shake shake shakel.. your pork chops

Who ever invented shake n bake deserves a big KISS! I love love love it so much!!! When I was a kid, my mamaw made it and I have rediscovered it. I make 4 pork chops with it and have one left over for the next day. SO YUMMMY!

Now they have more flavors and have generic brands. I prefer the shake n bake brand, but the others aren't bad!

cheesssey rice yummmmmm

I just discovered this new rice that you microwave! Okay I am not into microwave food, but at this stage in my life we pick some hard things to make at dinner along with some easy stuff. This an easy thing. It is Uncle Ben's ready rice. They have lots of different kinds and it takes 90 seconds. My kids love it, they like the brown, long grain and the cheese ones the best.

best tip ever

A few weeks ago I was going on about how I can never keep enough milk in the house to the best neighbor ever! Susannah said... why not buy 3 gallons and put one in the freezer. What? Really? No F$%^*ing way!

So I did it. I love you Susannah!!! One of the Best Momma Tips EVER!

pb & j at its best!

shopping at the store is hard enough, but when you have two girls fighting the whole time, not to mention those blankin balloons they give them UGH! we were in the frozen section of the store and i am always in the look out for new things to do for lunch for them. i saw these smucker's uncrustables. they are peanut butter and either grape or strawberry sandwiches. the worst thing about them is forgetting to set them out 30 mins to an hour before eating. pretty cool cause my girls don't eat the crust and they are made in a way that the jelly isn't running down their faces.
ever inch of a clean body is needed in my day!

lip smakers

I have a kinda crazy addiction to chap stick, lip gloss lips stuff. When I was in college I became a lip smackers freak. I loved the cotton candy kind the best. I also really like bath and body works that is peppermint with a tint of color. Not sure what the big obsession is, my friends always said cause I had big lips and they needed love.

Now with two girls I have realized they too love lip stuff. So maybe it is in their blood, or cause they too have big lips and they need love.

matty burgers

When we were home at xmas, my brother in-law Matt (who we were staying with) was eating breakfast. He had these frozen sausage biscuits that you just microwave for 50 sec, don't go by the directions on this... I am now an expert! Stella had one and it was over. She eats them on most mornings. "Momma, can I have Matty burgers?" So now the whole family calls them Matty Burgers. Uncle Matty is so proud. :).

They are small and are in the freezer section at the store. We have tried two kinds, Jimmy Dean and Tennessee pride. I like the Tennessee ones and Steve likes the Jimmy Dean ones. The girls love both kinds.

jelly bean me

We have been busy. Sorry to those 3 peeps that actually read my blog. I love you!

I never really liked Jelly Beans much, but now I love them. Kinda pick about them though. We like the jolly rancher, starburst and of course the jelly belly ones the best.

I have found great uses for these lil round things. Potty training... one for pee two for poop. They are also great for when your 18 month old is screaming and you have no clue how to resolve the issue, give them a jelly bean and all is right with the world. I have also found it helps with sharing. One for you and two for me... wait is that right momma?

Thank goodness it is easter time and we can store up for the rest of the year when they go on clearance.
