below. But here are a few things:
-- My inner temper scares me but can be quickly calmed by alone time. It's just hard to come by in a house of three littles.
-- I know Shelly from Seattle and cried when she moved. Then we moved to Utah too so it's all ok now.
-- I'm rediscovering how much I love to read (Try the Happiness Project, it makes me smile)
-- I'm a horrid planner and keeping track of life in general (so thanks Shelly for this challenge)
-- I have beautiful children whose good looks make things easier when they don't sleep.
-- I love baking, chocolate, reading, running (because that equals alone time), singing, and mountains
Answer to Question 1: YUMPRINT
Answer to Question 2: Spaghetti with Crushed Tomato Sauce
Recipe:
1 large can crush tomatoes
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic
2 Tble lemon juice
Salt (usually 1.5 tsp) and Pepper to taste
We love it and will never by a jar of sauce again. I'm excited to try it on this spaghetti bread y'all posted and are putting on your menus.
ps. How does everyone here know Shelly? And this has nothing to do with food, but it was about a year ago this week that Shelly and I were in our friend's garage who hosted crossfit workouts and I watched in awe as Shelly cranked out beautiful, perfect pull-ups. Was it 15 of them non-stop? Regardless, she came off the bar with bloody hands :)

Britt's Week 2
I'm with Cassie...I'm leaving off salads, fruit, etc...unless it's noteworthy.
Tuesday: Green chicken enchiladas (awesome twist on enchiladas)
Wednesday: Veggie lasagna
Thursday: turkey!!
Friday: Creamed peas and potatoes
Saturday: Leftover lasagna + breadsticks
Sunday: Flammer family dinner
I haven't had a chance to look at the yummily website yet, so I'm just adding my recipe right here:
Easy Crock pot Chili
1 lb hamburger, thawed (I never use that much, maybe 1/3 or 1/2 lb)
1 can kidney beans
1 can tomato sauce (whatever size I have, usually small)
1 can peeled, diced tomatoes
1 can corn
1 can chili beans
1 can green chilies
taco seasoning (1-2 T)
Toss everything into the crock pot and mix it in. Cook on low 6-8 hours. My crockpot cooks fast, so it only takes 3-4 hours, but it's so easy.
Sarah's intro
'
So just a little bit about me.
- I have four crazy wild fun kids that keep me extra busy. I spend all my time taking care of my kids and attempting to keep my house semi clean.
- When I am not taking care of kids I love making quilt tops for other people. I use to make them all the time and keep them but you can only have so many quilts. I have ran out of time to make many more. When I get a chance to make one I end up giving it away.
- I love cooking and spending time in the kitchen. I grew up learning to cook by my mom's side. She taught me to enjoy cooking. James laughs at me on a daily basis because I hate measuring anything I cook I just put stuff in until it looks good. So if I put a recipe on here it may not have measurements on it.
- I love to travel. I dream of some day to continue to travel around the world. I have been to almost as many countries out side of the United States as I have States.
- I do not enjoy putting clean dishes away. I cannot wait until my kids are old enough to put them away for me.
- I hate talking or writing about myself. I am a pretty quite person and prefer to listen rather than speak.
